The Expensive-unable's 2....

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2012)

Oh dear!..what a pantomime of a film...As much as i love all these actors individually and back in their day...throwing them all in a big expensive action film together today and expecting anything good to come out of the geriatric old mix is asking just to much! Especially when you consider the terrible scripts, editing, story line used etc....All this film achieves is to demonstrate the most cheesy OTT unrealistic way possible to make an action film...Seriously if it wasn't for all the famous names this film would of been laughed out of the cinemas from day one!...I've seen better Indian bollywood action than this!..and we all know bollywood isn't famous for realistic action or CGI IN THEIR OTT STEREOTYPED MOVIES!....
Seriously I have seen more realistic action and more believable scenarios and physics etc watching my 5 yr old son play with his tub of plastic toy soldiers!...
Every possible form of tedious clichéd OTT explosion or impossible silly stunt was used in this film...Its just impossible to like it....its not funny..its not serious..its not realistic...its a mess!..the acting is wooden..the humour is embarrassing..its sad to see these actors being used like this..though i doubt they will mind ..after all its all about the money..they are happy..another pay day for them...at our expense! One reason i love James bond films is for the most part all his gizmo's and gadgets at least try and stick to the realms of possibility and believability...but the Expendables 2 its stunts and circus acts are just one big expensive joke....though its made its money already so i doubt anyone in Hollywood cares less..
These old guys are all in it for the money and ego..no doubt...but in the end all they have done is make themselves look silly by parodying themselves and making silly 'old' jokes about each other all the time!...they seemed to be unable to act..and their movements and stunts look clumsy or doubled!..they cant kid me that their ageing bodies (as good as they are for old men!) could swing around zip lines and have the 360° instant reflexes to react and kill so many of their younger enemies..in fact 1,000's of their younger enemies!...its just borderline farcical! I could go on but i wont...i give this film a 1 to try and balance back some of the stupid 10's that people have voted (probably the film crew and directors and families involved!)
