After 3 episodes of the Expendables saga, we thought that Sylvester Stallone would not be returning to the Barney Ross costume for mercenary. It’s not a good idea to meet the legendary artist of Rock and Rambo who is still 77 years old!
Expendables 4, dedicated to editor Michael J. Duty, is it a good movie? That’s the question we’ll try to answer using AlloCiné viewer ratings and reviews. As of October 12, the feature film has a rating of 2.7 out of 5 (109 average ratings). At the moment, this rating makes Part 4 the worst episode in the saga behind the original 2010 opus (2.9 out of 5).
However, while Scott Waugh’s feature film was widely panned upon its US release, AlloCiné’s first French audience is more nuanced. “We’re finding everything that makes the Expendables great in their 4th mission, which is getting back to basics. Aging veterans are chipping in and newcomers are bringing in new blood.”As estimated by OMTR.
On the other hand, Vader Mir appreciates the film “Too bad. It’s not for the genius audience, the dialogues are ridiculous. There are actors who don’t care and have no spontaneity, watching each other play. The music, the vulgarity, the violence… nothing is right. It’s mediocre.”
For Imc-3, Expendables 4 remains “Good entertainment. It’s a crazy action movie with a great show in the continuity of the franchise, inferior to the first two, superior to the third”, he assures us. D is quite consistent with its counterpart, discovery “Good news, but very badly used.”
Good action scenes?
“The characters are more or less interesting and the special effects are poorly done. Some scenes are annoying or overdone. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the action scenes.”, he notes. Richou X is much more viral: “This is wonderful indigestible fluff! The script is amazingly bad and everything is bland and uninteresting!”
Kal Tori decries that certain scenes were shot in a studio. “The green background is very noticeable. As for the special effects, like explosions, I found them to be quite simple and well done, except for the planes and helicopters. As for the film in general, it’s action like any other. A story already seen in other works of the genre.”he emphasizes.
Information is provided by Damienpetit730 “Cinematic and rehashed story with extremely poorly executed scenes. It’s a sloppy mix of movie and video game”, he believes. Finally, we can cite Titanneeb, who rates the feature film 3 out of 5, resulting in a “A very heavy action movie with a not-so-great script and some heavy-handed jokes.”
To remind you, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture are back in Expendables 4, surrounded by newcomers: 50 Cent, Megan Fox, Jacob Scipio, Levi Tran and Tony Jaa. An excellent team of strong guys will have a lot to do in this new opus.
