A feast of mindless pleasure

Watching The Expendables 2 is not for appreciating the twists and turns of the storyline, but for the group of iron-blooded men with the brand of an era. Compared with The Expendables 1, the violent aesthetics of Dare 2 are more vividly reflected, which is a joy. The dizzying battle scene from the rescue at the beginning, the thrill of blood and flesh, the arrogance of the familiar men, the emotion towards teammates, the character of vengeance and revenge, plus a little humor, impacted me in all directions. sensory nerves. Although the storyline will still be criticized by others, I have to say that I am very cool to watch Dare 2.
In Dare 2, it is not difficult to find that Chinese elements have become an indispensable part, which makes me very gratified, because it shows that Dare 2 still attaches great importance to the box office in China, which is similar to the development of Chinese films in recent years. It's not unrelated, what I want to complain about is that as the "yin and yang" with the highest kung fu among the 11 old men, China's kung fu emperor Jet Li is actually a soy sauce.
There's no doubt that Dare 2 has given moviegoers the massive adrenaline rush they need before the fall off-season hits. Maybe you would say that the male hormones are too flooded, but what I want to say is that in this feast of mindless enjoyment, their partners completely abandon any artistic fake mode and have some understanding, and the audience expects the greatest firepower And minimal brain power, and that pure masculine self-joking that made the audience laugh, finally made Dare 2 a good movie in my opinion. It's a pity that the final confrontation between the villain and Stallone in the story is a little pale.
All in all, I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I felt very happy watching these old men fighting and having fun. The performance of these tough guys is one less than one show. What else can there be other than affirmation and reluctance, I am thinking, as for other rules and regulations.
