Expendables 2 was the peak of this series. Stallone, Arnold, Willis, Norris, JCVD.
If you dont have that throwback action star lineup. It's pointless
Facts 100% agree that to me was the best one out of the series and it peaked at that point the third one wasn't too bad but you can just kinda tell the series needed to end and no more movies should be made beyond the third one
Should've gotten Shane Black to writer too. And it's a shame JCVD and Snipes never got to meet.
Yep 100% agreed.
I actually enjoyed the 3rd one too. Mel Gibson was great. Won't be seeing this one. The charm was seeing all the old action stars
WOW, John Campea walked out at the exact time Sylvester Stallone says, "I'M OUT." What a coincidence!
I sat through the entire experience. Believe me, it gets worse the longer it goes.
😂😂
You deserve a mental health week off from work to recover
I'll ask you the same question I asked John what did y'all expect?🤣🤣🤣
@@flyguy7825 Something that didn't look like a straight to DVD action flick you'd find in the bargain bin at Walmart.
Is it better than Thor love and thunder For Worse the what about Ant-Man part 3
It just needed Steven Seagal as a Villian. There I said it...😂😂😂😂
And his evil plan is to raid out all the cheeseburgers in America and the Expendables have to stop him to save their cultural food.
*Reads in Space Ice's voice* : FUCK YEAH!!!
The first Expendables understood the assignment and played it straight, which is why it still works as a solid throwback action film. Each subsequent instalment didn’t get the memo that 80’s flicks weren’t goofy intentionally, it was the earnestness making them that gives them so much charm.
Second one was the best
Come on, 2nd one is best. You're gonna tell me Commando wasn't goofy on purpose?
What Expendables movies lack is better writers. Back in the day, these guys didn't just have kills, they had killer comebacks and one liners. Arnie was the king.
The Expendables movies are mostly dry. The writers probably didn't grow up with 80s action flicks. They should've gotten Shane Black as a writer.
Yes, I think most of us can agree. Expendables 2 was the best expendables one wasn't too bad they were on to something but it fell flat towards the end. Expendables 3. Again, not bad but too much of the same. Nothing new and from what I understand Expendables for it. They double down hard on the same old s*** just adding really questionable actors and characters
@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom lol, dude Commando is exactly what I think of when I wonder whether or not they were in on the joke, but still feel like they’re cocaine fueled enough to be straight up 😋
Yeah loved expendables 2. Even liked 3 forel Gibson
No lie this movie is so bad my local AMC was half empty to start and by the end there was 3 people left😂😂 and everyone that walked out got a free movie pass.
Whattt!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Well I guess Megan Fox and 50 Cent couldn’t keep ‘em! I remembered the last movie a decade ago was leaked on the internet a month before release! HD quality that everyone watched, back when Mel Gibson was the bad guy🤣 The movie sucked so bad! It bombed on release in the box office. I am not surprised about this trash 🗑️ of a movie. Time to Can this franchise once an for all.
@@supertrendymoneymaker0722 at this point they're just beating a dead horse lol what's super funny is... I went on the app and they cut showings 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my local AMC is only doing 3 showing today
@supertrendymoneymaker0722
Megan Fox was just sexy eye candy throughout the whole flim. Cute dress, lingerie, braless top.
50 cent didn't do anything. I totally forgot about him during the film. He just played his music in the movie.
Iko Uwais would have been a great member of the Expendables team. Instead he was an okay villain. I hated the way he was killed off. It pissed me off. He didn't put up a fight against Statham.
Tony Jaa character was wasted. Not properly equipped or prepared for the mission. A couple of fight scenes with a knife. That's it.
Andy Garcia 😂 worst villain ever. No final standoff.
This movie was about Jason Statham.
The Expendables A Christmas Special 🔪🪓
@@andromedagalaxynebula5751 I feel like Statham was contractually obligated to do the film. It felt like he was kinda phoning it in. Never seem like he wanted to be there lol
@jasonkirby921 he probably read the script and said f#$k this. The plot was weak. Another CIA rogue villian? More nukes?🤦🤦🤦
I wanted to walk out, but I wasn't alone. When they played "pimp" I looked around and thought I was being punked, ha
You either die a good movie or live long enough to become the worst
Sounds like the MCU after endgame
@@animelvr99 Or Star Wars or any horror movie franchise
@@ozzieone16 true. Literally anything Hollywood tries to remake. Tho I will give Jumanji 2 is the exception
Walked out on terminator when they killed john
Sly is in for 20 min and he lives, it's bad!!
