Slightly Higher Expectations = Disappointing Film

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2010)

I went in to this film expecting a massacre of blood, guts, and hilarity but what I got in return was some trickles of blood, some guts, and a few chuckles. I was disappointed in this film because of the lack of violence and the poor CGI that was just plain awful at times (ie. Fire, Buildings crumbling, etc). I was expecting a better version of the last Rambo but it was definitely not an improvement. The cast, as stellar as it is, worked more as supporting character where as Stallone and Statham acted as the main characters of the film. Overall, this film has a lack of action, poor CGI at times and not enough blood and gore that graced our eyes in Rambo. And as for the plot, I could care less because I was more focused on the violence of the film. A solid 7.5 is generous for a film that missed the mark.
