I thought the first Expendables was an average action movie, which happened to have a handful of big names thrown in. Expendables 2 is the Expendables I wanted the first one to be. The action scenes are fun and exciting, and the self-referencing jokes between the cast make it feel like the celebration of action cinema it wants to be, as well as feeling much less forced and more like the banter you'd expect between this bunch of guys in the movie. It's not a huge improvement over the first movie in terms of being a good film in general, but I think it's perfect for what Stallone had in mind for the Expendables idea.
