Generic action movie is generic

[xt1me]

I just watched the Losers. I wasn’t expecting much from a mindless action movie but this was so…bland. Maybe it was because I kept stopping and starting it but I just couldn’t get invested.

The characters are barely one note, the villains have no real motivation, the plot isn’t anything to write home about and the twists are both expected and yet seem to happen for no reason. I know you can say this about a lot of action movies but at least they’re usually entertaining, with the mindless violence and the explosions. Maybe I’ve just been spoiled with good CGI recently or maybe it’s because they did all the horrible clichés people complain about in action movies (like the overuse of shaky-cam and slow-motion) but this was bad.

It’s a pity too, because the trailer made it look like it could’ve been interesting.

 

I should probably just go read the comic.
(This was just so paint-by-numbers it’s like they didn’t even try)
