Despite it's flaws, The Expendables 2 is incredibly entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2012)

The Expendables 2 is a wildly fun action comedy to finish off the summer blockbuster season. The cast is incredibly charismatic, With Schwarzenegger and Norris finally making some hilarious appearances. Nan Yu is the only part of the cast that is strange; she is a double edged sword. While her moves are brutal, but her acting is static. The action is very well orchestrated, featuring incredible shooting galleries and fisticuff fight sequences. It's everything you've seen before, but nothing on the same scale. While the plot is fairly simple and there are some pacing issues, there's no reason to pass up on this action adventure. It's packed with awesome action, has tons of great jokes and one-liners, and features memorable performances from the colorful cast of characters. Despite some major blemishes, this is a mission worth taking.
