Slightly better

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2012)

The original "Expendables" was meh. And this follow-up is even more so. The Trouble with these movies is that what they promise is all down too a few scenes. The scenes where all the 80's stars we want to see together are in fact together, are exactly what we expect them too be this time round. But the rest off the movie has trouble living up too these moments.
This sequel is more in the right direction, and gave me what I expected (but wasn't really given) from the original. It is cool too see Sylvester Stallone share the screen with the likes off Dolph Lundgren and Jet Lee. But way more cool when he's up against Jean Claude Van Damne as a bad-guy, or Chuck Norris (In the films second best scene) as a new super hard allie. The Cool factor almost goes through the roof though when we see Stallone share the screen in a huge airport shoot-out alongside none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. This scene alone makes the movie seriously memorable too anyone who ever watched an 80's/90's action movie.
These moments aside though its a pretty standard fare. The action sequences are way over the top, and the funny/cheesy one liners will hit as often as they miss. The Script and the story have been improved. But judging by the first flicks standards, that wouldn't off been too difficult too pull off.
