AWESOME Action!!! If you like bang up, knock em out, blow em up movies, this one is for you. There are some funny moments and the actors work well together...Can tell they had a blast making this movie. However, the only drawback I had with the movie was the script. I thought the script could have been better. Each of the guys starring in the movie are stars and have had huge hits. These guys know how to act as well as use their brawn. So it was disappointing that script wasn't written/thought out better. Other than that, it's a decent action movie. Hope this review helped! :-)
There was the makings for a super-great movie in Expendables 2, with an all-star cast lineup of massive muscle males, I thought I would be in for a super cool kick butt treat! LoL! Yes, there was action & butt kicking & things being blown up but it seemed so contrived & planned & there was no plot & it was pretty predictable & pretty down right silly/stupid in some parts. Just like a book a movie has to have a plot, it has pull you in, it has to make sense, it should excite, surprise & thrill you to be really good. Example: when Schwarzenegger says something with a reference to terminiator & says I'll be back it's not funny it's goofy & you know the youngest guy will be the 1st to die when he says he wants out & wants to marry his fiance, that was predictable. And there's no surprise that Stallone wins the battle royal at the end with Jean-Claude Van Damme (who plays Jean Vilain), but I wanted the movie to make me BELIEVE that Stallone might not make it & I wanted to be a little stressed at least thinking that not all the good guys (except the new young guy team member)would still walk away at the end, but that didn't happen. Still, I gave it 3 Stars because these guys are a cool bunch of actors who've been around awhile & the beginning of the movie started out with a big bang of action & hey I'm sure they'll keep kicking it & we'll see an Expendables 3 & yes, I'll watch that too because I can't help not too!Read full review
I buy any movie that I want to watch for a third time, especially if I have to rent it to see it. I have all 3 of these and often binge watch them. Action packed, exciting and fun. Love it!

There are some great actors in 2nd part, where everyone knew what to do and when. I enjoyed both movies with a lot of action.

I purchased both this and the first version of The Expendables for the same price I would have paid for one movie. Being an action movie junky I needed to see both and back to back they do satisfy the craving. The second movie is much better camara work. The lighting in the original hurts the first flick of this series. It was definetly worth the price for these two movies as they fit nicely into the action genre for this junky.
