This movie was EXACTLY what it intended to be; mindless, over-the-top, cheesy fun. If you went into the theatre expecting anything else, that says more about you than the movie. No one set out to get any Oscar nominations for this film, and the acting is downright laughable at times, but it's fun! Stallone, Arnold, and Chuck Norris delivered exactly what one would expect from them. Even Jason Statham, who always seems to take his characters a tad too seriously, seemed to be having a laugh making this. Grab some popcorn, check your brain at the door, and enjoy this film. Just don't take it - or yourself - too seriously!… Expand

Simon West's impressively mounted comeback feature after Con Air, is packed with a collage of 1980s era testosterone action awesomeness, homages, references and a very good time at the movies. The Expendables Team is far more comfortable inSimon West's impressively mounted comeback feature after Con Air, is packed with a collage of 1980s era testosterone action awesomeness, homages, references and a very good time at the movies. The Expendables Team is far more comfortable in their roles, and the added players, especially Chuck Norris and Van Damme greatly contribute to that rare sequel that dramatically surpasses the original. The action sequences are well crafted, production values are higher than expected from the trailers - and most of it all works. Stallone and Team have created a great vehicle for expendable talent in front and behind the camera to showcase they've still got it, or for deserved stars like Terry Crews, those who should have a feature shot. Redemption for the lame original has been earned.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the actors showing signs of aging, this movie as they say in the 'Good Ole Days' is action packed from beginning to end. I seriously loved the 2nd Expendables movie than the first one. Get ready for a lot of one liners and tons of action from our old heroes. I can see people adding this one to their collection when it releases to DVD. Despite what the critics say, go see this movie if you were ever a fan of any of them in the movie. Just seeing Rambo, Terminator, John McClane and Chuck Norris with Weapons of Mass Destruction shooting the screen up at the same time is worth it!… Expand

The Expendables 2 is certainly the latter. It's an example that not all films have to be epic masterpieces or avant-grade art galleries. As a sequel to the first Expendables film, there is relativity little continuity. But with plenty of explosions, gunfire, crazy stunts and the world's greatest action stars, you have the perfect recipe for a mindless action romp. With corny one-liners, a satisfying climax and vehicle stunts that you wish you could try at home (but probably shouldn't), The Expendables 2 is great for bachelor parties and mens' night out. To sum it all up, The Expendables 2 is like a video game come to life, complete with a throwaway story, quirky jokes and more lead than a pencil factory (even though pencils don't use lead anymore, but how else could I have made that joke?"). If you want some serious drama, then this film is not for you. If you want to see some multi-million dollar action stars doing what they were born to do, then this film is the place to see it!… Expand

This is everything you could have ever asked for in an action film: Tons of action stars, lots of explosions, bodies flying everywhere, and lots of one liners. Oh, and don't forget the cheese. Nothing makes an action film more entertainingThis is everything you could have ever asked for in an action film: Tons of action stars, lots of explosions, bodies flying everywhere, and lots of one liners. Oh, and don't forget the cheese. Nothing makes an action film more entertaining than making it cheesy and over the top. The Expendables 2, although not art, will entertain any fan of crazy action films. As long as you don't take it TOO seriously, even though I thought the film got a little too serious for its own good in a couple of scenes, you will walk out satisfied. The acting and story are nothing worthy of an Oscar, but the actors and the writers, one of them being Stallone, get the job done. Some may gripe about how the film takes about 40 minutes to go from the 1st action scene to the next, but at least this establishes the actors and the tone that we're settling for in an hour and a half movie. When the action happens, it's great fun to watch, and that's all that should matter in a film like this.… Expand

That said, please note this caveat - I'm a product of the 80's when all these guys were the stars of the day and I'm a big believer in action movies where you can actually tell what's happening in the action sequences, which you can in this. I'd go as far as to say this is Simon West's best film. But if you're under 25 and don't care about old movies at all, this flick may hold no satisfaction for you.

