Great Summer Action Movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2012)

I liked Expendables 2 even more than the previous movie. Expendables 2 has just about all the great action stars of the past with lots of fighting, cheesy dialogue sprinkled with some humor, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. A deep philosophical flick this is not, but anyone considering see it should already be aware of this. I'm sure there will be the bad reviews decrying the end of civilization that people will actually see and enjoy this type of movie with all the real problems out in the world, but who cares, this is a nice couple of hours of escapism fun. Stallone, Statham, Van Damme, Wills, Arnold, Chuck Norris and others manage to pull off an exciting thrill ride that anyone who was a fan of their past movies should appreciate.
This movie definitely warrants the R rating. No sex or swearing, but lots of death, destruction, mayhem (but not too gory thankfully).
