(Laughter and applause in the room)

Much has been for nearly a year of" The Expendables "the movie that Sylvester Stallone wants to review / raise / pay homage style film known as "action", which took final shape after the transformation suffered during the 70 American action film, which left the western as a genre to gradually passed police and street portraits, which Stallone himself would part with the wonderful "The Nighthawks", and finally in 82 eclosionaría in the "action" thanks to a prescient movie title: "Frist Blood" with Sylvester Stallone Rambo. Therefore

considering that the film that formed the basis of "action" as we know it was played by John Rambo, it is not unusual for this nostalgic and unbiased review Stallone has called the film "The Expendables" , ie expendable, an allusion to a dialogue of Rambo 2, a film which was the final formula between lightness and schematic plot, and that Expendables owes much of its inspiration:

"Expendable is, when you are invited to a party . You are not going, but nobody notices. "

raw
From these principles the "action" evolved among other reasons because names such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis were added to the genre sense of humor and violence "cartoon" (very much in the movie that concerns us ) in pursuit of entertainment popping and survival of imitators / substitutes that would create the so-called "hitplotation" in the shadow of these actors / icons, which also appear briefly in the film in a scene that brings them together for the first time on screen, and where all are released Shiv double meaning on their careers, and was greeted with laughter and applause in the room where I saw the film.

Laughter, on the other hand continuous projection, because after the transcendence and the violence of John Rambo, which is Expendables most surprising lightness and messing with the intended, something that helps the touch " cartoon "violence, but what about the work of George Pan Cosmatos that Sam Peckinpah.


Although I must admit that after Stallone's promises to shoot the film in the old style with little CGI I have been craving excessive computer-generated effects, such as the disastrous digital sky we see in the opening scene of the film, scene dressed with a computer generated laser sight glasses giving creeps to see them, or all the blood of the film, the more pixels than Mortal Kombat.


Still, with all the best in the film are any and all of the action scenes, assembled in the mess, without the classicism of Rambo IV, all in pursuit of entertainment and make 100 minutes of film will they fly between digital and real explosions (Great in the port) confusing melee fights and jokes that range from rough to rougher yet ("I'll put your ass that fucking Fu Man Chu mustache), and as I said are received laughter and applause for the most unbiased of the public who knows what has come to see, a pimp exaggerated and fun that could have been fully released in the late eighties early 90's, as the film is anything but an exercise metalinguistic on action films of the 80, but pure action film as was done at that time, without shame, shameless commercial vocation, and especially with a script that fits on a napkin in fact I still wonder how "The Expendables" make it to the wrong island and into its strength in just one change of plane without passing through customs or anything, but that does not matter when the story has a villain girl in trouble, the colleague that you saved at the last minute, crashing cars, things exploding, lapidary phrase, "You should not leave me girl, Cause I'm worth it" and Stallone's direction going from the sublime, the camera rotates ground before a shoot or any part of the chase at the port, absolutely regrettable, the fixed while Mickey Rourke gives his speech, or scene based on the reflection of the knife Don Lundgren.


rejoicing among the catalog of topics, blood shot and jokes are also a lot of inevitable references to action movies, the pick-up that appears first cousin Marion Cobretti car, the engine hung story nothing in the shop that reminds Locked, the jokes in between Stather and Stallone in the purest style Tango and Cash, Eric Roberts revealed as Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man, Rambo 3 type torture Barney and Sandra, Terry machinegun Crews leaving nothing to "impatient" Predator and this time has a still more explicit sexual nature "you will see what happens when this arrives orgasm "...

According to published estimates that its recovery has been approximately 35 million alone on the weekend of its release but will have to wait a bit to see how much money is bet Stallone and Producer Avi Leder which has cost about $ 80 million advertising telling the same budget as the Agora Amenábar amassed only 37 worldwide and still intends to sell as a success in English cinema.

In view of the data would not be surprising that the film Sly Barrea surpassing the 120 million, so almost certainly be sequel, something that I'm glad it's 100 minutes I did very short because I felt like much more, despite the major flaws of the film, that setup the whole milk of action scenes that we can not taste it at its best the art of Austin and Couture, and excess computer effects, defects that are a little less enjoyable, the best entertainment of the year.

I'm looking forward to seeing in Bluray.