I also don't think it has quite as much soul as the original and it isn't as much of a surprise. I miss those scenes with Mickey Rourke in the tattoo parlor which were aimless but heartfelt. But in every other way I think it's a better movie. By today's deplorable standards, the plot is standout. The Chuck Norris stuff is great but if you're not in on the Chuck Norris joke or you think it's played out, then, I don't know, go see "Beasts of the Southern Wild." (I've killed a lot of quillboars in the Barrens, so that's my idea of beasts of the southern wild!) Also, I do believe this is Dolph Lundgren's best work. I know that's not saying much, but it's got to be worth something.… Expand

It's a cool action movie. It had some great lines, scenes, and a surprisingly decent story for a movie where it's main emphasis is the combat scenes and action. The special effects were some of the best I've seen and not to mention they gathered most of the best action heroes of all time to make this film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just what you'd expect for a movie like this, the story isn't very involved, Bad Guys do bad things and Sylvester Stallone and the rest of the Expendables (aided by Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and the Governator) kick their A$$es. Full of explosions and one-liners my favorite being when the Governator runs out of ammo he says to Bruce Willis "I'm out, I'll be back!" to which Willis replies "you've been back enough I'll go!"

There seems to be two worlds in action movies nowadays. There are action movies with regular Hollywood actors, that were cast to bring in some cash. Then there are the action movies starring action movie stars. Those dedicated to the genre.There seems to be two worlds in action movies nowadays. There are action movies with regular Hollywood actors, that were cast to bring in some cash. Then there are the action movies starring action movie stars. Those dedicated to the genre. Those who practice their own stunts and the budget is spent on props and sets rather than CGI. The latter is a dying breed.

The Expendables 2 has a lot of heart, and it all goes into the old action hero style movie of the 80s and early 90s. Sly Stallone does not disappoint in any way. Then there are the action movie vets you know and love. Arnold and Bruce do not disappoint either. There are less frequent than the main cast from the first movie, but their parts are funny and exciting.

The highlight of this movie comes when you open your mind to having a blast. Enjoy the violent over the top kills. For example, the entire Expendables crew unloads on one man well past his dying point, then they drop a one liner. The whole theatre was smiling, laughing, ooooHing. It is fun in that sense.

The final battle simply put is just Jean Claude Vam Damme vs. Sylvester Stallone. It is made knowing that you are watching two action movie heavyweights battle. JCVD shows off some cool kickboxing, while Stallone shows off plenty of muscle. It was a fun end battle that man action fans are looking forward to.

All in all, The Expendables 2 could be the greatest action movie made. It is exciting, the kills are brutal, all actors show off their athletic skills. The cast are truly action movie stars, not just cash in actors. When you accept this movie is to get your adrenaline fix, then you have yourself a great movie.… Expand

But for a film that has the greatest action stars from the 70s, 80s and 90s it disappoints. Jean Claude Van Damme was awesome as the villain, but he gets too little screen time and not much action. On the other hand, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris have a little bit more than cameos, but they get to shine when they appear. Their presence is only there for the sake of fan service. Unfortunately, Jet Li gets thrown away of the movie out of nowhere and gets replaced with a Michelle Yeoh wannabe that tries too hard to be badass and fails miserably. Her role would have been better if it was played by Brigitte Nielsen, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton or Michelle Yeoh herself. More than an action dream team film, The Expendables 2 is a Rambo movie which happens to have JCVD, Arnie, Bruce Willis and Chuck Norris in it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good action flick. I really enjoyed seeing all the old familiar faces together one more time. I thought the story was much better than the first one and so were the one-liners and the attempt at comedy by some of the actors was damn funny. It did seem a bit rushed at the end, seemed to finish a bit too quickly, but the finale was still good for what it was and it wasn't disappointing in any way. There are two new additions to the team in this one, and they both do a fine job. One of the original Expendables goes on a 'side' mission part way through and doesn't show up again, but I think this was due to a scheduling conflict he had while the movie was being filmed, although I could be wrong. So the producers used this angle as an excuse for him to not be in the rest of the film. Overall, this was an enjoyable way to end the summer movie season and I hope there is at least one more mission left in these guys. I recommend it to anyone who grew up with these actors when they were starring in their own films. Even if you're younger than that, if you like action, you'll like this.… Expand

