Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Platypuschow To me The Expendables franchise is a pretencious vanity project.Yeah sure I get it, all the most famous action stars thrown together for old school action. I understand the appeal, I just don't like it.Now despite what my profiles analytics say I don't really like action movies, they're not my thing unless they have a lot of other themed content (Action/horror etc). Sure I respect the old school original action films, they had a certain novelty charm to them but here it comes across as recycled as much as it does a homage.Considering the list of famous names the action isn't as explosive as you'd imagine and the fight scenes are really quite lame. How can you have Stallone/Arnie/Willis and not have the best action? How can you have Van Damme/Norris/Jet Li and not have great fight scenes? It's like they decided they didn't need to make the effort because they had the cast, well you did.The Expendables 2 is on par with the first movie, namely brainless action with a generic cliched storyline and nothing even remotely original.It's like they took all these stars, threw them into a paint by numbers action flick and assumed it would work. Oh wait, it did. The franchise has been very successful. I'm sure it's nostalgic for the old and new and exciting for the young.Well it doesn't appeal to me. Call me weird but I want more than gun fights, explosions and fist fights. I want story, I want substance, I want originality.The Good:Old school actionFew neat action movie referencesThe Bad:Statham still can't act for crapSome of the cgi is ropey, really shouldn't have been any anywayMindlessThings I Learnt From This Movie:Charisma Carpenter is improving with ageReal heroes open fire with high impact automatic weapons even when innocents are in the same direction
ronaldomessirroney I really don't have much to say about this movie as I don't remember it too well. All I remember was that Chuck Norris was in it and there was a fight in an airport.
Tss5078 Sylvester 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.
brandonleeeberhart Always bet on Dolph!No matter where you sit on the plane, get a seat by him because you just know if that plane gets hijacked by plain hijackers then he will be the one to take them out, one-by-one, all at the same time.Just about the time the drink cart rolled by my seat and I ordered some drinks for me and the panda bear I was smuggling from Ancient China the part of this movie where Jean Claude Valjean shows up showed up and it was the Greatest Moment Ever, including the moment that happened later, when I ordered another drink, coke this time, and then the movie was over and there was this black screen with the names of all the people who made it and were in it, and guess what? Dolph was in the movie! The second time...XL/XS