This has a very bizarre ending . Basically Stallone used a body to fake his death and he explains to Statham's character that the body was someone they got into a bar fight with earlier . So he murdered someone who beat him fairly in an arm wrestling match . The film ends with them both laughing in front of the charred up arm that was kept as a shrine in the bar .
When they revealed that the tagline for the movie is ‘’They’ll die when they’re dead’’, that alone tells us that we shouldn’t expect anything close to being good.
Yeah, I saw it this morning. It's the worst of the sequels for sure. I loved the first one and everything after was pretty much garbage, part II was cool just for Van Damme tho. 💪
I really think Ex 2 is by far and away the best one out of the series. You can make a case for number one but number two is where at Pete. The third one wasn't too bad but you can just kind of tell it needed to end this one from the looks of the trailer looks completely unnecessarily and pointless
I've seen way worse movies. It was Fast and Furious with guns, and all about family...So fast and furious
“I’ll grab my bag.” 😂🤣😂
The 3rd film was actually FUN to watch in the theaters! This new installment looked abysmal & was worse than I anticipated 😂🚮🚫
Yeah I liked the 3rd one too. Loved the first 3 for what they were, but sounds like this one is a pass
Tony Jaa only exists now to be wasted in bad Hollywood films.
Expendables 5, starring Steven Segal
Watch Segal sink to a new low, by lying in his bed and fighting his opponents with "telekinesis" !
They didn't really kill Stallone off did they,wow this is going bomb so hard.
No they didn’t
The actors are probably relieved they can't do publicity for this movie
Megan fox led the mission just to please feminists
Thanks 4 the heads up.. it looked awful anyways. And fox as leader??? Wth...on geez...is Kathleen Kennedy running this movie😂
it probably started being good at 33 minutes after
John left.
I mean, 50 Cent said "it is the GREATEST movie EVER created!".... So yea it must be pretty shitty hahahaha
1 and 2 i like, 2 i like better,, it was fun seeing Bruce willis and arnie saying eachothers iconic lines,,
3 lost that, by getting newer people in,,
Great to see Wesley snipes, and mel Gibson,, but they replaced them with younger people,,
We want to see old skool action actors doing old skool action things, that what the fun of the first 2,,
When i started watching it i instantly knew it will be garbage because it had megan fox and 50 cent😅
Megan Fox I didn't mind her in transformers 2007
after watching Extraction 2 and John Wick 4, I wanted to throw my shoes during shaky cam action scenes
John Wick just raised the bar very high for action movies in general. I mean, honestly, who had expectations from the Expendables franchise ? A bunch of washed up action stars and had beens in a terrible bunch of films.
@@tonileo9849 lol I mean how many old ass action stars we see still out here in 2023 alone. old ass Harrison Ford & Denzel waddling around there action scenes, old ass Tom cruise & Vin Diesel running around with there umpteenth franchise entries. Hell the main star of Expend4bles (Jason Statham) is younger than all them including Keanu lol "washed up" probably isn't the best description being that he's way more mobile than the star of John Wick lol. Same with Iko Uwais & Tony Jaa. Stallone though most definitely lol
The part where Statham is taking out all the bad guys on the ship in effort to rescue the team is a lot of fun. Especially when he teams up with Tony Jaa. It has good action. Some of it way over the top but it works . The humor could be worked on
Clearly we saw 2 different movies lol
When Jason Statham has to fight a character named "Jumbo Shrimp" to get a ring Stallone lost in a thumb wrestling match I knew I was in for a cinematic crash.
I had stupid fun watching this movie but I'm going to be insufferable and call it "Expend-four-bles" just like people called it "Fant-four-stic".
I saw the trailer and was like…maybe I’ll catch it on Netflix when I’m bored.
Why did statam take megan fox to bed and leave her underwear on?
The trailer was one of the worst trailers I’ve ever seen so props for even seeing it😂
Sly Stallone needed a check.