They're running around in the open like a bunch of **** making loads of noise, there's no way these guys would last five minutes in the field. Ok the special effects are good and the deaths are realistic but as the film has no substance the violence just seems gratuitous and pointless. Great, well done Sly, you can accurately depict a mans head being blown to pieces, but can you make a decent film? No. Not since Rambo 4. Van Damme bagged this film 1 star from me by just being in it though.… Expand

Disappointment. My first allegation to this movie is that it was too funny. During watching of it I felt as if I was watching Hot Shots. There is too much of a disparity between parody and darkness here. And I don`t think it`s because ofDisappointment. My first allegation to this movie is that it was too funny. During watching of it I felt as if I was watching Hot Shots. There is too much of a disparity between parody and darkness here. And I don`t think it`s because of Chuck Norris. He actually made a good character and played well. Some of the lines are just silly and completely out of place. Also the action scenes are average at best, vastly inferior to the first Expendables. In the first movie, every kill had its place, here it is just chaos. One would think that with such cast and setting anyone could make a great killing movie, but here they failed. The director did not manage to use the image of every gun toting hero and certainly every one of them got much less than they deserved (Schwarzenegger and Willis for example). Also, the first sighting of the main villain (named Vilain, haha) seemed just right, but he turned out to be a total wimp in the end. For sure Van Damme also deserved to be bigger here. I must say that again, it is not the fault of all the actors who played great, but fault of the whole scenario. If one had given theme adequate action scenes then it would have been simply epic. There was faaaar too much of Statham, and his knive scenes are much inferior to martial art scenes of Jet Li from the first Expendables. I sincerely hope the director will take notes on EX2, improve on the downsides and bring back some of the magic from the first movie. Everything else in this film is great so if you don`t mind lots of parody then go ahead and watch it.… Expand

It's literally a line up of almost every action heroes for the past two decades, shootingA movie so crammed with testosterone and gunpowder you can whiff it oozing from cinema screen, The Expendables 2 is everything I expected it to be. It's literally a line up of almost every action heroes for the past two decades, shooting dozens of extras with probably thousands of bullets. This movie is self-aware enough to make jokes about itself, using cliche puns for self-deprecating instead of macho bravado to entertain audience. It's efficient, predictable and quite fun actually.

It has a degree of story, decent enough to get things started, although it doesn't push the movie beyond the ludicrous over-the-top premise, and it doesn't really intend to. Safe to say, it's a group of mercenaries against another, the only downside is the lack of villains, only Van Damme and Scott Adkins plays the bad guys. It gives a decent set-up for the carnage to come, even though some ridiculous scenes change the short tone of seriousness.

The cast do what they are supposed to; shooting and bashing people, then pose for camera for a catchphrase. For what it's worth, Stallone has a screen charisma and believable as an experienced leader of this rag-tag band. Van Damme as antagonist is imposing, mostly because he brings knife to gunfights. They don't exactly escape their action hero roles, but the script uses more personal touch so they look more natural instead of acting at some parts. There are a few chuckles here and there, some in the expense of Lundgren or Chuck Norris' internet joke. It embraces the silliness rather than pretending the audience will buy their overly stern personalities. The rest of the script is accumulation of catchphrases from ye olden days, highly overused and could derail the movie from the plot, yet oddly still entertaining. Set pieces are more constructed this time, the end stretch in airport gleefully reminds me of Max Payne 3. For those who wait the mano-a-mano showdowns, there are some to be had as Adkins and Van Damme provide convincing threats.

This time, Willis and Scha... Shcwaz... Arnold also have more screen time, I think fans will appreciate them shooting side by side. Action is predictably loud, explosions everywhere and piles of dead bodies. It's not exactly the type of excellence from melee brawl The Raid had offered though. For all the bang and cheesy one-liners The Expendables 2 brings, it won't go beyond the hay day of action movies despite the modern grimy visual. If you come for just that action overdose, that's plenty here.

