OPENING STATEMENT: the expendables is a movie for the reminding of all the 80"s and 90"s action heroes and bringing them together.
CASE: a group of mercenaries known as the expendables are hired to overthrow a dictator in a island called velina. the group is hired by bruce willis and lead by barney ross( stallone)
FATE: the expendables is specially made for action lovers. normal
audience would not risk to watch it as it has nothing for them.
EVIDENCE: stallone brings in a action fest with all the big time heroes along with cameos of arnold and bruce. jason statham, jet li lundgreen and rourke are seen for a deeper roles in the movie. steve austin is the baddie and randy couch is a strong expendable. with poor script the movie might fade but with crisp editing and fast paced screenplay and cinematography capturing the beauty of the gulf has played a very important mark for the movie. sound mix is awesome and plays the role in the battle sequences with bullets flying all around the space and gusting start of the air bird( plane) roaring bikes and explosions with deep bass and fidelity capturing brian tyler"s score in the midst. rest departments are fare enough.
WHAT COULD HAVE BETTER: a strong script
1st half should have been better
longer role for bruce willis
CLOSING STATEMENT: the expendables is the movie for action lovers and not the one for the normal audience. so we shall anyway
thank stallone for his effort.
FINAL VERDICT: the heroes win the war!
