Great movie who unfortunately fell under the radar.. Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Jeffrey Dean morgan and Zoe Saldana are no strangers to comic book movies and they are all great in this flick which is packed with action and comedic scenes! 8/10
The Diggle/Jock version of The Losers failed to capture my imagination, so I didn't read beyond the first trade, but I AM a big fan of the Kirby original (I would go see THAT movie in a heartbeat). The "new" Losers movie was... a fun entertainment! Though it didn't feature Captain Storm, etc., it still felt like a Losers story, with each victory actually turning into a defeat. I see the Internet thought it was an A-Team rip-off, but I've never really been an A-Team kind of guy, so that comparison is lost on me. The Losers has some fun action, stylish "Hong Kong" style tricks, and perhaps most importantly, strong acting from the cast (many of which are becoming veterans of genre films). If there's a weak spot, it's the over-the-top villain. In movies like this, participants sometimes go too far to make the villain irredeemably evil, to the point of cartoonishness. This is such a time.
It's all about Zoe Saldana's ass. Whatever is happening and how it happens it all about Zoe's derriere. Which is very nice and I enjoy looking at it but for a 97 minute movie is rather slim.
The film has a very cool day glo, pop art style and the actors work hard but ultimately the film suffers by not really stretching outside it's self imposed limitations. The plot isn't just paper thin it's taken from dozens of other, much better films so you know exactly whats going to happen. Worst of all, for an action movie the set pieces are pretty bland when not focussed on a particular gimmick or stunt.
It's fun for a while but you won't come back for more and neither will the studio. So no real winners anywhere really.

Nothing special. Pretty typical bad action smash.There is the good points tho. Characters and the actors make it all worth it.
