7.4 for that????

Rating: 3/10 (5 October 2012)

I was compelled to write something because really this movie doesn't deserve a 7.4.
First, a movie featuring stars like The Expandable II should last more than a mere 1 and 30 minutes. In fact I just checked and it seems that it last as long as the first, but the first seems so much packed, while this one seems only to take off after the 60 minutes mark.
The action scene are good, but not as over the top as the first one. The Chinese girl is quite lame (what the hell is she doing there, zero credibility by the way, and completely unknown to me, I'm sure Paris Hilton with a big gun would have done better!), the romance is so bad compared to the first one (thinking about Statham kicking the violent ex-boyfriend or the pretty dictator's daughter saved by Stallone and Co.).
OK, Arnie and Chuck Norris expended cameos are quite funny. Dolph's character is also making things a bit more interesting. But after 70 minutes I just got bored. Van Damme as a bad guy? Not bad actually, but again, Roberts in the first one was so much better, even if he wasn't able to kick a knife in a man's heart as Van Damme did.
OK sure you need to see that at least one. But paying big buck for it isn't just logical.
