Below Average- these stars must have been hurting for some extra spending cash

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2012)

I was expecting a pretty decent movie, what with all the action stars in this movie. I enjoyed the first one, so I admit, maybe I held my hopes a little too high. This movie was definitely not what I was hoping for in an action movie. It consisted of expert marksmen bad guys missing every shot, a fatal flaw in many hopeful movies that turn out to be busts. It was just too unrealistic. I get it, you don't want your stars to get shot, but come on! Really?! Only one of them got shot throughout the whole movie and wasn't even badly injured. And if course, what would a failed action movie be without all,of toe good guys shouting out unnecessary, melodramatic, run of the mill battle cries. Okay, your trying to be funny, but after the twentieth time, it gets kind of old, don't you think? I mean, one of the goo guys dies in the first thirty minutes?! Come on! And hen you have a gun, and the bad guy doesn't, and he tries to taunt you into hand to hand combat, just don't. Shoot him on the spot. Actually, the only good thing in this movie was the hand to hand combat. That and Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger's banter. At least that was not overdone. This is one of those movies where you already know the story because it has been done so many times. It's tired and worn out, Sylvester is trying to hard to be that young action star he once was with all that eager wit, but sadly, he doesn't measure up. It was almost as of this movie couldn't figure out if it was going to be a gory comedy or a serious action flick. Also the romantic side of Sylvester just did jot do. it was not working out.I can see how some might like it, and I suggest you watch it to generate your own opinion. This is just my opinion and mine alone. It had some great potential and room to work with, but it just wasn't enough. The story line lagged. Also, the ending when the girlfriend gets the letter. She was not nearly emotional enough. Your boyfriend died. Cry a little!!!
