Review of The Expendables 2 (2012) by Patrick H — 10 Jul 2013

A pretty powerful cast helps this crazy action movie to it's feet. Bringing back tons of great action stars for another movie is awesome. The action was fantastic yet a lot of things look very fake and it seemed like they didn't have enough to make the CGI a little bit better.

I enjoyed that the blood didn't look really that fake when you knew it was CGI. There was tons of cheesy lines but you'd expect that and I think they did it on purpose. Great tributes to the old action movies with music and lines.

I was disappointed Jet Li was really only in the beginning when his fight scene was so entertaining. The final action scene was the best and Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger made an awesome tag team.

It was a little bit better than the first and a great sequel, I am very much looking forward to the third installment and excited to see who they bring in next. Let's just hope they fix somethings looking very fake.

Expendables 2 was almost everything you'd want from an action movie with a cast that are legends in the genre.
