It was only a matter of time before the real hero's of old Stallone, Willis, Streatham and even a Norris were in fact too old to be action hero's any more. Streatham does a great job as usual, he still has what it takes but Lundgren, wow, wooden would be an insult to wood. He was always bad but a poor script combined with his awful acting really emphasises he lack of talent. Now that have hit the diversity road, with a 50kg women able to throw and take down full on hard core soldier, it is time to wrap it up on a low. A great shame as I really enjoyed the first 3 films but as with everything directors are erring on the side of pleasing all the genders. One blessing, Lundgren wasn't in drag.

I feel that as a kid born in the mid 60s whose father was an orginal lover of Star Trek I can relate to this series more than the younger generations. I would rush home from school to watch Star Trek Generations, Picard being the type of person I would deeply respect as my boss. The relationship between Will and Jean Luc is deep, if you have seen all of Generations you will know this. So comes Picard the series in the picture. I have watched all seasons with tears in my eyes. I grew up with these guys, i even copied Wills beard, which I say I still have and looks good on me, not quite as grey as Will's beard but close 🙂 The jokes, the relationships between the characters all stem from knowing these figures inside out and having watched and grown up with them. I feel so so sad feeling that this era, my era is coming to an end. If you want to see this series, watch everything from the 80s first, you will then understand.

I real enjoyed this series, the way the brothers worked together but still had their issues. Also some of the capers were well thought out and we're at times really exciting. On a personal level, too much gay stuff for my liking which added pretty much nothing to the storyline. What kinda ruined it for me in the last few series was all the pointless flashbacks, it says to me that they were running out of a good story line but wanted to keep the series going. Overall a good watch and I would recommend it, not everyone has the same preferences as me and might not but so irritated by the small stuff.