They blew stuff up! Genius! Specially in the 80s. Coming out of the decade-long homage to dialogue that was the 70s (translation: they had no money for effects in the 70s, so they had to use language; who knew?!) And hence the invention of the summer blockbuster.
Cut to the dawn of the 21st century. Where, at this point, we have seen so many things, people, and/or aliens, get blown to bits in such a variety of both creative and absurdly implausible ways that audiences actually forget that the actors in a dramatic endeavor are supposed to get hired for their skill to convince you that they are someone else, not because they look awesome blasting everything in sigh to smithereens. Plus, somehow, now they all look far too sexy to kill anyone. There's a long-forgotten photo shoot they all escaped from apparently.
In any case and back to my point. My apologies. I'm getting lost just out of the sheer stupidity that seems to be happening in cinema lately. On to Expendables 2...
I'll clue you in on something blatantly obvious about the title of the "Expendable" series. The title. It means, and I quote: 'Designed to be used only once and then abandoned or destroyed.' ... Are you guys out there catching on yet? ... First of all there is a sequel, and second, they are all there, plus a few extra guys and a girl on top of that... Soooo? Who or what was actually expendable?
I mean, I get that we are supposed to be dumb and jump for joy every change crap gets shot to tears, but, if we look closely at this film, we must be the dumbest people around! Specially because the movies is holding on the top weekend spot for the second week in a row and there are plans to make a second.
I should probably tell you a bit of what actually goes on in this madness of semi-comedic testosterone. I have to warn you, there are some spoilers ahead.
The film opens with such an insane action scene that it's impossible not to envision these guys as the strongest military force on the surface of this planet-and probably beyond, but the aliens haven't weighed in yet. Let's face it, when you are this good, any government would hire you at top dollar and you wouldn't have to live in hiding.
Continuing on with what's presented on the first ten minutes of the picture. Let's point out a few fun details. For example, how these "ex-military geniuses" dress in no way like any military force anyone has ever seen. Or the completely impractical, post-apocalyptic design of their custom-made vehicles. And how about their well thought-out military intelligent strategy to rescue someone with a gun to their head by driving violently through wall after wall. Sure, why not. I guess that would never put a subject at risk. To make it even funnier, the enemy just stands there waiting to get shot! As if our "experts" are not being blatantly loud enough! ... Good comedy from the start.
Look, this is not the 80s. When simply blowing a cute little car would draw audiences to theaters en mass. This is 2012, where carefully crafted military based video games sit in the consoles of almost every member of your potential audience. You have to treat us as if we were only partially stupid, not flat out dumb. Any 14 year old with a copy of MW3 at home can do this better... Twice... While holding ice cream and texting their 16 year old girlfriend... That was meant for the marketing guys at the studio. 'You guys listening?'
This would probably be a good spot to stop, but since I'm having so much fun, I'll keep going.
A personal peeve was the "appearances" of celebrities. Starting with Jet Li. For the record. I love the guy. I think "Hero" is one of the coolest movies around. However, even though he is in every single piece of marketing for this film, he is literally in it for less than ten minutes total screen time (go for it, clock it.) He says a couple of cliché lines and then drops off the plane. Just like that. The funny thing is I was watching this happen and I said to myself. Hey! Look, that's how the studio drops a couple million dollars down the drain. Off it goes. Byyyyyye!
Another good one is Chuck Norris. Or the "Lone Wolf" as they call him. A name that I find very appropriate since he's in the movie even less than Jet Li. But at least Mr. Li had some kind of believable involvement in the plot,if you can fathom that... Basically there is a scene where everyone of our guys is trapped by an overwhelming force, and I mean, so large that they are going down. There is even a tank bearing down on them. No way, no how they survive... Until Mr. Norris arrives... In a split second, literally, everyone is machine gunned down and the tank blows up. Kaputs! Like that. As if they weren't even there... Not bad for a guy you can catch on TV after 2 am hustling exercise equipment. Wow...… Expand

Full Review : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feQcW3a3KE

Its one up on the original, its definitely better than that, its got some great action, it has got all the familiar faces, its has all the toppings of the blockbuster commercialFull Review : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feQcW3a3KE

Its one up on the original, its definitely better than that, its got some great action, it has got all the familiar faces, its has all the toppings of the blockbuster commercial film, it has even got the presence of three bigwigs Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and of course Sylvester Stallone himself. The team is back in action in this film.

