Great sequel

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2019)

The Expendables 2 is a great sequel that actually improves upon the original film and fixes it's flawes with a much better villain and more screen time for both Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The returning cast are once again great and have really good chemistry. The music by Brian Tyler is fantastic. It's surprisingly funny. Jean Claude Van Damme is a great villain and Chuck Norris is an extremely fun and welcome addition. Simon West's direction is also really good, with plenty of well filmed and extremely enjoyable action sequences. It's only brought down by one of the scenes in the first act lacking the emotional weight it could have.
