   For 4n utterly braindead and 4rtlessly cr4fted movie th4t feels like 4 fe4ture-length FMV cut-scene from 4 Sega CD g4me, “Expend4bles” would be a lot more p4inful if not for the fact that it’s so 4t pe4ce with its gener4l shittiness. Don’t get me wrong, the creative and aesthetic indifference behind this long-gestating action sequel — which arrives nine years after “Expendables 3,” but still well before people had time to get nostalgic for this already reheated ’80s revival junk — is remarkable even by the standards of a series that has always prided itself on being cinema’s most glorified direct-to-video project, the “Avengers” of Cialis. The script, credited to Max Adams, Kurt Wimmer, and the awesomely-named Tad Daggerhart, feels…

   According to a quick Google search, The Expend4bles carried a budget of 100 million dollars. This is impossible for several reasons. 1. The latest installment of the long running franchise carries the production value of the films Steven Seagal made in Romania in the early aughts. 2. 70% of the movie is heavily augmented with CGI, with entire scenes being performed in front of a green screen. This even includes interiors. Basically, they rented a warehouse somewhere to house a couple of cheap looking sets and a green screen. The CGI ranks among the worst I’ve seen, right in line with what you would expect from a SyFy flick. 3. The script must have been written entirely by AI. It…

   Starring: The Bold, Bald, Gruff Action Man Jason Statham It’s been a while since I’ve been very adamant about going to the theaters to watch a movie. I’m not kidding when I say I was questioning on whether watching this or maybe rewatch something else. But obviously based on this review, I decided I was going to go in and hope for the best. And it was an okay time. Definitely not bad enough to warrant the title of “worst movie of the year”, in my opinion. It does have a very thin and generic plot. The CGI… the CGI… the C… G… I… CGI. The writing is mediocre at best; some of the banter had some people at my…

    So eine Fortsetzung fühlt sich an, als ob der Vater von einem Kumpel nach 9 Jahren vom Zigarettenholen zurückkommt, weil er eine Niere von deinem Kumpel braucht.

    I’ve never seen a more phoned-in movie. Most of the Expendables are gone, leaving only one actual star, Statham, to do much of anything. Special effects are on par with Decker vs Dracula. Almost two-thirds of the runtime takes place on one boat. I thought we were going to get a new location for Act 3, but no. Stallone, the spiritual godfather of the franchise, blesses us only with an extended cameo. In his absence, a disproportionate amount of expository dialogue is given to Randy Couture, since Dolph and 50 Cent are certainly not up to the task. The previous Expendables all rolled into theatres with unearned confidence, but they at least thought they were delivering the goods. This one is an undisguised scam. I almost respect how little anyone tried. That said, I would still like to see an audit on that $100 million budget, and maybe jail time for somebody.

    Wenn ein Film 9 Jahre lang in der Produktionshölle steckt, sein Erfinder mittendrin wegen kreativer Differenzen aussteigt und später doch zurückkehrt, mehrere Cast-Member nicht mehr „zur Verfügung stehen“ und dann auch noch der Regisseur gefeuert wird, dann weiß der geneigte Trash-Connaisseur: Mittag ist angerichtet. Tatsächlich überrascht dann aber doch, dass „Expendables 4“ nicht einfach nur scheiße ist, sondern ein waschechtes Debakel und klarer Tiefpunkt der Reihe. Deren Konzept hat mich ja ohnehin nie wirklich erreicht. Ja, ist lustig all die vergessenen Actionhelden der Vergangenheit nochmal auf die Leinwand zu zerren, aber Stallone hatte schon beim ersten „Expendables“ nicht verstanden, dass die besten Filme seiner alternden Riege immer auch gute Filme waren. „Expendables 4“ hat keine dieser Namen mehr im Gepäck.…

    I was not impressed by this addition to The Expendables series directed by Scott Waugh.

    This might be the very last one since the entire hook of these movies is a homage to old skool action stars from the decades 80s and 90s kicking ass in a new type of role lead by Syvester Stallone. Jason Statham basically takes over this entire movie. His fighting style is ruthless and filled with snarky comments for almost every kill.

    There really isn’t much for the other actors to do in this movie.

    I wouldn’t say skip this movie because it does deliver loads of actions. But if you are a fan of the series from the beginning, then you probably won’t like this movie compared to the previous ones.

    I give this 2/5 stars

    ‘Expend4bles’ is a mixed bag. I was never entertained, though I was also never all that bored – odd.

    I think it’s ever so slightly watchable because of those who are in it, given they all fit their roles to the T. However, I can’t class it as anything ‘good’ because the sole job of these films is to be entertaining – and this just isn’t, even if I wasn’t necessarily craving the end credits. It’s all simply rather dull.

    Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone (who is strangely, given he is the series’ star, sidelined) are a solid pairing, while Megan Fox does quite well throughout – her best performance that I’ve seen, admittedly I haven’t yet checked out anything with her in a lead role; ‘Transformers’ (meh) aside. Andy García, meanwhile, is alright, the best of the rest if I was forced to pick one of ’em.

    I’m kinda surprised this franchise even got a fourth entry, since its release I kept forgetting it even existed… and sadly, post-watch, I don’t see that changing. Weakest of the tetralogy, for me.

    I love all 3 parts before this 3rd class movie. The story is classic not bad not good for this type of movies and lots of actors from the previous movies are missing, but they bring us Megan Fox and ruin everything. I hope that this will last movie in this series.

    A B grade action flick masquerading as a A list title. That’s my reaction to Expendables 4.

    Yes, its a tired formula but at least previous Expendable films in this cheesy action franchise, showed a little genuine enthusiasm and included a cast of well worn but also well known, action stars.

    By contrast, the latest flick is easily forgettable with a good number of cast members, I’ve never heard of or seen on screen, infrequently.

    In summary, looks and behaves like a decidedly B grade action film with a sparse sprinkling of A grade action talent. Feels too, likes its going through the motions but not really delivering, if that makes sense.

    To be honest, there’s very little new in this formulaic action adventure. It’s the usual old who has got the launch codes mystery that sees Sly Stallone’s “Barney” recruit his best mate “Christmas” (Jason Statham) and their lethal gang of expendables to thwart the ambitions of an unknown criminal mastermind who is hoping to arm a boat load of nuclear missiles and start WWIII. Thing is, tragedy strikes very early on in the film and “Christmas” is taken off the team that is sent to avenge that. Is he staying home to fester? Of course not, and lucky too – for soon he is trying to free his pals from captivity before all hell breaks loose. Plenty of pyrotechnics, a bit of contrived sexual chemistry (with Megan Fox’s “Gina”) and loads of bullets and missiles flying around keep the film moving along well enough, but the story is the thinnest of the thin; the baddie’s identity is hardly a challenge to discover nor is the twist in the tale at the end remotely unexpected. Good to see that the acting colossus that is Dolph Lundgren is still getting on screen nowadays, but otherwise this really is unremarkable stuff that even the usually charismatic Statham can’t really sustain.
