Nothing But the Big Stars Showin' Off

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2012)

The Expendables 2 was just as I expected it to be: guns blazin', straight out violence, bloody gore, and the big superstars showing off. The plot was simple and had some holes, but I guess the action outweighed any story that it had. The acting was kind of off for me. Some characters had some weird lines and were hard to follow, including some of the new ones. I guess I shouldn't complain when this movie is something that's kind of in the same ballpark of "The Avengers" concept wise where you have the biggest and baddest action movie heroes of the past two decades battle tyranny. Probably the only thing I liked besides the full-out action might have been how Chris Hemsworth's brother, Liam Hemsworth, faired in this movie among the veteran cast. Didn't think that another actor besides the obvious ones in this movie could have stood out in this movie. There's nothing really much else to say but to just get ready for another action packed, gore filled movie that will have you ooing, ahhing, and laughing at some times after hearing some of the jokes that go from "Really, you had to say that again," to "Oh wow, that was really funny." I'd rate it a 6/10 and recommend it if you really want to see a real life version of "The Avengers", except the superpowers are replaced with guns, tanks, planes, bombs, etc.!!!