While it is great to see all of them come together in fact there are some of the best moments in the film when you actually see those three big wigs on screen together. Its quiet an awesome feeling. The first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes are probably the only big reason i would actually recommend going to see this in a theater but apart from that i am going to have to say that even though the film has a lot of one liners has attempts at comedy, has all the elements that are required in an action film without of course giving us really any substance or meat to sink our teeth into because thats not really what an action blockbuster is all about. I still feel that i can not recommend this one and can not tell you to waste your money and go and watch it in theaters. I just feel that we have seen all of this before in terms of the plot, the one liners, the attempts of comedy & the mission, its all very very tried and familiar.

They set out on a mission, they have obstacles, ends up being about revenge, there is a female thrown into picture to join the team. There is one thing that i liked about the film was that there was a lot of laughing at oneself in which stallone did a good job yet i feel that he just underestimates an audience's expectations. When you have bigwigs like Stallone, Bruce Willis you just expect a little more.

I am sorry i am just going to say go and watch a video game instead or go watch Die Hard or Terminator or any of the Rocky series for now Ira Say's "TRASH IT".… Expand

Yet still horrible CGI. I know they had to use it in one part because 'environmentalists complained that filming could damage the cave and endangered species' fair enough...

Anyway, aside from the CGI the film has a few funny one liners here and there obviously. The dialogue between the action scenes is nothing special really... There's no real storyline, aside from saving a person and seeking revenge.

Overall the film is disappointing, for me at least. There could had been so much more potential especially with the budget.… Expand

The original cast return in the form of Stallone, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren and Terry Crews with the exception of Mickey Rourke, and Jet Li disappears very early in the film after taking the hostage the team rescued at the start of the film back to his country. The Expendables 2 opens up all guns blazing and we find ourselves introduced to the return of Arnold Schwarenegger as rival mercenary Trench, who Barney (Sly Stallone) and his team rescue.
But after tragedy strikes the team, they seek revenge on the sunglasses-wearing Jean Claude Van Damme, playing the big bad Jean Villain (yeah, I know), who is after a buried stash of plutonium, underground since the Cold War, and he intends to sell it, not if these ageing action stars have anything to do with it.
The film certainly tries its best to re-capture the magic of 80s action, and almost does it without the flaw, what should have been left in the cold was the CGI in this, it is quite dodgy in many scenes and just seems unnecessary when you look at the amount of talent involved in the feature.
A few squabbles aside, the chemistry between the main cast members is excellent, almost like a few guys out in a bar having a few drinks, but I think it is the emergence of the special guests who make an appearance in the film, particularly Schwarzenegger Bruce Willis and of course the legend and master of the most ridiculous facts in history, Chuck Norris, and one of these facts is even given a line in the film, simply ridiculous but absolutely brilliant.
The film could have the potential to make you laugh more times than most comedies out at the moment, they don't take themselves seriously, they just want to have fun, the dialogue is often silly but at times witty, one moment in particular when Norris comes to the aid of Schwarzeneggar, the latter turns and says "Who's next..Rambo?"
Its a could homage to the ageing franchise of cheesy yet throughly enjoyable action movies, and with this genre rapidly disappearing, why not keep these guys around? Lets have fun as long as we can, because they seem to be doing the same.… Expand