Yeah the fifth Rambo was no unnecessary. The 4th one was the perfect ending
Correct.
Damn I can’t believe this movie is THAT bad that John had to walk out lmao
😂
It has enough entertainment from what I can see in the trailers that I would stay for the whole movie but make no mistake about it. It's a bad movie. The trailer alone will tell you that.
Can't wait for Expendables 5
I hated this movie and I wanted to walk out but I was on a date and she’s a huge Stallone fan and the only reason I made it through til the end. The walk to my apt is only 2 mins from the theater so I didn’t have to drive after the movie, so I stuck it out
Movies with staring 50 Cent, are never good, literally he has never made a good movie.
What about "Den Of Thieves"?
@@frankjohnson8424that was decent
Holy cow, 12% on RT. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie that low
Bru why tf didn’t Stallone get actual action hero’s like Liam neeson Keanu reeves Tom cruise Denzel Washington why tf did they get 50 cent Megan fox and all these other non action hero’s literally wasted opportunity
agree but maybe there too expensive
They're too expensive and they don't wanna be in this trash
Most of these actors would be expensive and would demand creative control.They would have to change the title to The expensives.
Tom Cruise would cost more than the entire movie budget
I'm pretty sure they looked at the script and said bro. Are you kidding me? You wasted my time. I'm pretty sure none of them would waste their time unless you count the transformer movies for Megan Fox and get richer die. Trying with 50 cent along with a few made for video movies. There is no justification for them to technically be in this movie, but we all know that they are Sly Stallone's friends
That Andy Garcia impression sounded like Bernie Sanders. I was half-expecting free nukes for everyone.
Megan fox's character as a leader was the worst.
It sucked. My friend slept through a lot of it. I just kept looking at Jason Statham, because I love him in action movies, and feeling so sorry for him that he had to be in that pile of trash.
🗑️👈😳😞
I have to see this if it's this bad.
Remember when this franchise was a callback to 80s action films and brought back legends from those times?
Pepperidge Farm remembers…
Exactly now it’s just a shitty Jason Statham movie
There are no more classics left we seen them all in the past three films.
@@loganwithlightsabers3051 Well Statham is pretty much the only one that can actually move an do action fights so it was actually a smart choice s he's the most badass one
Iko barely did anything, he was hardly threatening because Statham kicked his ass too fast which was unrealistic
What were the other 5 movies you walked out on?
I’m curious too 😂
On the off chance any film producers are reading a RUclips comment, hear me out. This is how you fix the series in Expendables 5:
Expendables 3 made a good, solid ending for Schwarzenegger and Jet Li. We don't need them. They're out. What Expendables 3 also did was prove the case for Antonio Banderas and Wesley Snipes. Bring them in! Expendables 4's first big mistake (there were a lot of big mistakes) was cutting Banderas and Snipes. Poor move. Here's what you do: Stallone's team is sent on a mission. Stallone's team comprises of Statham, Megan Fox, Banderas (he's back, baby!), 50 Cent, Lundgren, Couture, Levy Tran and Jacob Scipio. If there was one thing - and only one thing - Expendables 4 got right it was hiring Scipio to play Banderas's son because he totally nails it. What we need is Banderas and Scipio together!!! Let's give them scenes together. They would play so well off each other. Make some silly excuse for why Banderas wasn't in the last movie like he was on a meditation retreat or something like that. Anyway, they’re on this mission and - surprise - he's not the only team sent in! Little does Stallone know, it's a team-up mission between the Expendables and... wait for it... Wesley Snipe's team. Yeah - it turns out between movie 3 and 4, Snipes and Stallone had a falling out. It was a big deal. Snipes left the team and he took with him Glen Powell, Kellan Lutz, Rhonda Rousey, and Victor Ortiz. That’s right - he took all the young bucks from Expendables 3. They’re back! It was weird that they just totally disappeared between 3 and 4 without explanation, plus Powell has much more star power now than he did 10 years ago and people really like him. Anyway, the Expendables are fractured between these two teams and Stallone isn’t happy about it because he sees these five as turning their backs on him and “splitting up the family.” They do the mission, but it goes awry because