Story: The Expendables are back and this time it's personal... Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them
Likes : Omg this film was class, move over the first film this was better,they went all out with this film, action for start to finish, fantastic fight scene, funny as hell one lines.Even tho this film has a classic 80s style, this film was awesome, the acting was just spot on, these actors in one film really work well with each other,Sylvester Stallone returning as Barney Ross was just awesome you could really see it in he face what happen to Billy the Kid played by Liam Hemsworth who was an absolutely awesome sniper in this film both actors were just amazing in there parts.Jet Li returns as Yin Yang,i find jet Li to an awesome marshal artist very close to Bruce lee in speed,you don't see him must in the film as he only in the film for the first 20 Min's of the film but it was a good 20 Min's of the start of the film complete action.The beautiful Charisma Carpenter is back in this film as well cameo role as Lacy Lee Christmas girlfriend from the first film look beautiful & sexy as ever.Jason Statham return as lee Christmas now i love statham attitude in this film special the fight scene in the church that was awesome but what i loved about he character as well was the fight scene between him & Scott Adkins a world know martial artist who plays Hector the right hand man of Jean Vilain played by Jean-Claude Van Damme.Jason & Scott fight scene was awesome brutal & fast with a nasty ending which made even me look away from the screen, i love marshal art fights in film it give it that edge instead of just punching all the time.Jean-Claude Van Damme character jean vilain man was he playing a vicious character no respect for human life what so ever, a very ruthless man power hungry & money driven character but the fight scene with him and Sylvester was awesome it was a Marshal artist meet raw power of a man with revenge on he's mind that was a dam good fight scene.Chuck Norris was just awesome in this film as Booker they call him the lone wolf because he like to do a job on he's own dam is he good at it as well.bruce willis & arnold were just class in this film as well.I love film like this good balance between the humour & action, special the humour with the one-liners & them taking the mick out of each other it show a good tight family unit that have each others back when there in trouble.This film will take you on a roller coaster of action from start to finish & has to be one of the most bloodthirstiest film Ive ever seen when you seen soldiers flying apart from 50cal bullets & explosions.I truly hope they make a 3rd film because is really is what action films should be like.
Dislike: Nothing wrong with this film to report
Overall : A fantastic action film,well worth watching,a must see at the cinema.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment, 10 out of 10 for action/fight scenes
A lot better than the first because of the loads and loads of carnage that were involved and also just how much more fun everybody seems to be having. In my opinion, fun is all that matters when you have a flick like this. Nice review Gerry.
ReplyDeletei loved this film the first one was good but this was better,action balanced with comical banter that was seriously funny,but this is what action films should be like.
