Great movie that doesn't try to be something it's not

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2013)

The Expendables 2 is a great movie because it gives the audience exactly what they're paying the price of their ticket for. They want a shoot 'em up movie with a collection of all their favorite action stars of the past united in the same movie. It's not rocket science you just want all your old favorites in good action scenes in a movie with an R Rating with a bunch of one liners and memorable death scenes for the characters that do die.
You have bigger involvements in part 2 of the series from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger and that's an automatic bonus over the first movie in the series. Plus you also have some new action blood with someone like Liam Hemsworth added to the mix. Plus then you have the old favorites from the first movie in addition to adding names like Chuck Norris and Jean-Claud Van Damme
