    Action at it's best

    by

    What a movie!! The story plot is straight forward and simple which lead to a GREAT ACTION FLICK.... They tried to have some funny lines, but it just really not that funny.. Did I mention the action was great??

    Great action flick - cheesy lines and all!

    by texgirly

    Ok - It's not like you go to see this one expecting "Oscar" performances - but it is a heck of a lot of fun and the acting is good! It is full of action by the best in the business. They revisit some great lines from the action flicks we grew up on - and that is fun and special. You gotta see it to understand that one; I will not spoil it for you. And really - you know who is in - how can you go wrong with Stallone, Arnold, Bruce, Mr. Norris, Li, Crews, and the oh so beautiful Jason. And add in that Liam fella - so hunky. It is an action fest with lots of eye candy for the female viewer as well.

    Wow...seriously?

    by Santiago - MAKiiNA

    Once upon a time there was a group of filmmakers that did something special at the time. 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.

    Entertaining

    by ekhenry2

    Good movie for those who have grown up with these characters. Many cliches and references to the famous actors past movies that sometimes seemed contrived. The action was good. I was not impressed with the graphic fight scenes, but some will like it. Definitely, it's not a movie for children. It was nice to see that the "old" guys still got it and get work in youth obsessed Hollywood.

    Just another headless punch-up movie!

    by fijinz-all

    Too often we'd enjoy a movie if we leave our minds home, and this is another one. Don't bring any common sense into the movie house, and you'll enjoy the ride. The very main attraction are the hunky guys. I didn't understand why they had to write in the role of that female role. Just make it an all-male show. Then, likely they will be ridiculed anyway, knowing how America is these days. After seeing it, I was weighing, if I have to use a word describing it, shold I use "absurdity", or "stupidity"? Either one is appropriate.

    Better than the first

    by Brock Samson

    If you liked the first Expendables film, you'll love the second film. If the first film didn't live up to your expectations, the second Expendables film is probably going to be what you where expecting from the first film.

    Everybody that is anybody from the genre is in this film. It's like a big BBQ with old friends you haven't seen in ages.

    Celluloid Big Mac.

    by Oscar Wilde

    You know when occasionally you just have a craving for some unadulterated self indulgence like a greasy, carb and trans fat laden burger well think of Expendables 2 as a burger by another name. Not that it's bad but nothing you want to consume on a regular basis. Every now then you know what your getting for your money with no expectation of anything more than that instant rush of all that juicy, drippy goodness....well you get the idea... darn it...I think I just talked myself into seeing it again.

    Yummy Cheese!

    by SciFiStan

    The Expendables 2 was just the action/comedy ear-buster I was expecting.

    I know it's hard to put all that star power on the screen fairly, but Jet Li was left in the dust. Chuck was a jewel, poor Cobra, definitely a multiple view film to catch the many running gags and what happened on the right side of the screen while you were watching the left.

    There were several children under the age of 10 in the theatre which led me to scratch my head at the maturity level of the parents as the violence is very graphic, and the sexual innuendo comedy aspects were definitely intended for an adolescent/adult crowd.

    Hoping you might consider Clint Eastwood for a walk on in Expendables 3!

    I give it 5 old planes out of 5 old planes... Time to get another plane.

    Expendables 2

    by jhwooster

    This is a an unpretentious film that is worth seeing if you like the genre and the actors -- for many of us it is hard not to.

    It is as much a good-natured spoof on the genre itself and the prior roles of all the actors as anything else. I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it.

    by l3linkin182

    It's all the action stars I grew up with. It was a blast seeing them all interact. Didn't think it would happen but it was very enjoyable and fun.

    OK for a Second Movie

    by Aiken2Go

    Filled with lots of known characters, lots of tag lines used. Humorous, Kept me watching, though marveled at how they missed being hit with so many bullets flying around.
