The Expendables 3 was written by Dave Callaham, Sylvester Stallone, and directed by Patrick Hughes and Dan Bradley. Compared with the first two episodes, this episode brings together more and more action movie stars. Some people say that the movie in this episode is obviously not as good as the first two episodes, I can only say that the movie is not like this! The first two episodes of the movie can't be regarded as action movies in the true sense. They just use the gimmicks of nostalgia and star joining to earn enough attention. What we really show us are the stars and movie slots! And when it comes to this episode, I really embark on the production of action movies. There are frameworks, plots, many commercial elements, and a real connotation of action movies! Although the plot of the movie is simple and crude, it is definitely a true tribute to the action movies of the 1980s and 1990s. Whether it is the style of the movie, the characteristics of the movie, and the design of the movie, they all gather the most characteristic signatures of the action movie era! Moreover, the structural design of the film is also very organized, giving full play to the role of each actor, and rationally arranging the performance of each actor, instead of just highlighting the role of Stallone alone, becoming a true star movie! Of course, the most prominent feature of the movie is Stallone's core position in the movie. His character really connects the development of the whole movie's plot, which also makes the movie's plot more tense and controllable! As an action commercial film, the film is undoubtedly a success. As an independent film, the film's expressiveness has also been fully improved. If you say that this episode does not feel as good as the first two episodes, it can only show that the people watching the film are obviously With personal emotions! The only regret in the movie is the portrayal of Jet Li's character. His appearance is too abrupt and unexpected. Although the character's appearance is very novel and surprising, it still does not give a positive appearance, which makes people who like him somewhat We are sorry for it! However, from the perspective of Jet Li's consistent role in soy sauce, we don't blame the director for making such an arrangement, and our hearts are relieved a lot!
As the final part of the trilogy, the movie has achieved unprecedented levels in both star lineup and scene upgrades. Friends who like Hong Kong-style action movies will also like this movie, because the design and style of this movie obviously make People feel very influenced by director John Woo! In addition, the plot of the movie has also been strengthened a lot, and the feelings of each character have been greatly enriched. The contradictions in the plot of the characters in the movie are also very prominent and interesting. It is obvious that you can feel the difference from the first two episodes, which also makes the movie more interesting. Level up a level!
Perhaps it is the reason for paying homage to the action films of the 1980s and 1990s. The form and action design of the film are obviously old-fashioned, and the heroic characters are always shot, and the bullets are unscathed. It does not meet the requirements of the times and aesthetic enjoyment of modern war films. In the small war, a dozen people fighting against a unit and all of them were rescued unscathed is definitely an unbelievable ending, and the final peak duel ended too quickly and the fight was not enjoyable enough. It is too hopeless. The movie didn't give enough time to accept it and ended in a hurry, making the final celebration time a bit too redundant!
