Went to a screening of The Losers Tuesday night.
This was a pretty sloppy movie. The action was shot very poorly and edited even worse, it's just all over the place back and forth with extremely fast cuts. If you think Bay cuts action fast, you may consider him slow after this. On top of that the action is pretty cheesy. Almost every single bad guy in this movie (and there are a lot of throwaway bad guys) dies with a single shot usually delivered with a casual flip of a gun in their direction. The Losers never seem to miss and the bad guys can never seem to hit anyone. Then of course when 2 characters get in a shootout towards the end, nobody can hit anything. This is PG-13 so there is almost no blood, and no hope for some crazy over the top violence to make it more fun.
The humor is pretty weak for the most part. There were quite a few times when something was obviously supposed to be at least somewhat humorous but it just falls flat. The one saving grace here is Chris Evans who just has fun with what he's given and in turn is actually funny.
The story is pretty lame, the villain incredibly stupid (no background is offered, no motivation, no explanation for what he ultimately wants), and the movie is just all over the place.
Even Zoe doesn't help much.
