The greatest let down in Movie History

Rating: 2/10 (26 August 2010)

I can believe that the average person liked this movie, but at least tell me the critics didn't like it.
THIS MOVIE SUCKED!
Waited for this movie to come for a year, and it was the biggest let down in the history of movies. I thought there were better action stars in this movie, but when you look at it, you've got Stallone, Lundgren, and Statham. Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Arnold, don't do a damn thing. Mickey Rourke has one speech, and that's pretty much the only dialogue in this movie. Jet Li wasn't funny, I don't care what your friends say, I could barely understand what he was saying as it was. Terry Crews as big as he may be, he just doesn't seem right in action movies, but he's an amazing actor and he was pretty believable in Gamer and in this movie he's likable, and could have been a great character but the movie gives you no background on him and you only see him at the beginning and end of the movie along with Randy Couture. The movie focuses on Stallone mostly, along with Jason Statham. Now the scene with Jason Statham beating up his girlfriends replacement boyfriend could have been great, but it was so misused. You see the same thing used in so many movies, but it's used well and it's always likable. In this movie no, it's garbage. Statham finds his girlfriend with another man, so he leaves all sad and disheartened he comes back a few scenes later to see shes got a black eye, so he goes to beat up this guy, and ends up whooping his *ss along with a couple other guys. It's something you see time and time again, but in this movie it's done without any emotion without any build up, its so just put in there, that it has no effect. Other movies would have built up a scene like that through the whole movie, this one just throws it in there through a couple of scenes, and then we never see Statham with his girlfriend again.
Now I know you watch an action movie for action, but this was some of the worst action I've ever seen. So there were some explosions, WHOOPIE! explosions are boring, I can go in my backyard and light off M80's if I want to see explosions, I want action, people being shot, people in sword fights, people fist fighting. And yes there is fist fights and shooting, but none of it is enjoyable. Whoever edited this movie together needs to be shot, I mean maybe it was the directors fault either way. There are so many cuts in the action scene that you can't tell what the heck is going on. Jet Li versus Dolph Lundgren, yah big guy versus small guy that's really original, I mean I've definitely never seen that before. There is one good action scene, but it's really short. That is when Terry Crews comes through with his AA12 with a drum mag and starts blowing people apart. A bit unrealistic but very satisfying. That's it.
The rest of the movie consists of a lot of scenes that involve no action and are boring as all hell. And a couple of knife throwing contests that are cheesier than the lasagna i had last night.
See the movie, but don't expect much out of a killer cast. The movie is dry and dull, I expected the action movie of a lifetime and was given an action movie that was below average. It's seriously an epic fail for something that had great potential.
