STATHAM solely saves the film from being unwatchable!!!
12 February 2024
I've enjoyed The Expendables films so far, the first two being the best, & part 3 being fairly good but we really didn't need a new younger team.

Anyway the really BAD with Expendables 4 is the whole damn THING!!!

IF it wasn't for the always great Jason Statham Expendables 4 would be unwatchable!!!

Statham was always the most likeable of all the Expendables & was always my favourite so the one good thing this scrappy franchise film did was focus on Statham's Christmas character for a majority of the movie.

Statham was great on screen once again & seemed to be the ONLY actor giving a damn about his character or giving an little bit of depth.

When Barney (Stallone) was "Killed" off no one gave a damn, none of The Expendables really cared that their long time friend & leader had died, the whole thing was emotionless?

ONLY Statham seemed to really be bothered by his buddies death.

Most of the Expendables from the previous films are missing?

We got an annoying & pointless new Expendable that is supposed to be the son of Banderas's non-stop talking character from part 3. He's a terrible new addition & adds NOTHING.

The worst actress in cinema history Megan Fox joins the team & is ONLY here because some people think she's hot but she isn't unless you like really orange looking Aliens.

The Awesome addition of rapper actor 50 Cent is completely wasted & does nothing. 50 Cent was so perfect for the franchise & they wasted him? He should've Been the main new focus & a new team member but nope, they cared for about the sickly horrendous actress Megan Fox!!! Gutted for 50

The villain is Iko Uwais & he's good for the little he has but is wasted. Tony Jaa is decent for the little he has to do but again is wasted.

Dolph Lundgren looked fed-up & they gave him a scraggy scarecrow wig? Bizarre!!!!

This was not a well directed film.

Expendables 4 felt weird & so Bizarre, thankfully Statham was there to completely save the film. Statham singlehandedly saved Expendables 4.

The legendary Andy Garcia is totally wasted.

The cinematography or c.g.i looks like a cheap video game.

JASON STATHAM kept me watching & his scenes are good but the dialogue is so bad & forced, there is no chemistry except the little bits with Statham & Stallone.

I can't hate the film because there's bits & pieces that are good or fun, i liked the bit where Statham beats down a cocky YouTube'er brat & the whole big boat main action scenes where Statham is there to rescue his crappy team is very good. This movie was made with today's stupid culture in mind as we get (as said) cocky YouTube idiots & we get silly people at a party all sucking on pathetic Vapes & we get a scene where the terrible Megan Fox just gets home from the gym, all stuff that's totally the "now" that's fashionable & is our stupid culture craze. The Gym, Vapes & YouTube influencer lol its all here in this bizarre mess of an action film.

Thank goodness for the dependable Expendable STATHAM!!!
