More and more ...

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2012)

I really envy those who enjoyed this more than me. I'm being serious, because most of the jokes didn't work for me. If you watch a movie like that (especially after the first movie introduced most characters to us), you know what you are up for. The first movie did have one particular scene (with Willis, Stallone and Schwarzenegger) that I thought was pretty funny. When some stars appear here and joke about their past (movies), some of the jokes just don't work for me. One of them has facts named after him and he recites one of those facts himself and it feels like torture (for me/the viewer).
But the action is shot well enough. Jean Claude van Damme obviously has a lot of fun with his role and he is one of the few who hold up their end of the bargain (again that's how I felt). Terry Crews and the rest ... of the (normal) crew should've been featured more in the movie. One of the best scenes being the Expendables talking about food in one scene. Stallone and Statham also have some neat talk scenes between them. This may sound ridiculous to some, but I do like humor that works in my action movie. So again, I'd love to like this more, but it's hits and misses. So while I did enjoy it in parts, I was expecting better.
