"The Expendables 2" by Yojimbo

Sly and his team of fellow gun-totin' geriatrics is called in to retrieve a computer hard drive that contains a map showing the whereabouts of a mine full of plutonium. The Expendables is probably the film the term 'geriaction' was coined for and it was a load of obnoxious, braindead, gratuitous shit. For the sequel, we once again dive into the world of the American male mid-life crisis which contains the same cocktail of fat-necked has-beens exterminating the most villainous villains imaginable with a variety of weapons grade phalli whilst reliving the good old days of the Cold War. The original film's gleeful representation of some unnecessarily graphic violence was its downfall but thanks to the addition of some innocent villagers to protect, this is far more in the spirit of classic k...

Van Damme does the villain proud in this...

After finding the original Expendables a total disappointment I had to say I was really leery on the idea of a sequel happening let alone watching it. On that note I finally sat down last night and watched Expendables 2 and it was so much better and I really had a good time watching it. I don't know if it was cause Sly decided to hand the directing job over too Simon West (Con Air, The Mechanic(2011)prod. on Black Hawk Down) and went with focusing on the screenplay and acting?

enjoyable

overall a enjoyable and quite funny movie thats better than the first ,lots of action comedy moments. and great to see so many great actors in one film long may it continue. van damme was suprisingly really good as the baddie. better than the main cast.
you could easily shoot a dozen bullets through the script and knock aspects of the movie. i.e its corny the editing and story flits from one thing to another leaving you wondering. and the acting by the main stars is sub par for them. but nan yu was great and van damme very good also chuck norris was great to see.
it isn't meant to be anything more than a fun action filled movie to entertain and for that it delivered with a punch.
i rated it 4 stars as i enjoyed it , it made me laugh more than so called recent comedies. and enterta...
