The best action movie I've seen in years.

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2012)

People who feared the fact that EXPENDABLES 2 would be PG-13 need not worry, the film is actually rated-R for enough action and testosterone to satisfy even the most hard to please action fanatic, from the first frame there's a whole lot of action served up in one large dose, it reminded me of when I first saw John Woo's HARD BOILED, I thought if a film starts off with this much action at the beginning, what kind of action can we expect towards the end? Believe me this film does not disappoint, there is action throughout and like I said it comes in large doses each time.
There is also lots of humor, I found myself laughing at every joke and one liner that came out even Chuck Norris got the chance to tell one of his own jokes and it also shows that a smart car can be deadly in the hands of both Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Plot wise the film is a whole lot better, there's better character development and the whole set of characters also start to grow on you after a while and Jean-Claude Van Damme is excellent as the villain as well as Scott Adkins who plays Van Damme's right hand man.
Overall, action fans who have grown tired of the overly dramatic snooze fest that pass for action films these days should enjoy this action masterpiece immensely.
The first film on IMDb I give 10 out of 10.
