The Expendables 2 (2012)

Lack of good storyline.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Expendables 2 is completely ridiculous and totally cheesy - yet I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this movie. Yes, the acting is terrible. Yes, the dialogue is worse. Yes, the characters are flat, and no, the plot doesn't make sense, but there's something irresistibly entertaining about this chaotic homage to action movies of the past. This movie is pure, adrenalized fun, and it's much better than the first installment.

The Expendables 2 is the best of the trilogy.I like the cast a lot but the plot is still weak and could be a lot better . I would like to see another sequel (Expendables 4) where they make a better plot and develop a better script, this would be nice to watch

The expendables are back and its war baby so Stallone has given up the directors chair but still done the screenplay he is better for it with the all the 80's actors are back with more story to them as well as the newbies. Liam hemsworth id brilliant as the sniper from the army the team signs up for a mission that looks like an easy paycheck , but things go wrong for Barney and his band of old school mercenaries when one of their gets killed by a psychotic terrorist for hire van dame character . there is more one liners from Arnie wills and co taking the the pi#s out of their own famous catchphrases like Arnie says to wilis I'll be back willis say you have been back all ready so as they hunt in Austria they cut a swathe of destruction with all weapons at their hands going through enemy territory in a made up american city for the enemy to play in and barney meets up with the village people to find the men in an under ground and shut down an unexpected threat in the nick of time loads of battles explosions and try to prevent a weapons grade plutonium from getting into the wrong hands this 1hr38mins I gave it 7 out of ten not bad at all this is my 247 review.

You have to know something before watching this movie.You have to know what are you going to watch.I read some reviews here and I got confused.Were guys expecting to see something classy,with people wearing costumes,talking politely about philosophy or world peace while in the background we hear "swan lake"?If this is the case,this is certainly not a movie for you.Watching this,I was expecting exactly what I was given.Full action packed film,superficial and violent bloodshed and explosions.I mean,you get conversations that barely make any sense,fancy karate gimmicks,knife acrobatics,vadam signature kicks,Chuck Norris destroying a whole army with his smile,car doors getting ripped out by mere hands,plane-landings in plutonium mines,tons of explosions,brutal jokes between the most brutal faces of cinematic history all in one....What's not to love?I enjoyed the action and laughed quite a bit.The story was very simple-maybe a bit poor even-but you do not watch a Stallone-Norris- Arnold-Willis-vadam-statham etc etc movie for it's rich scenario.It gets an 8/10 from me.It's superficial movie but since you watch it for the action,you won't be disappointed.
