<p>Lionsgate and Millennium's latest installment in the action-packed Expendables series, Expendables 4, stylised as Expend4bles, made its way to theaters with a modest $750,000 in Thursday night previews, signaling what appears to be a disappointing launch for the franchise. The figures were reported by The Hollywood Reporter.</p>

<p>This highly anticipated film, sporting a hefty $100 million budget, had initially aimed for an opening weekend gross in the $15 million to $17 million range. However, early figures indicate that the movie is likely to fall short of these projections, with estimated earnings currently hovering in the $8 million to $10 million bracket.</p>

<p>Reuniting iconic action stars Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, alongside fan-favorites Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture, '<em>Expendables 4</em>' promises another adrenaline-pumping adventure. The official synopsis teases, "The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give 'new blood' a whole new meaning." Joining the veteran cast are fresh faces, including Megan Fox, 50 Cent, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia.</p>

<p>Nearly a decade has passed since the last Expendables film graced the silver screen. The previous three installments, released in 2010, 2012, and 2014, collectively garnered an impressive $800 million at the global box office. The 2014 entry, the most recent release in the series, debuted with $15.8 million in its opening weekend and went on to amass a total of $214 million worldwide. The original 2010 film opened with $34.8 million, while the 2012 sequel bowed with $28.5 million.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, critical reception for <em>Expendables 4</em> has been far from stellar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>WION's review read, "While the action sequences do offer occasional relief from the chaos, they can't entirely salvage the film. Explosions and gunfights abound, but they often get lost in a sea of gratuitous violence that pushes the boundaries of taste. It's as if the filmmakers were trying to see just how far they could stretch the limits of shock, losing sight of the story and character development in the process."<br />

Expend4bles disappoints in Thursday night previews with modest $750k earnings: A box office bomb?

<p><strong><em>Expend4bles </em>movie review: </strong>I've never been particularly enamoured with the <em>Expendables </em>movies, but I must admit there's something oddly comforting about their presence in our cinematic landscape. They offer a window into a bygone era of gleefully over-the-top, nostalgia-driven action flicks, like a treasure chest of cheesy one-liners and explosive showdowns from the '80s and '90s. With this in mind, I approached <em>Expend4bles</em>, the fourth instalment in Sylvester Stallone's action-hero extravaganza, with a mix of curiosity and hope, seeking that familiar adrenaline-fueled escapism. Little did I know that what awaited me would be more disillusionment than excitement.</p>

<p>The film kicks off with a promising premise, as the titular team of mercenaries is dispatched to Libya on a mission to thwart the theft of nuclear warheads by the enigmatic Ocelot, a shadowy antagonist with world-altering ambitions. It's a classic action setup, seemingly tailor-made for delivering explosive set pieces and witty one-liners that should crackle with humour. Unfortunately, the plot quickly swerves off course, like a GPS navigating a detour into the Bermuda Triangle, and the one-liners turn out to be more cringe-worthy than clever.</p>

<p>One of <em>Expend4bles</em>' most glaring missteps is its baffling reliance on lacklustre visual effects. It's as if the filmmakers decided to raid the bargain bin for special effects, opting for green screens and CGI that leave action sequences looking like they belong in a budget video game. Car chases become pixelated chaos, and characters appear to be trapped in a glitch-ridden virtual world.</p>

<p>As for the performances, even the star-studded cast can't rescue this sinking ship. Jason Statham, a magnet of charisma in his own right, is saddled with dialogue that feels like it was pieced together during a lunch break. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's presence seems more like an attempt at stunt casting than a genuine addition to the ensemble.</p>

<p>Yet, amid the mediocrity, a few shining moments emerge. Megan Fox and Iko Uwais rise above the script's limitations with engaging performances. Fox injects some much-needed charisma into the proceedings, despite starting off as a rather one-dimensional "crazy lady" stereotype. Uwais, a martial arts master, dazzles with choreography that's as breathtaking as it is acrobatic.&nbsp;Tony Jaa also impresses.</p>

<p>Still, these bright spots are like distant stars in a cinematic galaxy filled with dark matter. The script appears more interested in crass humour and shock value than in delivering a compelling story. The one-liners that should have been sharp and memorable feel like they were recycled from a '90s action movie reject bin.</p>

<p>In the end, <em>Expend4bles </em>leaves me with mixed feelings.

