Well I have been waiting for this movie from past 6 to 7 months !!! as I really loved the combo of Jason & stallone :) and finally today I went to my FAV theater URVASHi :) God I really loved the Audio in Urvashi..just awesome..
Well as soon as the Trailers ends(actually it gave my money back :D) the movie started and I never seen people whistling for an English movie !!! well today I was proved totally wrong.. for each and every actor entrance ppl used to scream and clap it was really a sight to enjoy for action mv lovers.
After first 15 min( first fight sequence) I felt like I am watching some old 80s action flick!!! :) now the real review starts here :
During the 80’s and 90’s it was a common question whether action film superstars could ally and face evil enemies.Sly never allied with Arnie, and each superstar continued to trash evil guys by its own.Until today!In this film everything the audience could expect from the action movie genre is here:hard language, tons of big and small explosions, black humor and a small army of film heroes blowing away a large army of bad guys.All the stars we loved are here, along with our memories from past movies coupled with fresh stars like Jason Statham and Jet Li.Don’t expect great acting here, neither a script that will be awarded an Oscar :D
Statham on the other hand, is the clear standout of the film, alternating between the comic relief and the genuine bad-ass of the whole film. He steers his role well (even with the needless subplot involving an ex-girlfriend played by Charisma Carpenter), and holds his own against everyone, including Stallone. He has a lot of fun in his role, and he is obviously the best thing about the film :) :)
The showpiece stunt is quite nice. It involves Statham sitting at the nose of a cargo plane firing from recessed machine guns as they dive as a dock full of enemy combatants; it’s as thrilling as it sounds. In a time where everything seems to have been done, I have to say that I haven’t seen that before :)
The best scene of course is the scene with Arnold, Bruce and Sly. In this three minute scene, you have some of the funniest stuff in the film :D
So overall The Expendables is what an action film should be. It is a lot of explosions, larger than life characters, hand to hand combat, incredibly bad-ass men, humour and a frenetic pace. Even when it slows down to get to know these men a bit, guys like Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Statham steal the show
Note: this movie is purely meant for Guyz. if you want to enjoy pl go with boys gang otherwise you may have to walk out with u r GF in b/w :)
Enjoy
