very good and decent action movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2011)

When i first heard of this movie, was at comic con. At the time ill admit, i didn't think much of it. i knew sylvester is a fantastic actor and director, but i didn't imagine this movie being the best or greatest. as it turns out, it exceeded my expectations. the cast of the team is in my opinion a very nice bunch. I really enjoyed watching the likes of, Sylvester, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Terry Crews. Everyone else, ill be honest, i didn't know till the movie. I really loved the small cameos Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. i actually counted, Arnold only came out for two minutes, and Bruce three. they gave bruce an extra mintue. Mickey Rourke was also a fantastic addition to the movie, my only regret is that i wanted to see him in action. Seeing his great movies like the wrestler, and Iron man 2, i was really wanting to see more of him in this kind of movie. Still overall, this movie delivers, the action is every, they do fill in small spaces for the storyline, which in my opinion, was not needed. I could have walked in their and seen just the action and still enjoyed the small chats in between and slap jokes. Still, i guess it gave the characters a bit of definition. i think the only one who really got to have that was Jason though, everyone else was mostly secondary. In any case, the reason i give this movie a 9 overall is because, it was not perfect. im hoping in the sequel they will add more actors, less wrestlers. I honestly think its rare when they make good actors. they are great for the action scenes, but when you try to give them humanity, it does not really work out in these kind of movies. But its a great movie to watch, i personally can watch it a bunch of times and not get tired of it. So if your a fan of sylvester, this delivers. if you just like plain action movies, it delivers. If you want a movie with a good story, your better off looking elsewhere.