Expend4bles movie review: Sylvester Stallone's film is more fizzle than sizzle

<p>The megalodon, the biggest shark that ever lived, is back, and this time it brought backup.</p>

<p>In <em>Meg 2: The Trench</em>, the ocean becomes a playground of awe and terror, where jaws drop and ancient creatures rule. Unleashing an unrelenting torrent of action and B-movie mayhem, this American-Chinese co-production casts aside caution, embracing the wild and chaotic with sheer abandon. It's undeniably glorious and utterly entertaining, as long as you're willing to go along for the thrilling ride and not question the logic too much. Picking up where its predecessor left off, the film addresses the criticisms and boldly plunges into uncharted waters. Director Ben Wheatley leads the charge with unapologetic enthusiasm, steering this rollercoaster with an insatiable appetite for spectacle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The result is a movie that gleefully flings itself into one electrifying set piece after another, taking you on a journey you won't soon forget.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Wheatley, and the writers Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, and Erich Hoeber, do not even pretend that they are making an intricate, thought-provoking masterpiece. Instead, the movie revels in its own delightful absurdity. It is alive with unapologetic self-awareness and camp, serving up moments that wink at the audience and invite you to let go of reality, fully immersing yourself in the adrenaline-fuelled fun.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dG91B3hHyY4" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<h2><strong>What is <em>Meg 2: The Trench</em> about?</strong></h2>

<p>Jason Statham and Wu Jing lead a research team on a daring dive into the ocean's unexplored depths. However, their mission takes a perilous turn when they confront a malevolent mining operation, leading to a high-stakes battle for survival. With enormous megalodons and ruthless environmental plunderers in their path, they must <span jsslot=""><span data-dobid="hdw">outmanoeuvre</span></span> their adversaries in a race against time.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong><em>Meg 2: The Trench </em>taps into the horror of the unknown like its predecessor</strong></h2>

<p>I love <em>Meg </em>movies (yes, I adored the first one as well) because they are successful in evoking the sheer horror of the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. There is no place in the world even remotely as terrifying as the deep sea. The uncharted waters become a haunting backdrop, shrouded in darkness and secrecy, where unimaginable creatures and ancient terrors lurk. The fear of the unseen looms large, as every moment brings the possibility of encountering something never before witnessed by human eyes. While there may not be megalodons, the creatures that inhabit these waters appear as though they have sprung from the depths of our worst nightmares.</p>

<h2><strong>Logic is not a strong point of <em>Meg 2: The Trench&nbsp;</em>— and that's okay</strong></h2>

<p>But again, here's the catch (heh) — don't tread too deeply into the waters of overthinking. The plot may be as murky as the ocean depths, and character development might float by like a shipwrecked plank. Even the humour is something of a hit-and-miss. But the charismatic cast, led by Statham (returning as Jonas Taylor), sells it. Yet, that's not the point of this escapade. The heart of <em>Meg 2: The Trench</em> lies in the pursuit of unbridled entertainment and the thrill of being immersed in an aquatic carnival of chaos.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JujTYiDlu7g" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<h2>Expect think pieces as to how <em>Meg 2: The Trench </em>is a sign of devolution of quality in modern cinema</h2>

<p>I am already dreading a flurry of think pieces and critiques flooding the internet in the wake of the film's release, dissecting the state of modern blockbusters and questioning whether their quality is on the decline. Critics will likely raise concerns about the prevalence of CGI-driven spectacles and a perceived lack of depth in storytelling. All of which is true, to an extent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But people forget B-movies and unabashed escapism have their rightful place in cinema. Films like <em>Meg 2: The Trench</em> offer a break from reality, tapping into a primal desire for excitement and adventure. They cater to an audience seeking pure entertainment and a break from the drab reality. There is a certain charm in such B-movies and the movie evoked nostalgic memories of classic aquatic horror movies of the last century.</p>

<p>The thing is, if somebody bought tickets to this movie, they came to see a fun giant shark movie. And a fun giant shark movie is what they are going to get in <em>Meg 2: The Trench.</em> There is a climactic scene where Statham takes on the megs one by one all by his lonesome. It's glorious.</p>

