Expend4bles Review: An Explosive Yet Heavily Flawed Sequel

Director Scott Waugh's Expend4bles, the fourth installment in the action-packed Expendables franchise, reunites an ensemble cast of action heroes from yesteryears with a few new faces. While it delivers its fair share of high-octane thrills and nostalgic moments, the film ultimately falls short of recapturing the magic that made the earlier entries in the series so beloved. It's also the kind of movie that makes you can't help but wonder why it was necessary. Did anybody out there actually desperately want a fourth Expendables movie? It's heavily unlikely, much like how it's heavily unlikely that most moviegoers will be entertained by this film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhlaBO-SwVE The plot follows the aging mercenaries of The Expendables as they embark on a mission to Libya to prevent a rogue mercenary named Rahmat from obtaining nuclear warheads. This mission takes them on a globe-trotting adventure filled with explosive set pieces and betrayals, culminating in a showdown that could ignite World War III. The premise holds some potential to be fair, but the execution leaves much to be desired. The Good:   One of the film's strengths is its cast, which includes action icons like Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture reprising their roles. Their chemistry and camaraderie, built over the previous films, shine through in their interactions. However, the addition of Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy García brings a mixed bag of performances. While some newcomers add depth and energy to the ensemble, others feel underutilized and fail to make a lasting impression. The opening sequence sets the tone for the film's action. It's a spectacle of destruction and chaos, showcasing the team's combat skills and their resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Yet, this exhilarating start is undercut by an unexpected twist, which while unexpected, leaves a sense of emptiness. Of course, I won't be getting into what happens here for spoiler reasons, but it will surely make a lot of viewers scratch their heads in utter bewilderment. It's the kind of twist that feels like it only happened for shock value rather than for the purpose of telling a strong story. Yes, nobody goes to an Expendables movie for its storytelling, but there should still be some sense of competence on display. The Bad: The narrative stumbles further as the film introduces Gina, Barney's former lover, played by Megan Fox, and Lash, portrayed by Levy Tran, into the team. While the idea of female operatives joining The Expendables is commendable, the execution feels forced and fails to fully integrate them into the team dynamics. Ocelot's crazy villainous plan is a familiar action movie trope, and Expend4bles does little to offer a fresh take on it. The climax is a mishmash of gunfire, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat, which, while entertaining, lacks the creativity and finesse seen in previous films. The action sequences, though well-choreographed, often feel repetitive and uninspired. Also, the ending's twist, while intended to be a triumphant moment, comes across as somewhat predictable and clichéd. Overall: Expend4bles attempts to recapture the magic of its predecessors but ultimately falls short due to a convoluted plot, underdeveloped characters, and uninspired action sequences. While it offers some nostalgic moments and entertaining moments, it lacks the heart and coherence that made the earlier films in the franchise so memorable. Fans of the series may find enough to enjoy, but newcomers are likely to be left wanting more. At the end of the day, it's yet another Expendables movie. Let's just hope that they finally decide to bury the hatchet here, because this fourth film is definitely a reminder of why the franchise was dead for many, many years. Read the full article

I’ve been complaining a lot about the lack of Caribbean -- specifically Guyanese -- faceclaims in the rpc. So, I figured I’d take matters into my own hands. 

[ HERE ] you’ll find gifs of Jacob Scipio in Bad Boys for Life. Jacob is a British actor of Guyanese descent and was born in 1993, so please bear that in mind when casting and using him. My rules have been updated, so please note that these gifs may not be used in any way that may be perceived as harmful (to rp as the person themself, to rp such topics as incest, assault, etc). In addition, while these gifs may be edited into icons without first seeking permission, please do not whitewash the fc. I ask that you use courtesy for the time that I’ve put into creating this and the fc themself when using these. Regarding triggers: I’ve done my best though to minimize any triggering content. That being said: tw guns, blood, fire. Enjoy.

Hello cat and mouse! I was wondering if you guys had any media (TV shows, games movies, etc.) you'd like to see more static icons of? You don't seem to reblog too many!

Hey anon! Thank you so much for asking! Sadly people don't seem to make 100px or larger static icons as much anymore. Please note that I'm mainly going to be focusing on casts with people of colour, disabled folk and/or queer folk. They don't have to be from said roles but icons in general for any of these people / casts would be absolutely amazing.

This is a very long list but please don't feel pressured to do these!

Mortal Kombat cast, Lewis Tan who has already been iconed but more the merrier which also applies to everyone I've noted has icon resources already!

Blood Quantum cast!

Sweet Home cast!

The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass cast because some of the cast carries over! Kate Siegel has already been iconed in Hill House as has Rahul Kohli in Midnight Mass.

Also please excuse anyone that was a minor at time of filming!

Bad Boys For Life Review

“Ride Together. Die Together.”

To be completely honest with you, I wasn’t really looking forward to this movie. I had fond enough memories of the first two movies but they were never movies that would ever land on my favorites list. Plus, it’s been 17 years since the last Bad Boys movie. You can fit an entire Gen-X youth in the gap between Bad Boys II and Bad Boys For Life, and in most cases that’s a sign for concern. Leaving that much space between sequels allows for both the social landscape and the culture of filmmaking to shift entirely, and the Micheal Bay helmed series didn’t seem like the type of franchise to evolve with the times. So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when Bad Boys For Life managed to rekindle what made the first 2 hits while bringing the franchise into the future organically.

The movie wisely follows a real life time line and picks up 17 years after Bad Boys II on the eve of Mike & Marcus’ 25 year anniversary with the force. Marcus’ daughter’s just had a child which has him considering hanging up the badge to be a full time grandfather - much to Mike’s chagrin - but before they can argue about it Mike gets shot in an assassination attempt. As some old ghosts from Mike’s past turn up for revenge; the Bad Boys are forced to try and turn back the inevitable tide of time and ride once more. Will & Martin have their act down to a science at this point and despite over a decade of distance, they’re able to recapture that lightning in the bottle with ease. Along for the ride is “AMMO”, a new police task force of sexy 20-somethings lead by Mike’s old flame and current police lieutenant; Rita (played by Mexican actress Paola Núñez). These whippersnappers represent the future (not just for law enforcement but most likely the franchise at large) and thankfully they’re legitimately refreshing additions to the cast that I’d love to see more of in the future (Alexander Ludwig & Charles Melton especially stand out). On the other side of things Kate del Castillo and Jacob Scipio make for intriguing foils for the protagonists; with Jacob especially giving a star-making performance. Behind the camera Belgian film duo Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah make one hell of an impression in their American debut. They do a fantastic job emulating Michael Bay’s explosive style while also integrating some new age flair to the proceedings. Together with their cinematographer, Robrecht Heyvaert, they crafted quite possibly the best action set pieces in the series; especially towards the third act of the film where they get truly creative with the camera.

The movie’s not without its’ flaws of course. Despite the subject matter being a bit heavier than usual, most of the exploration is disappointingly surface level; Marcus’ character arc ends up not really going anywhere and Vanessa Hudgens’ character unfortunately wasn’t given as much defining character traits as her teammates. There are other nitpicks that I could volley but I’d rather focus on the positive here. Ultimately Bad Boys For Life turned out to be a genuinely propulsive & fun ride in a month where movies generally go to die. You can now put Bad Boys For Life in the same conversation as Tron Legacy & Mad Max: Fury Road as long gestating sequels to iconic properties that not only stick the landing, but improve the franchise. Never thought I’d say this...but bring on Bad Boys 4!

Rating: 3.5/5
