The expendables are back!!

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2012)

An ensemble cast has done a great job in this all-out action film. Loved to see the gang of Stallone, Statham, Li, Norris, Hemsworth, Arnie, Willis in a single film. Stallone pulled off an excellent piece of acting this time around by making sure that he's off the directorial responsibilities. The film is packed with highly laughable and smacking one-liners not just from Arnie but also from (almost) everyone in the cast. Great to have come across the Norris memes as well. Would have loved to see more Li in action than just the starting sequence. Not sure whether he would be part of EX3 although it would be great to have him in the 3rd installment. Van Damme did highly well in the role of a villain. Put all together, much better done and executed than the first part.
Got a request for Mr.Stallone. Please do make sure that (Jackie) Chan ends up in the cast of EX3. I absolutely feel that would be the peak in terms of a casting coup for an action film.
My rating is 8 out of 10.
Thanks, Ganesh.
