To be honest, there's very little new in this formulaic action adventure. It's the usual old who has got the launch codes mystery that sees Sly Stallone's "Barney" recruit his best mate "Christmas" (Jason Statham) and their lethal gang of expendables to thwart the ambitions of an unknown criminal mastermind who is hoping to arm a boat load of nuclear missiles and start WWIII. Thing is, tragedy strikes very early on in the film and "Christmas" is taken off the team that is sent to avenge that. Is he staying home to fester? Of course not, and lucky too - for soon he is trying to free his pals from captivity before all hell breaks loose. Plenty of pyrotechnics, a bit of contrived sexual chemistry (with Megan Fox's "Gina") and loads of bullets and missiles flying around keep the film moving along well enough, but the story is the thinnest of the thin; the baddie's identity is hardly a challenge to discover nor is the twist in the tale at the end remotely unexpected. Good to see that the acting colossus that is Dolph Lundgren is still getting on screen nowadays, but otherwise this really is unremarkable stuff that even the usually charismatic Statham can't really sustain.

A B grade action flick masquerading as a A list title. That's my reaction to Expendables 4. Yes, its a tired formula but at least previous Expendable films in this cheesy action franchise, showed a little genuine enthusiasm and included a cast of well worn but also well known, action stars. By contrast, the latest flick is easily forgettable with a good number of cast members, I've never heard of or seen on screen, infrequently. In summary, looks and behaves like a decidedly B grade action film with a sparse sprinkling of A grade action talent. Feels too, likes its going through the motions but not really delivering, if that makes sense.

I love all 3 parts before this 3rd class movie. The story is classic not bad not good for this type of movies and lots of actors from the previous movies are missing, but they bring us Megan Fox and ruin everything. I hope that this will last movie in this series.

<em>'Expend4bles'</em> is a mixed bag. I was never entertained, though I was also never all that bored - odd. I think it's ever so slightly watchable because of those who are in it, given they all fit their roles to the T. However, I can't class it as anything 'good' because the sole job of these films is to be entertaining - and this just isn't, even if I wasn't necessarily craving the end credits. It's all simply rather dull. Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone (who is strangely, given he is the series' star, sidelined) are a solid pairing, while Megan Fox does quite well throughout - her best performance that I've seen, admittedly I haven't yet checked out anything with her in a lead role; <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/transformers/" rel="nofollow">Transformers</a>'</em> (meh) aside. Andy García, meanwhile, is alright, the best of the rest if I was forced to pick one of 'em. I'm kinda surprised this franchise even got a fourth entry, since its release I kept forgetting it even existed... and sadly, post-watch, I don't see that changing. Weakest of the tetralogy, for me.

I was not impressed by this addition to The Expendables series directed by Scott Waugh. This might be the very last one since the entire hook of these movies is a homage to old skool action stars from the decades 80s and 90s kicking ass in a new type of role lead by Syvester Stallone. Jason Statham basically takes over this entire movie. His fighting style is ruthless and filled with snarky comments for almost every kill. There really isn't much for the other actors to do in this movie. I wouldn't say skip this movie because it does deliver loads of actions. But if you are a fan of the series from the beginning, then you probably won't like this movie compared to the previous ones. I give this 2/5 stars
