Review of The Expendables 2 (2012) by Jonathan A — 13 May 2016
One of the weakest action films I've seen in a while. Terrible writing, some horrible acting (especially from Schwarzenegger, who at one point botches one of Bruce Willis's best movie quotes) and some underwhelming action (like the end fight).
This film had the tools to be awesome, especially with a great villainous turn from JCVD (who should have been in the film WAY more than he was), but it mostly throws away all of the positives and it ends up feeling like self-parody for these actors.
If you liked the first one, you may like this. But, it's best not to take that chance (since there are so many better action movies out there instead).
