Expendable 2 very expendable

Rating: 3/10 (23 November 2012)

Typically I think it would be safe to say that if you put together several of the top action movie stars in an action movie you'd not only draw a lot of viewers, but you might start a series of Expendable movies that could conceivably stretch out for years. I'm guessing that was the plan when this was conceived, but they forgot that a story should also be part of the plan, not just shoot em up, punch-em out, kick their butt action with absolutely no story to hang their white hats on. This 2nd attempt to bring these super tough guys together fails miserably as a movie, yes there is plenty of action, stunts, and killing, in fact I'd guess that over 200 kills alone in this last pathetic attempt to entertain. Here's the bottom line on this film, if all you are interested in is seeing these stars kick butt, this one is exactly what you want and need. However, if you would like to see a story with a plot, with a meaningful storyline to make the violence and multiple killing sprees have some bearing, forget about this movie and hope a sequel is NOT in the offing.
