I just got back from the midnight viewing of Expendables 2. For the critics, you dont understand that this is an action movie. An action movie that has more action than any movie since the 80s. Its not just explosions either. Well thought out story, didnt seem to slow down or put anyone in the crowd asleep even in the middle of the night. Even some descent jokes and one liners. Action with everyone in the cast, and not just a few lines by some from the first movie. The soundtrack didnt seem that great to me for this level of action, but music is more of a taste thing. Highly recommended, excellent film, and does not disappoint!… Expand

This movie is for people who appreciate the old fun of movies like Commando, Rambo, Die Hard and just guns, explosions and mayhem. I loved this movie because I grew up with the classic action films of the 80s and to this day still watch them. Not to be missed if you fit into this category. It does not disappoint. Yippey ki-yay.....M&^%&^$R F%^&*%&^R!

For those who remember when action movies were over the top and ridiculously fun, this is for you. As someone who grew up in the 80s, the golden age of action films, I enjoyed the nostalgic glee this movie excites. It's ridiculous and cliched, sure, but it hearkens back to that time when action films didn't take themselves seriously. Excellent fun.

The movie Expendables 2 was so awesome and thrilling at the same time. If no one out did not like this movie they really need their head examine from top to the very bottom. I was not boring at all and I got every dollar I paid to see this thrill ride of a movie. I think Stallone a wonderful job as usual and so did Jason.

are people crazy who don't enjoy this awesome chessy 80's adaptation action movie? get outta here and go watch mary poppin then. this is great, i enjoyed it far better than the first! stallon, schwarzenegger, stathem, norris, van dam, crazy they all worked, it was fun action, great humor, definitely recommend this to anyone who grew up watching there movies and enjoyed their past movie productions, i had a blast and look very forward to seeing it again !!!!!!… Expand

This movie was f***ing awesome!! Yeah this won't win any damn oscars but is that what Stallone and his badass cred are going for? Hell no! They made this film to give us exactly what we action fans wanted, all of our favorite action heroes and villains put together in one film to kick ass, and damn did they deliver. I don't even know what to say about it other than how badass and awesome this was. The Expendables 2 is a must see for anyone who loves action, and a crapload of fun put together in a matter of 110 minutes. If you're looking for an oscar nominee, or a drama, or a peaceful film, your looking in the complete opposite direction and i think you know that haha. This is pure fun and awesome. You must see this! 10/10 of course!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the actors showing signs of aging, this movie as they say in the 'Good Ole Days' is action packed from beginning to end. I seriously loved the 2nd Expendables movie than the first one. Get ready for a lot of one liners and tons of action from our old heroes. I can see people adding this one to their collection when it releases to DVD. Despite what the critics say, go see this movie if you were ever a fan of any of them in the movie. Just seeing Rambo, Terminator, John McClane and Chuck Norris with Weapons of Mass Destruction shooting the screen up at the same time is worth it!… Expand

The second installment of this action series is a significant improvement over the first. The additions of Chuck Norris, Van Damme and additional screen time for Bruce Willis and Arnold help. Adding a new director gives the movie a bit more depth than the original. All in all, if you are a male who lived through the 1990's, this is clearly a must see.

What on earth were the critics expecting from this film? Oscar standard acting? This is a fantastic classic action film that doesn't take itself seriously, and that's why it's great. The film is self-aware that it's cheesy with RIDICULOUS amounts of action that is just fun to watch. I walked into this film, wanting to see a cheesy-plot with Arnold Schwarzenegger doing one-liners that make you feel nostalgic and laugh. This film works because it self-aware of what it is and doesn't take itself seriously. For God's sake, Chuck Norris is in it!! (and he's friggin hilarious) If you want a good time, this film is great.… Expand

This movie is a love letter to hardcore action movies of years past. And it does it well. In fact, it's much better than the first film (which I also loved). I think this one is just shot better. You see the action more and see what these guys are capable of doing. Which is kill lots of bad guys in awesome fashion.

Plus, I mean JCVD, Arnold, Sly, and God himself Chuck Norris.... This movie was getting a "10" no matter what. It just so happens that it totally earns it. It was an absolute blast and if you like action movies I can't see how you don't have fun watching this one.… Expand

I don't understand the low reviews given out by the "critics". They obviously did not read the genre of the movie. It is an Action Adventure movie. So before you say "oh it was terrible, I couldn't watch, the guns made my ears hurt..." and whatever else that people are afraid to see in a movie just judge it for what it is. It's a cool action movie. It had some great lines, scenes, and a surprisingly decent story for a movie where it's main emphasis is the combat scenes and action. The special effects were some of the best I've seen and not to mention they gathered most of the best action heroes of all time to make this film. This movie deserves better then a 5/10 it's at least a 8+...… Expand

How about that opening scene?! Wow. The opening of Expendables 2 is like the climax of most action films now days. Stallone sure knows how to give us what we want to see. Who would have thought that the fight between Stallone and Van Damme would have been so bad ass at their age? These guys still give it better than most. Action packed is an understatement.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just what you'd expect for a movie like this, the story isn't very involved, Bad Guys do bad things and Sylvester Stallone and the rest of the Expendables (aided by Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and the Governator) kick their A$$es. Full of explosions and one-liners my favorite being when the Governator runs out of ammo he says to Bruce Willis "I'm out, I'll be back!" to which Willis replies "you've been back enough I'll go!" Overall just a fun movie, leave your brain at the box office and enjoy.… Expand

I went and saw this with a friend of mine and we had a great time. Its full of over the top action and brutal kills but also has a very well thought out story. I loved watching all the old action heros in the same place kicking the **** out of everyone who stands in there way and I hope the Expendables 3 will be even more insane.

