The Boys Are Back

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2012)

Being a movie junkie, this film comes as a cotton candy for me.I rated 10 because it kept me totally immersed in it for the whole time.Mr. Stallone has my respects for making the industry alive and generating unforgettable characters and revenue.This time he was not the director,but wrote and starred,and I believe the whole films projects' (1 and 2), are his ideas.The addition of Chuck Norris and Liam Hemsworth are more than welcome.A disenchanted and disillusioned young former Afghistan 's soldier, shows us some contemporary air,or that the world is still dangerous and full of woes,or lots of tyranny and despotic rulers,and wicked souls... Norris-he fought with Bruce Lee..I never saw any of Mr.Lee's films,but many of Chuck Norris back in the 80's.And I believe if we don't account his fighting skills-a major winner.Then,at least, take a look at the " Lone Wolf Mc Quade-"a 1983 flick with David Carradine,as the bad guy and the stunning Barbara Carrera.He also trained people like Steve"The Cool"Mc Queen.
Expendables 2 is much better than the previous one and happy to know they have already scheduled another one.I'm so ready for it. "I 'm back!"shouted Arnie and we are glad he is,although I didn't find him in a good shape yet-but then, after all those years out,we can kinda of forgive him,for all his previous excellent services provided.Hope he'll be in a better shape in the next franchise.
"And now I pronounce you man and knife" Staham has accomplished so much in such a short time.A perfect match for Stallone.He can deliver punches and whatever needed action. The armored vehicles:Knock knock,Bad Attitude,and Coming Soon-boy,they were effective...
Scott Adkins-I hadn't seen him before,but then I learned o his success in the U.K. and his fascinating story of martial arts expert.That must have been a blast when he first acted and fought with Van Damme,his hero!By the way,Van Damme was pretty good and still can fight.Long life,Mr Van Damme,long life! There's a fight scene that reminded me of Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Arch when they are fighting near the airplane's propeller...but OK,it's just a recall of other fantastic action movie.
And like everyone else, I do have my Expendables 3 list: lose Willis-add Nicholas Cage as the CIA guy;
call Clint Eastwood and his memorable Dirty Harry lines;
of course we need The Rock-he's in an excellent shape-Dwaynne Johnson;
Vin Diesel,and please bring Paul Walker tagged along...
Jackie Chan,obviously.
I would somehow add two other gigantic stars:Cristopher Lambert and Rutger Hauer...
Vincent Cassel,and all his evil grim and feats...
Clive Owen as a classy hero and...
Channing Tatum -he can handle a machine gun in style.
There are other two bad guys:Ray Winstone and Vinnie Jones-Brits and well known to Staham...
And please,let's have a minute of silence in our hearts for Charles Bronson-a truly action films' hero.
