Better and worse than Expendables 1

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2012)

Expendables 2 in some ways is better than Expendables 1, and in some ways worse. The Good : The story about the computer on the plane etc is a better storyline than expendables 1. There are better opening sequences in Expendables 2 then Expendables 1 with a surprise twist! I will not ruin the sequence in it by telling you. Arnold plays a bigger role in part 2 and clashes well with Sly. The Bad: There are too many action stars in the film, which dilutes the movie. All the actors have only cameo appearances, which hurts the movie's flow. In fact, Jet Li is cut out of the film early. I believe because of lack of film time there is not as much martial arts in Expendables 2 as compared to Expendables one. Expendables One had a better final fight scene, and a better bad guy because the movie's actors had more film time to work with their characters. Conclusion: Expendables 2 is more entertaining then Expendables 1, but the film's actors can shine like in the first movie. I give Expendables 2 a 6 or 7 out of ten.
