I saw the leaked Expendables 3 in advance, in fact, the psychological expectation is just like that. Perhaps the effects of those bang bang bang bang are not satisfactory, but such a lineup and performance can probably still attract some eyes-or rather, evoke some classic shadows.
To be honest, the Expendables series got off to a good start. They found a bunch of classics and made them into a luxurious team. In the past, they could each be on their own in the movies. Now it is more powerful to form a team. The first part was done, the second part was relatively peak, it was rare to get a new sniper and it didn't take long to hang up, and in the end it was mainly the old men; in the third part, basically all the rookies were playing in the middle, which made The movie fans who came for the gentlemen are a little disappointed, but think about it again, these gentlemen are also getting old, and the serious action should really be left to the young people. But what about the audience for this series of videos? What should movie fans with a nostalgic mentality think?
The newcomer sells action, skill, handsomeness and meat. Not to mention a few old characters, adding a few new "old" people makes this Expendables 3 still have some feelings to sell. Antonio Banderas played a master who overcame the wall and suddenly reminded people of Zorro's heroic appearance. This setting of the dead star without a word was also the biggest joke in the audience; Harrison Ford seemed to be tossing around. Moved, became a pilot, and let the plane dodge and sway, of course, and of course there was Indiana Jones's dashingness in the grin from time to time. Mel Gibson's composure in the helicopter at first, his grace in the exhibition hall, and his pride in the command post seems to still be able to see the shadow of "Patriot" and "Braveheart", even if it is fleeting. , enough to evoke nostalgia.
In order to satisfy the feelings of the old people, all the enemies are naturally set to be scumbags with only five combat effectiveness and zero hit rate, even if there are several tanks and multiple helicopters this time, it must be the case. Of course, everyone agrees with this setting. The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that it directly reduces the combat effectiveness of the villain, so it is not exciting. This time the little boss, the rough-hearted guy with the power to break walls and rubble is too sloppy. He seems to only be able to bump and hug. , so boring. It's no wonder that Mel Gibson will get angry at the end. He is not afraid of his opponents who are like gods, but he is afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Although the troops assigned to him are too scumbag, he needs to go to A by himself. It seems that he will kill the whole audience. a few of my own. This pretentious gesture of going out in person made everyone look forward to the final BOSS battle, but in fact, after only two rounds, she was shot to death by Stallone... Okay! In fact, the whole movie is the same as this BOSS battle, full of expectations and full of awesome reverie space, but suddenly it ends, people can't believe that a bunch of guys are already celebrating in the bar Victory.
Just like the design of the series "The Expendables", such a result is probably doomed - we always expect a group of pure men who are particularly good to bring us a blood-filled experience, but forget that they will also grow old, and there will be troubles. when moving. Those classics that stand on their own can only be left in the past and put together, but only to evoke the feelings worth remembering from the starting point. Feelings are easy to get old, and they can't stand the ravages of reality, but they are still needed from time to time, because we still miss them. There is nostalgia, there is hope.
Although The Expendables 3 seems to have broken the mood, I am still looking forward to the Expendables 4.
