Review:
After watching the 1st movie, i came to a conclusion that this movie franchise is based on action stars coming together in the same movie - forget the unoriginal plot, forget the poor acting, forget the cheesy dialogue and forget any logic behind it. In fact, just forget everything and leave you brain at home and enjoy the masculine, adrenaline action superstars (current, upcoming and has-been stars) shooting bad guys and blow up things. So, is the sequel any different from the first? Hmmm .... let me think?? Nope, it is the same silly plot, poor acting, cheesy dialogue all over again. But i guess the success of this movie as well as the first is its action star power. Expendables 2 is able to attract more superstars than the first - with inclusion of Van Damme, Scott Adkins, Liam Helmsworth, and Chuck Norris apart from having meatier role for Schwarzenegger and Willis. Of course most of them just appear in cameo due to screen time limitation but i guess it is enough to satisfy action fans. Somehow i felt that the first movie is much better than this sequel although the action sequence for the 2nd is better. Overall, it is just a popcorn fare movie and are usually forgettable after the movie ends. It was however fun to watch so many superstars in a single movie.
Verdict:
Just a 2 out of 5 star