Looking at the good side first, itThe Expendables 2 has a bunch of explosions, realistic hand-to-hand fight sequences, and guns and gore galore just like the first movie did. However, this sequel did some things better and some things worse. Looking at the good side first, it did actually have a little big better plot development and believe it or not, even more action heroes. Adding Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme to an already loaded cast and then having Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger each get more screen time were all plusses. All of the little inside jokes were absolutely hilarious, as well. The Arnie one-liners, Die Hard references and Chuck Norris jokes were fun little easter eggs for long time action fans. The problem is that this film somehow found a way to have even less character development than the first film, feeling somehow even more shallow. I actually really missed Mickey Rourke's character in this sequel. I thought he added so much to the first film in how he seemed to humanize the cast, especially Stallone's character. I suppose you could argue that Liam Hemsworth's character does that instead but I don't think there should necessarily be a limit on depth. And while those little nods to the 80's were funny, they actually took away from the seriousness of the film. Seeing Rambo, the Terminator, and John McClane all shooting bad guys side-by-side may have seemed awesome but there was simply too much of the over-the-top element in this movie. I felt the first film found the perfect balance between giving each action hero their due while staying true to making a great movie. This film, unfortunately felt like a parody of the first at times, rather than its own movie.… Expand

You just can't fit every big name into one movie and giveSylvester Stallone had a brilliant idea that came to fruition in 2010, with an action movie that brought together all the big names in the action movie genre, but there was a problem. You just can't fit every big name into one movie and give them all significant screen time, so you had to have a sequel. The more things change, the more they stay the same, however, as this time, the story was a bit better, at least for an action movie, and the cast was a bit younger, but the basic genre was still the same. Barney Ross's (Sylvester Stallone) team is once again brought together to do a job, this time there are some new younger faces, to complete what seems like what should be an easy job, what they weren't expecting was to stumble right into the middle of a madman's master-plan. As I said, the story wasn't as basic this time, things were a little more complex, but on a basic level this is still you're typical shoot em up action film, with bodies and explosions constantly coming at you. What I did like was how they change things up a bit and didn't just feature the same actors, even though many members of the team were the same. The one thing the first film was severely lacking was youth, and I don't know about you, but I'd much rather see Liam Hemsworth fighting with his shirt off than Sylvester Stallone. All in all, the sequel doesn't differ that much from the original, but where it does, only helps the series. The cast is younger, the story is better, and the action hits harder. If you're an action junkie, it doesn't get more exciting than the Expendables and the sequel will have you craving a trilogy.… Expand

Aside from all that action were precious moments, being them comical moments or simply moments which add to the story, and yes there is a story, not the best story but the story everyone would expect. This sequel in my opinion is just simply better than the previous Expendables in every single way, and the references to the other films these actors were in are just priceless, also very good fighting scenes.

Bottom line: This is an one-time unique old fashioned movie, and should be reviewed the old fashioned way, why so much praise to movies like Rambo and Exterminator and not so much for Expendables ? They do the exact same thing, the difference is the release date and of course the mentality (and age) of the person who reviews. Does exactly what it was expected to do so 10/10.… Expand

I don't know if at this point I desire something else from movies, with the likes of TransformersYes I know it was an action movie but even the action got or felt kind of dry after the first 20 minutes that seemed the best part of the movie. I don't know if at this point I desire something else from movies, with the likes of Transformers 3 boring the pants of me in spite of all the incredible CG. I love action video games and their CG sequences, they seem to bring the flow of mayhem and action scenes to life, maybe that's why I'm jaded to just sitting there and being fed the drool? Seriously the first battle was the best part of the movie, making the rest of it seem uninteresting. I can remember only Arnold's roles and one scene (that involved a plane and a mineshaft, I will say) that interested me after that. The first movie had a ton of scenes a really enjoyed and still look up and watch from time to time, from little crazy dialogue to the action scenes themselves.

As someone else said, Van Damme's role and action scenes are pathetically short and few that my mind doesn't bother to recall them in detail, there was basically just one. Just as I've said with the best having come first in the movie, the few neat scenes in the rest of the movie had some poor or non-existent build-up, the overall battle just didn't have an effect. Chuck Norris appeared..and was basically a walking 'Chuck Norris' meme, something that was exhausted 5 years ago and can only be enjoyed by the brain dead try-hards. I'm not smart-guy but I'm not that dumb. That is to say he was a disappointing cameo.

