"The Expendables": pure men, stupid men

"The Expendables" clearly shows that some people are justified, and some people can only be second and third-tier stars. The lineup of "The Expendables" is very bluffing. When many people see the faces of these weather-beaten pure men, they will be hypnotized. In fact, a careful analysis of this cast of tiger skins is It can be seen that this is a B-level film lineup that lacks gold content. The only old-fashioned action stars that really counted as resurrection were Stallone and Ronger. Bruce Willis and Schwarzenegger both came to play soy sauce. Although Stallone is not good at it, he can still sell old faces. In fact, this movie The best scene in the movie is also the part of Lao Shi, Lao Bu, and Lao Shi. It is really the feeling of a few old friends who are joking and recounting the old. Stallone's heavy makeup can't conceal his senility, but Longger completely abolished him, leaving Jet Li in his hands. I really think these Westerners are quite shameless. The remaining three people are professional wrestlers who came to mix with Hollywood. They did not mix with Dashi Johnson's reputation. They can only sell muscles in various small productions. Fortunately, there are two people who make "The Expendables" have the most basic quality assurance, one is Jason Statham, who is in his prime, and the other is Miki Locke, who barely walked out of the tattoo house in the film.
As a movie that respects the elderly, the thing that disgusts me the most about "The Expendables" is his attitude of relying on the old and selling the old. He clearly can't fight but still strives to make a posture of being invincible in the world. I can recognize your old ambitions, but this game is only fun in the context of serving the old and not accepting defeat. It may not necessarily achieve the temperament of "Wrestling King", but the necessary self-deprecation and ability Only by limiting can this story gain more taste of life.
Several mercenaries have entered the dictatorship to save the people from fire and water. "The Expendables" is Stallone's most frequently used mission mode to go deep behind enemy lines. It just changed from the lonely mode of the "First Blood" series to the team combat mode here. The plot is simple. At the extreme, it doesn't really matter. Watching this movie is mainly about running into action scenes, but the action scenes of "The Expendables" make me feel uncomfortable. First of all, one thing that must be done in such a group drama is the complementarity of the characters' abilities and the uniqueness of their personalities, so as to ensure that each character has a high degree of recognition and allow the audience to have a more sense of belonging. Several people in "The Expendables" are shooting guns, throwing knives, fighting, and using heavy weapons. Such character settings are too sloppy and monotonous. The direct result is monotonous scenes and aesthetic fatigue. Secondly, Stallone-led action movies have always sold heavy tastes of violence, and although "The Expendables" is also R-rated, there is no blood and torture in the "First Blood" series in the action scenes, and the heavy tastes I expect It's a far cry. Moreover, the thing that disappointed me the most about this film was the old fashioned and poor design of the action, and there was no imagination at all. After watching the whole movie, there was no action scene that could stay in my mind for a moment. No matter how bad "Dragon Agents" is, at least no one will ignore the sturdy tanks flying in the air, right? In fact, this is the difference between a B-level film and a big production.
Stallone thought everything was too simple. He thought that a few muscular men and a few licensed melees would become a pure man action movie? Although we shouldn't have high expectations for such a brainless film, the stupidity and ignorance revealed in "The Expendables" still exceeded my expectations. The saddest thing here is Jet Li, who has been in Hollywood for so many years, and still has to mix in this kind of movie. The lines designed for him by the screenwriter do not know whether it is cold humor or something. What he said is "I need money", I almost want Add the sentence "(I need money) to treat my son with autism" below.
