Review Time: this film is good-ish.

Subtitles: now I have watched this section of this film title many, many times [during the opening credits or credits on screen,] it is where we have these characters being rushed somewhere and they are speaking a different language but there are no subtitles. Now move the film on maybe two minutes or slightly less or more and then we get these subtitles [but this evildoer is speaking English but I have to confess it isn't exactly easy to understand.]

Once again moving on to the rest of the film, generally speaking you can see the subtitles clearly most of the time, meaning there are some occasions where the subtitles almost clash with the scene underneath [I just want to make this crystal clear everything I have mentioned in these sections of this review are based on my viewing experience and nothing more.]

Storyline: it is something that works, but if you have been around films or TV programs for a long time, you can work everything out before it happens or most of it.

Character developments/Dialogue exchanges: well I find these two elements to be sometimes boring throughout this project, on one hand we have Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis in one scene having these beautiful dialogue exchanges [with the right amount of testosterone, including character developments, some elements of a comedy flavour and many other bits and pieces.]

Whilst on the other hand there are some characters which were very basic as it relates to their character developments and dialogue exchanges [if some of these characters were going to come back in the sequel there would have to be some work done on them.]

Action sequences: they are hard-hitting, plenty of weapons being used, plenty of explosions and some deaths.

This film receives: 62% approval, now it is either I have seen too many film projects or TV programs or this film hasn't aged that well. But whatever the case may be I have seen this film no more than four times [I think] and every time I see it my opinions of it either change or get less and less.

But 62% approval just about feels right, this film just doesn't have the repeat viewing factor about it.
