A sequel is never better than the original. The same can be said for Expendables 2, Sly Stallone's latest effort is regenerating the testosterone-dripping melancholic memories of the 80's and 90's. There's action from the get-go, with blood spattering scenes more appropriate in a 3D format, and the action never stops. And for those moments when it does, there's the obligatory rehashed taglines from Terminator, LoneWolf McQuaide, and Rambo. New characters are introduced, such as Chuck Norris' Booker, Yu Nan's Maggie and Liam Hemworth's Billy, but they are extremely under-utilized. If you're a fan of Jet Li and hope to see more of him in this flick, you'll be disappointed, as he's a non-factor to the storyline. Jean-Claude VanDamme however, doesn't disappoint. Of all the characters in this movie he's the only one interested in taking his role seriously. The final fight scene between him and Sly is epic, but all too short. As cheesy as this movie is, it's a heckuva ride and a whole lotta fun. Even the wife liked it!!
Pros great actors
Cons bad acting

Great action and comedy! Bruce Willis proved he was still the action star to beat. Malkovich was hilarious. How about Red II??
Yes, I recommend this movie.
