Glorious crap

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2012)

A tour-de-force of explosive action and intentional and unintentional laughs. The first film worked as a sort of homage to those ridiculous but highly entertaining action epics of the late 80s' and early 90s'. Being a child of that era raised by TV and movies for the most part lol. It's a very cool thing to see these guys on the big screen and in a surprisingly better film than its predecessor. This entry pretty much delivers everything you wanted the first time around that you didn't get. This time around the expendable crew picks up a new member in the sexy but way younger Liam Hemsworth of the recent blockbuster Hunger Games as a sort of expert military sniper. As the film starts they are on a mission to save a Chinese billionaire and we are thrust into the pit of the action but upon returning home they discover they have another mission and something happens that leaves the group wanting revenge with a new female member in tow the action really starts and gets crazy violent and obscenely graphic. It's amazing that Stallone , Schwarzenegger, Willis , Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme amongst others are pulling off such insanely physical roles, my hat is off to them. They're acting not be so strong but it never really was they have charisma, loads of it. As the somewhat young-ins so to speak Jason Statham, Crews, Cotoure are around some amazingly physical especially Statham who is just amazing and Crews who has some of the funniest scenes. The movie is fun, crazy and surprisingly addictive. The expendables 2 is an explosive, testosterone filled action fest that delivers some amazingly entertaining good. It may be crap but it's glorious crap. 4/5
