"The Expendables 2": Don't mess with the uncle

This year, almost only Stallone can make such a hard-hitting action movie. From the first minute, "The Expendables 2" is full of steel, gunpowder, muscles and tough guys. The unfamiliar uncle launched a vigorous battle of hot weapons on the screen (the oldest Chuck Norris is even older).

Li Lianjie's role is not much, but waving a frying pan and flying up and down is enough to show the style of this Kung Fu emperor. Besides, with Yu Nan's hotline joining, Chinese elements are actually consistent in this "Expendables 2" - as A sole female member, Yu Nan has more female lead roles than Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger combined.

The plot is still very simple. It continues the mercenary path of the previous episode. Stallone leads the uncles and uncles across the world, punishing evil and promoting good, and showing off his muscles. As a film that pays homage to the hardcore action films of yesteryear, The Expendables 2 features veteran stars such as Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Vandon, and Chuck Norris, and Greatly increased their roles - Willis goes from the manipulator to the front, Schwarzenegger fights alongside the "Expendables", Jean-Claude Vandon becomes the villain in the ultimate showdown with Stallone, Chuck Norris Walking the rivers and lakes in the name of "Lone Wolf", and with the participation of a lot of old-fashioned big names, even if Jet Li's role is less, it will already be worth the ticket price.

The core plot of "The Expendables 2" is actually the mode of "Seven Samurai". In order to solve the Albanian mountain residents from the fascist rule of the evil gangsters, the uncles of the Expendables went into battle together. Jump around and piggyback to save the world - the bad guys have the nuclear material in their hands that will destroy the planet many times over. The so-called "San" people should be an insinuation of the ethnic conflicts in the Balkans; and the abandoned Soviet military base accurately reflects the nostalgic meaning of the film-in the Cold War era, the uncles were flourishing , the cannon and machine gun will kill all the way to the past, so happy, brother! Just like now, there are computer viruses at every turn, Internet attacks and defenses, a few keystrokes on the keyboard, and a copy of a program to defend world peace, all of which are sissy.

Bob Dylan once sang: "How many journeys a man has to go through before he can truly become a man." In fact, men are as precious as diamonds. One day, the face is already old. Hesworth was the youngest in the entire team, but he had not had time to realize his wish to live with his girlfriend, and he died early in a foreign country. Finally, the uncles sent letters and money to his girlfriend for him.

After Jason Statham beat the villain with one punch, he looked at his equipment and said, "Classic is classic"; Arnold Schwarzenegger always used "I'll be back" funny; at the end, Bruce Wayne Liss gave Stallone a plane. Stallone looked at the plane and said, "This guy is old enough to go to a museum." Schwarzenegger immediately answered, "Just like all of us."

At that moment, I felt the loneliness of a male power. The lion was not knocked down, it was just getting old.

The old lion is still a lion, and the young sheep is still a sheep. The uncle is still full of strength. Remember, never provoke your uncle. They move ruthlessly, and the young people can't stand it.
