The Expendables 2 Review

Rating: 4/10 (21 August 2012)

The first one was about the hype and it worked well for the intended purpose. As you may know the hype doesn't usually last that long and so we're back to the real analysis of how a feature film should be made. Here it goes.
All the characters are not well developed they merely serve a certain purpose the rest of their lives is empty and lonely. I'm not watching Stallone or Li I'm watching the characters and what story they have to tell. You don't get that here at all- disappointing. They went on the hype and produced a very ambitious film, and it's overwhelming the number of superstars jam packed in it. I got the assembled part, but I don't get the plot it's very flat and straight forward. The only team member with a real story gets killed, off course you'll feel for him it's the oldest trick scriptwriters use to toy with the audience's emotions.
There are too many coincidences things just happen before you know it's over. The trilogy shall not work if they repeat themselves. I enjoyed it and that's how my analysis went.
