Review of The Expendables 2 (2012) by Kevin L — 12 Nov 2014
What could have been a tongue-in-cheek, spectacular action show feels like a Botox commercial with everyone patting themselves on the back, Stallone most of all. Characters appear and disappear without reason, just for cheap laughs, after the initial sacrifice no good guy is ever in real danger and just blasts through the dozens of faceless minions that happen to cross their paths.
That's as exciting as a postcard of Des Moines, Iowa and as funny as a heart attack. The ironic appearances by Schwarzenegger and Willis hint at what could have been. But what we got is stupid, self-righteous dreck.
