Review of The Expendables 2 (2012) by Captain_Kirk — 20 Aug 2012
This is everything you could have ever asked for in an action film: Tons of action stars, lots of explosions, bodies flying everywhere, and lots of one liners. Oh, and don't forget the cheese. Nothing makes an action film more entertaining than making it cheesy and over the top.
The Expendables 2, although not art, will entertain any fan of crazy action films. As long as you don't take it TOO seriously, even though I thought the film got a little too serious for its own good in a couple of scenes, you will walk out satisfied.
The acting and story are nothing worthy of an Oscar, but the actors and the writers, one of them being Stallone, get the job done. Some may gripe about how the film takes about 40 minutes to go from the 1st action scene to the next, but at least this establishes the actors and the tone that we're settling for in an hour and a half movie.
When the action happens, it's great fun to watch, and that's all that should matter in a film like this.
