The Expendables 2

When the Original Expendables movie came out, I was amused at the cast list, it seemed that every 20th Century has been Action Hero wanted one last big pay day I mean seriously, most of this cast should have retired before the turn of the century. But now the Expendables 2 has not only got the cast list from the previous film, it has added a couple more. All it needs is Steven Seagal and you might have the complete set!

There are several very funny one liners, especially when they are taking the piss out of themselves. Bruce Willis telling Schwarzenegger "I'll be back" to which Schwazenegger replies "Yippe kay yee"  and at the end when Stallone says "That thing belongs in a Museum" to which Schwarzenegger replies "We all do"


They know this is pushing it a bit far, and this film does not take itself at all seriously, so I am willing to forgive a bit. but you really have to suspend belief in a lot of the rules of physics to actually get through a lot of the holes in this movie. You end up with lots of questions such as "Where did those weapons suddenly come from?" or "How did they know where they were going?" and "How did they catch up with them so fast?"

The Action sequences are laughable, there is no way any human being could really do what Jet Li does in the opening sequence, its so over the top.

So if you are looking for a believable action movie, you are in the wrong place. however for entertainment value and plenty of laughs at the expense of your favourite 20th Century action hero, maybe this is worth a watch. 5/10
