Better that the 1st one

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2013)

No flowing around Mickey Rourke scenes, no delay (except the bike meeting with Maggie..), just straight through action movie.
Trying to be old style and fake it, fails. Because you already have lone wolves on screen. You cannot fake that, just shoot it likewise. Very irritating.
It's better than the first almost in every aspect, if one could look out for it, anyways...
I enjoyed it and didn't scroll it (well maybe I scrolled to the JCVD fight, which was cool and cruel)
Does not qualify for a classic in my book. It has a very strong contemporary sequel feeling to it. But then again, even that Li was replaced 5min in the movie, it leaves open wide, an aspect of finally putting the classic characters back to their seats.
You have to respect that, even if it sounds tough, there it is. Who did it ? Stallone ? Good for him and the other 80's Christmas trees he hangs out with in his movie.
Arnie, Sly and Willis switching lines between their famous films, that I found very entertaining, clever little (big budget ?) choice right there.
I do support Sly and his crappy, old, cheap, true, heartfelt movies. I suppose in the end, muscle never really took first place in his movies, no matter what all the people saw on screen. That's what Sly has to put in again on his films. (If he makes it)
Have a good one.
