Who would have thought.....

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2012)

That The Expendables 2 is one of the most fun films of the year. The action is, as you would guess, pretty darn good. The one liners are very funny as well as the movie references to Die Hard, The Terminator, and Rambo. The film definitely is a strong improvement upon the original and a great end of summer flick. Liam Hemsworth, honestly, steals the show and Van Damme makes a great villain. Willis, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Statham are all good in the film (not acting wise but action and humor). Chuck Noris provides comedy relief of an almost self parody of himself. Is this a film that's gonna take home Best Picture at the Oscars next year? Absolutely Not!!! But is it a fun film with funny one liners and an Avengers team of action stars. I give it an A and an 8/10.
