a wonderful nostalgic moment

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2012)

In the real sense this movie is not worth the time spent making it, but just to hear Chuck Norris reply to
"I heard a rumor that you were bitten by king cobra" Chuck: After 5 days of agonizing pain, the cobra died.
Made watching the movie blissful. This movie is a nostalgia put together of all our favorite heroes, even Bruce Willis took up the gun in this one, and Arnold had more screen time and used the phrase "I'll be back" a little too much.
As usual Chuck Norris was the ultimate bad ass, although he had few screen time.
Stallone went all the way to add more characters to the ensemble cast; Stallone had already made plans for the sequel before the release of the first Expendables. Stallone opted out of writing or directing the sequel, and the movie was done to a PG-13 rating.
Van Damme redesigned his and Stallone's characters' final fight. As he was unhappy with the scripted fight which involved his character running away.
The movie plot is similar to the first a simple job gone bad as Barney and his old-school mercenaries go on a mission when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them.
Then when it looks like lights out for the whole crew, when they were out of bullets and facing a whole army and an armored tank, Chuck Norris comes along and evens the odds.
He didn't really even the odds, it wasn't fair to the army and the armored tank they were outnumbered. As we all know it takes more than one armor tank and an army to take on Chuck Norris.
Now as per acting goes, this guys are all professionals and so they did well, but the script is a little out of it, the directing and the wise cracks was not part of the movie at all.
The thing is the movie is just for you to enjoy the nostalgic experience. A Third installment is on the way and i look forward to seeing it as majority of the people we see here will be back.
