Breathtaking.

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2012)

As a young boy I loved the movies of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis and so on. So a movie like this is a dream. Action was great, fighting scenes were breathtaking. I am glad I came out of the cinema alive. Stallone is still great. My wife came with me to see the movie in cinema and asked me why these old men still make movies. Well, I don't know, but I'm glad they do.
Gunnar (Dolph Lundgren) was funny. Because of him the movie was watchable for the female audience. Li, where the hell was he? Stratham was awesome. Willis and Schwarzenegger were funny, but what happened with Scharzenegger's hair dress? Did his hair explode too? I did not like Liam Hemsworth in the movie. In the beginning he was O.K. but then sudden he had this story about his dog or something and it got very boring. I don't know if it's because his acting or because of the lame story of maybe the chemistry between the lame acting and boring story, but it didn't work out well. I know this could have been better and if it was better, you would get more attached to this boy as a viewer. Jean Claude was great. Norris was good, I did not expect this of him, but he was good. Not good enough to watch all his movie he made that I haven't seen. He wasn't that good enough.
The movie had great one-liners. At the end the actors came on screen and for a moment you get to see their skulls. That was very beautiful!
Now there are rumors about a third movie, and there should be a third movie. Now there are also rumors to have Steven Segal attached to it. Oh please don't! Except when he is going to play the role of a pony-tailed woman who gets kidnapped and has to be saved by the men who really do have muscles. Making expendables was a good idea, making expendables 2 was even greater. Don't waste it on Segal in the third. If I may suggest someone who I would like to see, more than Segal, I would prefer Jean Reno (Leon 1994).
