Expendables 2

The Expendables 2 directed by Simon West staring every big action hero from the 80’s and part of the 90’s minus Steven Seagal…oh and there is one Asian woman in this film just to balance things out. 

Well…where to begin? Over-the-top action? Check. Over-the-top action set pieces? Check. Over kill and cheesy dialogue? Check, no make that a double check because this cheese is lying around in the tons, in about every scene and in all kinds of flavors. Large amounts of body parts being shot to pieces as they are complimented by so many squibs that the color red actually becomes part of the movie? Check. Talk of being in a museum? Check. Use of and commenting on dialogue from other action movies? Check. A resemblance of a storyline so as just to keep the action scenes flowing from one to another? Check. Aware that Chuck Norris would steal every scene he was in in your movie? I don’t think they saw that one coming, but he did that in every scene he was in, and it was wonderful. It was fun. It was a blast. I didn’t going in expecting much and was rewarded with a good old fashioned action movie, which was pretty much what I was hoping for.