One of the best action movies I've ever seen. It ups the ante from the first movie, giving us more of the best action scenes around. But what really makes this movie shine is the cast. The greatest action movie stars are here kicking butt, taking names, and dropping hilarious one liners. Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger are able to take part in the action this time, and seeing Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme in this movie is awesome. It's awesome and if you like action movies this is a must watch. I really couldn't have been more impressed.… Expand

This movie was exactly what a expected. Lots of fun, plenty of cameo appearances and cheesy one liners with loads of action and humor. I loved it, no it doesn't have a good story line or a well written dialogue but if that is what you are after you would not be going to see this movie in the first place.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Expendables 2 has a bunch of explosions, realistic fight sequences, and guns and gore galore just like the first movie did. However, this sequel added to that by actually having a little big more plot development and believe it or not, even more action heroes. Plus, all of the little inside jokes were absolutely hilarious. Hearing someone tell Arnie he'd be terminated or having Chuck Norris tell a Chuck Norris joke were just two of many that made this movie even more enjoyable to watch. Some of the CGI was poorly done but other than that, this movie was AWESOME!… Expand

Expendables 2 does exactly what it was expected to do, old fashioned action with our beloved action heroes. Aside from all that action were precious moments, being them comical moments or simply moments which add to the story, and yes there is a story, not the best story but the story everyone would expect. This sequel in my opinion is just simply better than the previous Expendables in every single way, and the references to the other films these actors were in are just priceless, also very good fighting scenes.

Bottom line: This is an one-time unique old fashioned movie, and should be reviewed the old fashioned way, why so much praise to movies like Rambo and Exterminator and not so much for Expendables ? They do the exact same thing, the difference is the release date and of course the mentality (and age) of the person who reviews. Does exactly what it was expected to do so 10/10.… Expand

Yo no puedo creer las criticas hacia esta pelicula, que esperaban de un film con un reparto tan grande. Esta pelicula no solo es de accion, si no tambien es un homenaje a las clasicas peliculas de accion. El filme en general es bueno, la historia tiene una historia muy simple pero lineal, y el resto... son explosiones y balaceras. Es buena para una ida al cine y para recordarla por siempre, porque muy pocas veces se presenta laoportunidad de ver a Stallone, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, Willis y el mismisimo Norris en una sola pelicula.… Expand

Some films represent a director's vision for a masterpiece. Other films are nothing more than the wild fantasies of boys and men. The Expendables 2 is certainly the latter. It's an example that not all films have to be epic masterpieces or avant-grade art galleries. As a sequel to the first Expendables film, there is relativity little continuity. But with plenty of explosions, gunfire, crazy stunts and the world's greatest action stars, you have the perfect recipe for a mindless action romp. With corny one-liners, a satisfying climax and vehicle stunts that you wish you could try at home (but probably shouldn't), The Expendables 2 is great for bachelor parties and mens' night out. To sum it all up, The Expendables 2 is like a video game come to life, complete with a throwaway story, quirky jokes and more lead than a pencil factory (even though pencils don't use lead anymore, but how else could I have made that joke?"). If you want some serious drama, then this film is not for you. If you want to see some multi-million dollar action stars doing what they were born to do, then this film is the place to see it!… Expand

HOLY ************************************************************* THIS MOVIE IS BETTER THAN NOTHING IT HAS VIOLENCE WITH YOUR FAVORITE ACTION ACTORS!!!Oh,but that is not why this film is so great.Its because IT HAS CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CHUCK...*********CKING******NORRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!best movie ever

This movie is for those who want to kick back and watch some real action stars.This movie is not for the "Girly Men," so if your the type of guy looking for the perfect story this is not for you. I`m looking at you, all of you critics! If you watched these guys back in the 80`s it`s fun just to watch them come together.It was more than just action for me, I also like the jokes thrown in about their age and the fact that they all come together in this movie. I hope they make a third, I need a third with Wesley Snipes!… Expand

Right from the spectacular and frenetic opening sequence, "The Expendables 2" makes it clear there are no punches being pulled in this tremendously entertaining sequel to the dark and explosive highlight that is the first film. Everything is just ten times more enjoyable here - the atmosphere is a bit lighter and more fun-loving, the action is just breathtakingly awesome, the sparse CGI effects are updated from the first movie, and this one actually made me laugh a whole lot. You just aren't an action movie fan if you're not squeeing through Jason Statham's bada*s knife-wielding. An instant adrenaline rush that you will be watching again and again . . . and again.… Expand