the two teams can’t work together. The villain, who is either Nicholas Cage, Sigourney Weaver, or Jean Claude Van Damme playing the twin brother of his Expendables 2 character, or an alliance of all three of these actors, gets away with stage 1 of the evil plan. Back in New Orleans, the team reconvenes and gets their act together and they have to overcome whatever problem split up the team years ago. During this time, there are two subplots where 1. Charisma Carpenter’s character is back and she confronts Statham about the fact that they never got married. This will serve as a way to tie up that overtly unresolved thread from Expendables 2, while humanizing Statham in a very real way (not the stupid, silly way from Expendables 4 where he was a bodyguard for some reason). And 2. Lundgren goes to therapy to discuss a very real portrayed alcohol addiction. Again, we can have a chance to humanize someone who has been portrayed as a dumb brute for the last couple of movies and I think there is a lot of potential there. You could even get someone with star power to play the therapist. During this downtime, it might also be nice to have Stallone meet with Mickey Rourke’s character again to get perspective on his team splitting up and all that. It was kind of weird that we never got Rourke’s character again after the first movie and I don’t think it would be a heavy pull to have him give Stallone advice for a scene. Anyway, after those subplots, the mission is on and they have one final shot to stop the villain this time. The two sides come together to resolve their friction and they go and save the day in a big, Expendables style shootout. Boom! Franchise saved.
I saw it last night. Late showing and he's 100% correct. It's a bad movie but it's not walk out bad. It's just much more of the same. Only a lot lamer and a lot dumber. It should have been a parody
She doesn't even go here 😂😂😂
Can’t be worse than the 3rd one, can it?
It is worse than the 3rd film
@@andromedagalaxynebula5751 oh god..
The 3rd one was actually the better one. Better characters no question
And the fact they hired a guy that makes fun of the disabled, the movie gets a down vote for that alone
I share your entire sentiments for this. What a miserable mess
Glad I didn't go see it.
I wished I had walked out too. Every "twist", you saw coming a mile away.😂
Sly Stallone has crushed another Franchise . It’s hard to understand why because put the effort in , the film would of made millions as the other film in franchise have. Oh I must add why hasn’t anyone told 50 cents he cannot act ! Megan Fox see through tee shirt at the end 😂
*It genuinely makes me sad that Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais, two action legends who have made some of the most memorable and incredible action movies ever, were wasted on this film.*
*Ong Bak, The Protector, The Raid, The Raid 2, The Night Comes For Us… those were all excellent action films. This is not.*
It's sad that nobody wants to pick him up to put in a good movie
It's Hurt so much to see what they did to my boy iko uwais he was so so good in the Raid movies
Stallone tried to sell the movie to GenZ in E3. He brought in Megan Fox before the great 80s action queen Cynthia Rothrock. Also what the hell is 50 doing in this movie. Where is Seagal, Michael Beihn, Christopher Lambert, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and all those 80s B action movie stars? Jaa and Iko are new school. Good thing the Rocky franchise was taken from him, he was about to destroy it too. Stallone is trying too hard to pander to GenZ and it wont work.
You think they have the budget to get all those guys on the screen at the same time? Half their budget was probably covering Statham and Stallones salaries
@@MzkZP no oldskool hollywood action star commands a bigger cheque than Arnie, Stallon, Willis. The rest are very affordable. Seagal, JCVD, Norris havent had a legit hit movie in about 30years now
Fine…you’re convinced me. I’ll watch it for you 😂
But Jooohn , you ahve said we cant form an opinion of a movie without watching it all .hahahaha JK
I didn't even know this movie existed until I saw this video.
Don't hold back John..
It kinda missed the whole point of the first two films which is bringing back old action stars from the past and celebrating their careers. You can have some young folk joining the crew but they shouldn't overshadow the established veterans. Megan Fox in an action film? REALLY? Jennifer's Body was the only film I liked from her. Although bringing in Tony Jaa and Iko Kuwais (The Raid Guy) was a definite positive I can give the film.
John lasted 32 minutes ?
Now that’s a boss.