Maybe I had my hopes up too much, I watched that great fan made trailer "Expendables 2 Trailer: Made in America Fan Video", it got me so hyped, and still does as I still watch it,even though I've already seen the movie.… Expand

Perhaps, in some way, for a fraction of the population. The movie intends to be a throwback to old 80s macho action (as did the first) and yet it completely lacks their genuine charm. The story is cliche and predictable, and the dialogue is not funny or even cute, but cringe worthy. If it is worthy of anything, it is being able to decipher that Stallone's IQ is probably somewhere in the low 90s. The action is admittedly impressive at times, though it gets repetitive and since our heroes will always dominate it becomes worthless towards the end.… Expand

I just wanted to see these guys do what they do best and that's killing terrorists "together". I found myself laughing through out the entire movie especially the machine gun spree in the airport and that satisfying Chuck Norris joke. For this movie I will only rate it as how good the explosions were, how good the fight scenes were, and how good the killing spree was. It's definitely a good time!… Expand

Let's face it, no one was expecting a sequel to up the anti and kick as much ass as this no-brains all brawn all out action epic does. The Expendables, led by a Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone, more focused on keeping his *cough* acting *cough* in check now that directing duties have been given to much... steadier hands in the form of Simon West, who was proved his action chops on several occassions over recent years, his most notables being Nic Cage Con Air and fellow Expendable Jason Statham's Mechanic) on a revenge mission against infamous European mercenery VillAin (played with gleeful OTT by a top form JCVD) after young soldier for hire and Barney's friend Liam Hemsworth (yep, that guy from the Hunger Games) is killed on what seemed a simple job. As figured, the plots not what keeps the film going, with what seems like a story written in two lines spread like butter across a LARGE (1hr 43 mins) piece of toast. But the action... MY GOD. Every action star, phenomen, body builder, european screen mass fill the frame every second of this picture, and no, the idea of the world's greatest action stars together in one movie DOES NOT GET OLD. If solid action is what you want (JCVD, Norris and Arnold stand out in this pic) and possibly the best performances out of Hollywood's brawn this side of the century, this film is yours to swallow up, regardless of poorly thought out plot and too many mercenaries to count let alone care for. It's worth paying to see for the Arnie jokes alone mind. 6

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2010, experiencing The Expendables on the big screen became the ultimate wet dream for avid fans of action films due to the outstanding ensemble cast of actors, practically are the symbols of the genre, the explosive action and the manliness of it all. Although it met with a mixed critical response, it was not long after the announcement of the sequel in which the majority of the gang would reprise their roles to take another intense adventure with the new action heroes added to the pack. What you see with The Expendables 2 and its predecessor is exactly what you get! It may have quite possibly the most exhilarating, badass and physical action you will ever see, but it still is a rather corny film that could quite easily come across as a guilty pleasure.

In the first film, Sylvester Stallone did an absolutely marvellous job executing the R-rated gun fights and car chases and, thus, making an action fan… Expand

Boasting even more beefy action stars of various vintages and skills, plus an obscenely fun villain played by none other than Jean-Claude Van Damme, The Expendables 2 actually fulfills that original promise of an over-the-top, slightly tongue-in-cheek action movie that revives 80s macho bloodsport while poking just enough fun at it as well. How much you enjoy all the CGI blood and flying bullets and goofy one-liners will probably depend on how much nostalgia you have for these guys-- though some things, like the charming rapport between Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, or Van Damme's scenery-chewing baddie, translate no matter how many times you've seen First Blood. And while the plot is once again dead simple, that's a good thing here, getting away from the convoluted political dealings of The Expendables and diving into straight-up evil. Van Damme plays a notorious Belgian arms dealer who has unlocked a cache of plutonium buried in an old Russian mine. He's kidnapping local villagers and working them to death to get at it, but even worse, he's killed someone the Expendables cared about to get there. Clearly, they must stop him. The Expendables 2 isn't nearly clever enough to operate as an actual action movie as well as a parody of one-- maybe they'll hire Edgar Wright to write the third one and seriously up their game-- but it is a good amount of fun, especially for those going in for the nostalgic thrills they've been promised. Maybe they're all geniuses for lowering the bar so much with The Expendables that we can't help but be grateful to this one for actually being a good time.… Expand