Director Ben Wheatley leads the charge with unapologetic enthusiasm, steering this rollercoaster with an insatiable appetite for spectacle. The result is a movie that gleefully flings itself into one electrifying set piece after another, taking you on a journey you won't soon forget. Wheatley, and the writers Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, and Erich Hoeber, do not even pretend that they are making an intricate, thought-provoking masterpiece. Instead, the movie revels in its own delightful absurdity. It is alive with unapologetic self-awareness and camp, serving up moments that wink at the audience and invite you to let go of reality, fully immersing yourself in the adrenaline-fuelled fun. What is Meg 2: The Trench about? Jason Statham and Wu Jing lead a research team on a daring dive into the ocean's unexplored depths. However, their mission takes a perilous turn when they confront a malevolent mining operation, leading to a high-stakes battle for survival. With enormous megalodons and ruthless environmental plunderers in their path, they must outmanoeuvre their adversaries in a race against time. Meg 2: The Trench taps into the horror of the unknown like its predecessor I love Meg movies (yes, I adored the first one as well) because they are successful in evoking the sheer horror of the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. There is no place in the world even remotely as terrifying as the deep sea. The uncharted waters become a haunting backdrop, shrouded in darkness and secrecy, where unimaginable creatures and ancient terrors lurk. The fear of the unseen looms large, as every moment brings the possibility of encountering something never before witnessed by human eyes. While there may not be megalodons, the creatures that inhabit these waters appear as though they have sprung from the depths of our worst nightmares. Logic is not a strong point of Meg 2: The Trench — and that's okay But again, here's the catch (heh) — don't tread too deeply into the waters of overthinking. The plot may be as murky as the ocean depths, and character development might float by like a shipwrecked plank. Even the humour is something of a hit-and-miss. But the charismatic cast, led by Statham (returning as Jonas Taylor), sells it. Yet, that's not the point of this escapade. The heart of Meg 2: The Trench lies in the pursuit of unbridled entertainment and the thrill of being immersed in an aquatic carnival of chaos. Expect think pieces as to how Meg 2: The Trench is a sign of devolution of quality in modern cinema I am already dreading a flurry of think pieces and critiques flooding the internet in the wake of the film's release, dissecting the state of modern blockbusters and questioning whether their quality is on the decline. Critics will likely raise concerns about the prevalence of CGI-driven spectacles and a perceived lack of depth in storytelling. All of which is true, to an extent. But people forget B-movies and unabashed escapism have their rightful place in cinema. Films like Meg 2: The Trench offer a break from reality, tapping into a primal desire for excitement and adventure. They cater to an audience seeking pure entertainment and a break from the drab reality. There is a certain charm in such B-movies and the movie evoked nostalgic memories of classic aquatic horror movies of the last century. The thing is, if somebody bought tickets to this movie, they came to see a fun giant shark movie. And a fun giant shark movie is what they are going to get in Meg 2: The Trench. There is a climactic scene where Statham takes on the megs one by one all by his lonesome. It's glorious. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

There is a 'Fast & Furious' spin off coming up this summer, guys and it boasts of an intersting star cast. On Sunday, Dwayne `The Rock` Johnson took to Instagram to post a brand new photo from his upcoming action-flick 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw'. Terming it as an `exclusive` sneak-peak, the wrestler-turned-actor captioned the image "An exclusive lil` taste of biggest showdown the summer has ever seen. The Outlaw Lawman, HOBBS. The International Spy, SHAW. The Baddest Bad Guy the Fast & Furious franchise has ever had, BRIXTON. We`re either gonna get along or we get it on. Fuuuck gettin` along, gettin` it on is way more fun." He further wrote, "On a biz note, this film has been a fun one to produce and our audience is gonna have an absolute blast this summer." The image shows the three leading stars from the movie Dwyane `The Rock` Johnson, Jason Statham and Idris Elba standing together staring at the camera, dressed in black and looking ready for action.

'Fast & Furious' new spin-off to feature The Rock, Idris Elba and Jason Statham

<p>How much can you milk a franchise? And for how long? Questions that keep coming in your mind while you watch 'Fast &amp; Furious Presents: Hobbs &amp; Shaw'. Starring Dwayne 'The Rock'Johnson and Jason Statham, the spin-off from the popular franchise may be giving us a new plot and new characters but ultimately it succumbs to tried and tested action and chase sequences making this David Leitch directorial venture a stale affair.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film is super high on testosterone to the point of being ridiculous. Everyone is trained in martial arts and everyone can outwit the other. What's the story, you ask? A convoluted plot of two rivals. Once rivals, special agents Luke Hobbs(Johnson) and Deckard Shaw(Statham), have to unwillingly team up together to save the world from a deadly virus which has been injected in another agent Hattie Shaw's palm. Hattie is Deckard's estranged sister who has to bury differences with her brother in order to save herself and the world. Family, in fact, plays an integral part of the narrative- much like the previous films of the franchise.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So who is stopping the trio from doing their job? Brixton(Idris Elba), the genetically modified 'bad guy' who declares himself as the 'black Superman' for he is unbeatable and the super agents, despite their skills, are no match to Brixton's power.</p>

<p>Much like the franchise, this one too has innumerable, mind-numbing, action sequences which are thrilling and will keep you on the edge of your seats. Because it has the Rock as its main protagonist, one gets to see some outlandish stunts that only suit him. There is a sequence where he holds on to a helicopter with his bare hands, he jumps off buildings without any harness and perfectly lands on his target. Rock basically can do anything and everything and the film showcases his chiseled body in all its glory. Statham undoubtedly plays his sidekick, even though his character may refuse to agree to it as Rock suggests in one sequence. The two actors, in fact, share great chemistry on screen and as they go around saving the world, they also have the choicest insults for each other. Their constant banter does ensure a good laugh. Vanessa Kirby is impressive as Shaw's sister.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are some very interesting cameos- which are hilarious and the high point of the film. But overall, the film fails to give you the adrenaline rush that the previous films had given. The story seems a mix of Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious and overall a predictable affair. Watch it only if you are a fan of the two leads, or the franchise.&nbsp;</p>

