The Expendables 2 (2012)
Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.
The first Expendables was alright but this is a definite improvement. Jet Li is in this for about 15 minutes and then he jumps out of a plane and you never see him again. I was surprised the most that Chuck Norris was in this movie. He doesn't seem to act very much ever since Walker Texas Ranger ended. Norris returns with a dyed dark black beard that looked horrible. At least if it would have been made to look a little more natural it wouldn't have been as bad. Seeing many of these aging actors like Jean Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, and Sylvester Stallone still making movies is something that can't be taken for granted. Sure they are all in their 60's or 70's but when they are gone they will be sorely missed and we'll look back at their old movies and remember how great they were. 7/10
The story is similar to the stories in usual this (kind of movies) movies. So this didn't suprised me much. Bad acting and bad scenario, but the main reason for 4 star rating are all these legends who came together and made an epic movie. The movie makes you laugh and smile all the time. The previous one wasn't so epic, because we saw just Stallone all time and other (not so legendary) actors. Just because of actors, this is movie is one of a kind and we wont see this kind of movies very often. I think we'll just have to wait another 40 or more years and then new legends will make a new movie, but Norris, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme and Willis are legends who will never be forgotten. This movie says goodbye to all these legends and I say goodbye to all them too.
