One- sentence review

The film provides the massive adrenaline rush that fans need before the fall season. One by one, "The Hollywood Reporter,

a feast for mindless enjoyment! Foreigners are all enemies, and partners only need a wink, and any false patterns in 'art' are completely abandoned. Someone also said a classic line: 'I'll be back' Guess who? 'Entertainment Weekly' is

a muscle smash that offers the maximum firepower and minimal brainpower its target audience has come to expect. 'Variety'

is more entertaining than its predecessor, It's also somewhat more reasonable at the same time. 1. The New York Post's

film, through humor and self-joking, dedicates enough fun to the purely masculine film to please the audience. 1. Behind the

scenes of "USA Today"

The sequel to the escalating violence is

in Before "The Expendables" was released, this sequel had already taken root in the mind of director and star Sylvester Stallone. Stallone said at the time that he had a very powerful idea that could put all the Everyone was shocked. It was just that he hadn't started writing the script at that time. Stallone said: "I've been planning a bigger, more violent, more exciting sequel because I know what the audience likes. . "It's just that the producers didn't just want the first episode, the heavy '80s B vibe to be lessened. They wanted the sequel to look more like a new era of action. Film director Simon West said: "We wanted the film to be more exciting, more violent, and in addition to the traditional action elements, we also incorporated more present elements into the film. Terrorists in Eastern Europe, better weapons, larger narrative context, etc. The success of the first episode should be attributed to the appeal of this group of actors, and if the second season wants to continue the success of the previous work, then only more effort in the story, plot and scenes. "

In the beginning, in order to win more audiences, Stallone wanted to make the film a PG-13 film. However, in the end, in order to take care of the consistent effect of Stallone's films, the film was shot as an R-rated film. Stallone said: "We originally wanted to make the film PG-13, but that would defeat our original intention of making a sequel and there would be no way to provide audiences with more dazzling entertainment. So in the end, the film Still got R-rated. Check out Saw or a sequel to Conan the Barbarian, they're both R-rated movies, and they're all good. This movie goes further than the first episode in terms of violence .I mean, there's a lot going on in every way, explosions, gunfights, action scenes, etc. And there's a lot of exciting scenes of motorcycles rushing into planes, planes flying low, trains colliding, etc. Okay Said that, compared with the previous work, this film has upgraded the violence on a large scale." The selling point of the

action hero carnival

"The Expendables" lies in the full set of action film actors. In the last episode, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis only made a brief appearance, and in this episode, they both have a considerable role. This is a good thing for fans who like them. Simon West said: "These stars are the main force of the film in the absolute sense, and the story of the film is created to show their strength. One explosion after another, continuous action scenes will make fans scream and enjoy it. It should be said that this movie is a party for action movie stars. All the incredible action scenes you can think of can be seen in this movie."

In addition to a few old faces from the previous episode, the film features alternate faces like Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Winton and Scott Adkins. Talking about these new actors, Stallone said: "I really like working with these professional people. You know I'm always very demanding, very picky about gunfire, shooting or action scenes. And their professional The quality just makes it very easy for me to work with them. For me at this age, I feel very honored that these actors are still willing to make movies with me. Because Hemsworth played Thor, there are Better, bigger movies are waiting for him, and he's willing to come to me, I'm really happy. You know, a young actor like him may not like to be in such an 80s-style action movie. On the set, the atmosphere of our cooperation is very harmonious, and we chat and play like brothers. In fact, it is not easy for these actors to appear in a movie, the set is like a club, everyone is happy It's actually a good thing to work together."