The movie is about as bad as your sponsor placement
I also walked out
@@blacksamurai-irs7rw nope I got a refund but nice try being a snarky prick
This is what happens when u put big stars in 1 movie, bcuz they all want the spotlight, this movie should've introduced the expendables members families , and had them kidknapped , that story would've been better, way better
when free real estate is announced 0:01
I'm still going to see it. I don't care. Respectfully... every has their own opinion
One question....why? 3 Expendables movies weren't enough? Sylvester Stallone just needs to stop with this franchise. Nope, I have no intention of seeing this waste of film.
Well given what John said the ending of the movie looks like we're going to get at least one more with Megan Fox as the leader of the team!!
@@EddieHenderson92 Oh I agree dead in the water
Sorry the worst movie of the year is Meg😅
nope. That belongs to Beau is afraid
Expendables 5 starring Jake Paul 😂😂😂😂
And Dylan Mulvaney lol😅
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised lol Jfc
We need a movie starring Steven Seagal as the main villain, and Jake & Logan Paul as his henchmen.
Straight to video and straight to the top of the Razzies.
People go to school to learn how to make movies like this
the movie was trash and save your money to go watch Saw X
I would watch John and the crew do a Spoiler talk about everything wrong with the movie🤣 the movie is so bad that you just have to see it so you can laugh at it
I 100% agree. There was nothing good about this movie, maybe for except 2 min of Jason Statham fighting
I had Megan Fox down REALLY bad.
It gets good after the 34th minute😆
The raid, hands down one of the best modern action movies going!
Why is this a surprise? The trailers are absolutely atrocious
Im one to watch anything, but this is possibly the worst movie I've ever watched it's terrible and only 15 mins in. It's overly cringe aswell terrible CGI. But Megan Foxx is fit
Take back what I said 4/10 not a 1/10, some scenes were good like the Boat scene.
Thank you! Great show/review
First Indy, then Mission Impossible and now this, famous movie franchises are dying out
I can understand not liking this or Indiana Jones but Mission Impossible was pretty damn good. I wouldn't say the best of the franchise but definitely up there.
For me I liked it, I’ll admit that it is my least favorite out of the franchise, but I don’t really understand why people are hating on it
I don't know why people like it. It just wasn't like the first 3. It wasn't fun to watch. Too Christmas-centric. Action was stale, dialogue and plot were grating at times.
@@crichton397 I liked Christmas as the main character this time around, for me I found it to be fun, not as fun as the rest but still fun, I do agree with you on the dialog tho
Absolutely terrible. It’s like they tried to make it as bad as possible
Wow strong words! Wonder what’s better, “The Roommate” or this one.
*Sly should get the cast of Young Guns for The Expendables 5*
Jaja the cowboys version
Im SHOCKED the movie with the horrible trailer is horrible!
I beg to differ.
It's an AMAZING MOVIE!
For visual arts students. 😊
All the no-no's of movie making.
😂
It was definitely the worst of all of them and I was honestly hoping they actually did kill Barney at the beginning because I don’t think there’s any reason to continue the franchise
According to wikipedia Barney faked his death after all :D
Most of this review perfectly describes my experience on that 2021 excuse for a MK movie, and it's sad because they have Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais in it, both who I think woud make perfect MK characters, Reptile and Mavado. Did they at least have a decent fight scene?
It was terrible. They missed a opportunity to make great fighting but they did nothing. It was a terrible film
The game itself is also a movie now so thankfully we do have something worthwhile.
@@dustinfoto You mean all tbe cutscenes in the games on YT?
@@artofmartialcinemaamc5334 The cutscenes from the newest release are shot like a movie so it feels very much like one with gameplay thrown in there. Honestly pretty good and doesnt take itself too seriously.
Thirty-two minutes. It's a strange feeling when you know that early in a film that you flat out hate it. You're either sickened beyond belief or laughing to yourself hysterically. In either instance the emotional investment in your time spent is out the window.
I walked out of solo within 15 minutes
Was that when he got his name?
Only reason I lasted throughout Rise of Skywalker was because my date and I spent the movie on the back row kissing. I tuned out after 15 minutes or so
It's supremely ironic that Dumb Money isn't the dumbest movie this weekend.
Oh shit ! I gotta see it 😂😂😂😂😂
Expect another Razzie awards for Sylvester Stallone
Damn. No wonder 3/4 of the previous cast didn’t return for this
Need to see a Ryan George Pitch Meeting on this ASAP