'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' review: The spin-off seems dated

<p>Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham return as agent Hobbs and outcast Shaw in 'Fast &amp; Furious: Hobbs &amp; Shaw', their own spin-off in the hugely successful film franchise.</p>

<p>The two characters, who strongly dislike each other, must join forces against villain Brixton, played by Idris Elba.</p>

<p>Reuters spoke to Statham and Elba about the spin-off and franchise, whose films have grossed more than $5 billion worldwide. Below are edited excerpts of those interviews.</p>

<p>JASON STATHAM</p>

<p>Q: What is the film about?</p>

<p>Statham: "It's about two guys that do not want to be in the same room as each other, have to put their differences to one side for the greater good of saving the world."</p>

<p>Q: How did the idea of a spin-off come about?</p>

<p>Statham: "We did part 8 (where) we had a couple of great moments face to face, and people responded to the animosity and the tension in the room when we were trying to kill each other. We expanded on that and people wanted to see more of it."</p>

<p>Q: What's the secret of the 'Fast &amp; Furious'&nbsp;success?</p>

<p>Statham: "It's down to the characters ... people relate to characters they either like or don't like ... The action hero was coined by Arnold (Schwarzenegger) and Sylvester Stallone, there was something about them that was relatable or their humour or there was just something about their personality ... We are drawn to see these people overcome the odds."</p>

<p>IDRIS ELBA</p>

<p>Q: How would you describe your character?</p>

<p>Elba: "My character is a human being with an extraordinary ability, he's part machine and this part machine is designed to fight. It's designed for war. He has a big ego ... in fact his ego is what might destroy him as opposed to his machinery ... He has a recurring memory that isn't a good one."</p>

<p>Q: What was it like working with Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson?</p>

<p>Elba: "It's working with the best in their game ... (They) have been action movies for like 20 years ... I was like a kid in a candy shop watching these guys do that."</p>

<p>Q: Did you do your own stunts?</p>

<p>Elba: "I did a lot of the fighting sequence stunts myself, some of the bike stunts I did myself and that's because (director) David (Leitch) wants to have you in the frame ... We did a lot of training for fitness because he does long takes and we got in there as much as possible."</p>

<p>Q: You wrote a song on your iPad during filming, how did that happen?</p>

<p>Elba: "There's always set up times in between shots ... in that time-space, I always have something to do and it's typically playing FIFA (video games) or making music. And I wrote a song that is in the movie, in the chase sequence."</p>

<p>Q: Is your DJing and music a second career?</p>

<p>Elba: "Second career for sure, I've been DJing all my life, but now I can say it's a career because I'm loving it, it's very grounding for me."</p>

We did a lot of training for fitness because he does long takes and we got in there as much as possible." Q: You wrote a song on your iPad during filming, how did that happen? Elba: "There's always set up times in between shots ... in that time-space, I always have something to do and it's typically playing FIFA (video games) or making music. And I wrote a song that is in the movie, in the chase sequence." Q: Is your DJing and music a second career? Elba: "Second career for sure, I've been DJing all my life, but now I can say it's a career because I'm loving it, it's very grounding for me."

Jason Statham and Idris Elba open up on 'Fast & Furious' spin-off

Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham return as agent Hobbs and outcast Shaw in "Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw", their own spin-off in the hugely successful film franchise. In the film Johnson and Statham's hardmen characters, lawman 'Hobbs' and outcast 'Shaw' respectively, who are rivals from the seventh film in the franchise, must unite to stop a deadly virus and save the world - but not without trading insults along the way with comical results. The two characters, who strongly dislike each other, must join forces against villain Brixton, played by Idris Elba.

<p>Warner Bros. just dropped the first trailer and poster of Jason Statham starrer, <em>The Meg </em>and it will give you goosebumps for real. The <em>Fast and Furious</em> actor is seen dealing a monster shark called the Megalodon which was presumed to be extinct for thousands of years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film is based on the 1997 science fiction book ‘Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror’ by Steve Alten that is about a massive, 75-foot-long Megalodon terrorizing a deep-sea submersible which comes to a standstill after bracing with the monster shark. Jason Statham plays a diver tasked with rescuing the crew of the submersible.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To play the character of the diver, Jason actually swam with sharks before the shoot of the film. While preparing for the role, the brilliant actor took a trip to Fiji islands and went diving with bull sharks. The British actor swam with 20-30 of them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is the official synopsis of the film:&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert </em><em>deep sea</em><em> rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is </em><em>that,</em><em> years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.&nbsp;</em></p>
