    Expendables 2 ......... 3 .............. 4

    by Darkola

    I'm going to start by basing this on the first movie, if you liked the first, then your going to like this one also, if ya hated it, then dont bother with this one, its really that easy. This brings back many of the characters from the first film plus a few extra, all of whom are starting to show their ages more and more. I myself will say that I really enjoyed this movie, it takes you back to older tv series, programs like the A-Team, where its kinda cheeseball, but at the same time, theres alot of action, just a tad of a story, and many one liners to keep you chuckling throughout. The filming of this also appears a little grainy also, I'm thinking they did that on purpose to give it more of the 80's tv look also. As I said, if your out for alot of action, cheeseball as it may be, with a mix of many of our favorite actors from the past, then go see this. I'd give this 2 1/2 stars out of 4 myself, I did enjoy it and look forward to part 3. Enjoy :)

    End To End Action With Lots Of Humor.

    by Alon Patterson

    All the heroes in one film, what more could an action junkie want? Maybe a good story, excellent visuals, realistic sound, lots of stunts and oh yes, ACTION. This is one of the finer adrenaline movies ever made. Even though it's pretty much an excuse to get all the guys together in one film, it doesn't disappoint the audience for a second. It's worth its ticket price. See it. You won't be disappointed.

    Expendables 2 is Non-Stop Action

    by flixfan52

    Expendables 2 is non-stop action from the opening to the end. It's great seeing Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Jason Statham..and the list goes on...even Jet Li...not to mention some pretty good martial arts scenes too...Will they be too old for Expendables 3?

    Expendables 2

    by

    Movie was great, Arnold, Willis and Stalone were saying each other's tag lines, the action was great, and the scene to introduce Booker was awesome. This was a great movie. Wish they could have done more with Norris and seen Norris do some Martial Arts, but his character was the best out of the whole movie.

    Testoneronic Comedy...is that a word?

    by ParadoxAlone

    Straight to the point, good, fun movie. Graphic at times, and quite silly at others, I enjoyed the awesome ensemble of action stars in this film. Great job guys. Thanks for a good time.

    X-2 Back for War

    by bikerpappy

    This is one of the best sequel movies to come out so far this year. No matter who your favorite action star is from the last 4 decades, you will find yours in this one. Van Dam played one of his best bad guy roles ever. And to see lone wolf was a real treat too. I give it 5 stars. I liked the use of humor towards each other too. A must see for any action fan!!!!

    "Never Mess with a Classic"

    by

    One of my favorite lines from the film. And with this cast, E2 is DEFINITELY a classic. The one-liners are fun as are the jabs at each of the action stars previous rolls. (Arnold and Bruce's dialog in the final fight scene is definitely worth the price of admission.) And as sick as it sounds, it was nice to actually see blood when the bullets struck. Not something you see in today's films, which are just as if not more violent. Oh, and Jason S is poetry in motion in his fight scenes!

    Action, Action and more Action

    by aketig13

    Expendables 2 was off the gold chain. Pure excitement, adrenaline, and comedy. Everyone of the actors was awesome. Loved it! If you are into seeing terrific fighting sequences, body parts scattered everywhere and great comedic timing from all of the action heroes, Then this movie is a must.

    Exciting Flash Back!

    by tmwnsu

    I really liked this movie, but I think the first one was better. There were just too many stars who all needed time in the spot light. I wish I could have seen more of Randy's flying elbows.

    Fun film for Boomers who loved the 80's action heroes

    by

    Expendables 2 is back and bigger than the first one. All the usual characters are back - Barney, Christmas, Caeser, Church, etc. - but now you get the perfect villain in Jean Claude Van Damme. Sly and the guys have to capture a disc before it falls itno the wrong hands. Chaos and explosions and fights ensue when JCVD does manage to get the disc, whcih holds the location of plutonium in a Russian mine.
    Best lines in the film are delivered by Chuck Norris (the "lone wolf") and Bruce Willis (Church, who decides he needs to get his hands dirty this time and does some amazing staright-faced lines with Arnold in a Smart Car).
    The film won't win any Oscars, but it is pure entertainment where good goes after evil. There is a fantastic finale fight scene between Sly and JCVD where the latter gets to do his famous 360 degree kick.
    Go see it and have a fun afternoon at the movies!

    Meh...

    by

    My friends and I went to see Expendables 2 at the midnight showing. The theatre wasn't very full, so that should have been my first indication of how the night would go. I am usually down with gratuitous violence and "things that go boom" in my movies, but this is one I would have rather waited until a "decent" hour to see.

    Almost a must go...

    by

    If you're a guy that likes action movies...this is definitely a must go.

    If you're a guy's girlfriend and he likes action movies...still a must go.

    If you're someone who critiques the reality of a movie ... don't bother.

    All said, this movie had me and my best friend laughing out loud at the ridiculously awesomeness of the action sequences. And seriously...everybody is in it. It is pretty damn awesome!

    Expendables2

    by jwtabler

    If you like fast action movies with some wisecracking jocks, then by all means, go see it. If you are a more serious movie goer looking for character develoment, solid acting and plot development, then DUH!! forget it.
