Better than the first and one of the best movie of the franchise!

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2015)

The Expendables 2 (2012) it's really action packed and one of the best movies of the franchise. It is even better than the first one! You're blasted off in the first few minutes leading up to the actual story. Obviously, this is not a film with a great script or impressive acting. However, the story works well for what it's supposed to do! It is greatly entertaining if you are looking for an action packed movie loaded with iconic action stars like Stallone, Statham, Lundgren, Willis and Schwarzenegger. Back for War!
No time from opening credits, its straight into the action, which is more epic , and is what should have been seen in the first film but maybe due to a low budget we were subjected to a lesser affair The team work well, all of them and Hemsworth does really well as the new boy on the block and second time round and you kind of know these guys. Arnie, Bruce are seen more but are not seen as much as the usual gang, and Li is seen the least. Norris is great, seen here and there, great entrance and more of a cameo, and Van Damme makes good his role as the villain. Different locations than the first movie great performances by Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme with different roles that's what makes this movie the best in the franchise. I do like the First one but if I am ranting the best of the franchise I choose 2 in my opinion the best of the movie franchise I do like a lot the first movie the most that I have remember it was 2.
I was pumped. I'll admitted that. Best action movie all year. That's a fact people. The Expendables 2 is also one of my favorite action movies. The first time I saw this movie I loved it much more than the first one I did. This time the story is set in Europe and It Is American movie and I wish Jet Li had more screen time then only like 13 minutes or 15.minutes or how many times he had. Other things I enjoyed more than I did the third one. Like the first movie, I really enjoyed this one too especially getting to see Chuck Norris sharing the screen with Stallone and Schwarzenegger.
You pretty much know what you're getting with "The Expendables 2": a group of past-and-present action stars making wisecracks and blowing stuff up. And much like its predecessor, this film delivers on a truly massive scale. The plot itself is pretty straightforward. Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) has a relatively simple task for the Expendables, whose epic ranks include Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and, this time out, Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But when the plan goes awry, our heroes seek vengeance against the ruthless mercenary Jean Villain (Jean-Claude Van Damme). From the rapidly-paced action sequences to the ridiculously over-the-top deaths, this film plays out like a big-budget B movie on steroids.
One problem I do have with the film I forgot to mentioned: Why Did Schwarzenegger used his line I'll be back from The Terminator and Willis used his words against him by saying: "You've been back enough. I'll be back." Schwarzenegger: "Yippee-ki-yay." why were those lines written in the script? Why did those two actors had to make a fool of them self's? With both of their famous roles: Terminator and Die Hard-John McClane ? Why? I am sorry I don't like that those two famous actors make fool of them self's, by spelling wrong their famous lines! Why was no Mickey Rourke in this film? I loved him in the first film, why wasn't he here. Why was Jet Li only 13.mins. in here? Why was this film set in the Europe and not on American Soil? Those are just the main problems I just have with the film, I am sorry, but I am just been honest.
The Expendables are back and this time it's personal! When one of their own is viciously killed, Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and his band of mercenaries cut a swath of destruction to avenge their lost teammate and race to stop five tons of weapons-grade plutonium from falling into the wrong hands. This action-packed sequel boasts an all-star cast, including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. An awesome basic plot of the film!
I love this film to death and it is my favorite best film of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Lundgren, Norris and Van Damme. I am giving a 10/10 to this film because it deserves it and I just love it to death! I did enjoy it and it was awesome for me. If you're looking for a great movie like a critic at RT then you're going to be disappointed. Look at the cast and just see it for what it always was intended to be; a classic action movie with classic lines and even awesome action scenes.
So that was what I expected and loved it
