Yeah it's not any good. Spoilers! I went in hoping for a fun action movie with cool violence, and while the movie tried to deliver that, I suppose, it failed in almost all regards. The plot was meaningless, and Stallone's heroic rescue of the Generalissimo's daughter stupid. Real talk for a second: There were like 400 deaths in this movie, and waterboarding, and I didn't find much of it entertaining. And the B plot with the white bald karate dude "dating" Cordelia was terrible. Oh yeah since there's some wrestlers on the cast we're going to have a few wrestling fights while everyone else shoots guns and throws knives. There were a few cool action moments I'll grant, but like most of Stallone's mumbly dialogue - Written and Directed by Stallone - I found this movie surprisingly bad. The Bruce Willis cameo was OK, but the Arnold was just kinda weird. Don't see this movie if you were hoping for a fun, cool action movie. And oh yes, the end: Dolph's back on the team? WTF?

Yeah the second one was way better for reasons already stated. Also less Mickey Rourke crying in an action film.

The first one was subtle humor/drama, the second one was obvious humor/ham. To each his own I guess.

Expendables 1 sucked because it took itself too seriously. Expendables 2 just cranked up the ridiculous factor to 11 and it owns

The amazing thing about The Expendables is that the director of photography was Jeffrey Kimball. They had the cinematographer from Top Gun and Jacob's Ladder working on the movie and it still wound up being a bunch of dull grey corridors with shaky-cam and terrible CGI squibs

The problem is movies like Terminator, Predator and even Commando are still entertaining, while Expendables is sort of mediocre hope the fanboys watch it type of movies.

are wrestlers primarily relegated to 'professional wrestling' style action sequences in american films where they are featured because if so that just sucks because it seems like such a waste of talent.
