Saw this last Thursday and OMFG it was awesome, the action is brilliant, the all star cast is fantastic, to those who dish the story it actually does a very good job of exploring multiple characters backgrounds and life, we see Christmas's relationship with Charisma, we hear Rourke tell his backstory, we see the downfall of Dolph, plus the main story of being tricked by the CIA into toppling the puppet dictator of a rogue CIA agent is pretty cool.
The action is awesome, The cast is awesome, however the are three faults I found with it:
1: The CG effects, oh...my...god, did they get the guys from Mega shark vs Giant Octopus in to do them? the blood splatter from Stallone's knife to the throat looked like it had been lifted from Resident Evil 2, the fire "burning" Austin when he died was super lame and the exploding mansion at the end was sub 1980's standards for exploding buildings
2: Jet Li Vs Gary Daniels (moustache guy) for those who didn't recognise him Gary is one of the most successful British martial artists ever, and he's the guy dressed as Ken in that Jackie Chan Street Fighter clip from City Hunter you used to find all over the net, I was looking forward to this inevitable showdown and it really saddened me it was ruined by another expendable getting involved (btw for those of you who don't think Dolph could take Jet down in real life watch his movie where he fights Bruce Lees son, he is pretty damn good)
3: Terry Crews didnt make a reference to the P-P-P-Power of that shotgun, missed opertunity for a legendary one liner
Apart from that awesome movie, my fav of the year
