  Barney Ross: "I've heard another rumor, that you were bitten by a king cobra?"
  Booker: "Yeah, I was. But after five days of agonizing pain, the cobra died."

  Tennis player Novak Djokovic filmed a cameo for the airport shootout for free. However his scene, which involved him beating down terrorists with his racket, was cut. You can find parts of the scene in the gag reel on the blu-ray, although I wish they included the full scene in the deleted scenes. Chuck Norris unretired at the age of 71 for this movie. Also, Chad Stahelski (John Wick director) helped Simon West direct this. Overall, I slightly prefer this over the first one since the cast is even more ridiculous…

  Review by Tentin Quarantino ☭ ★ 13

  Is there a reverse equivalent of the Oscars? If so, here's my ballot:
  
  Outstanding Performance in a Motion Picture (Drama) - Jean-Claude Van Damme

  Outstanding Performance in a Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy [unintentional]) - Arnold Schwarzenegger

  Worst Actor - Terry Crews

  Worst Supporting Actor - Terry Crews

  Person Who Gave Such A God Damn Awful Performance, It Can't Rightly be Called 'Acting' - Randy Couture

  Most Understandable Accent - Jason Statham

  Least Likely To Succeed - Terry Crews

  Most Likely To Have Had His 4-Year Old Grandson Write The Dialogue - Sylvester Stallone

  Winner of the 'What The Fuck Are You Doing In This Movie?' Award - Jet Li

  Best Cameo - Chuck Norris

  Most Likely To Have Been…

  Review by Rafael "Parker!!" Jovine ★★★★ 8

  Starring: The Bold, Bald, Gruff Action Man Jason Statham

  This is it.

  This film delivers on every single one of my hopes and expectations. The sequel ups the ante with bigger explosions, stakes, action set pieces, and the involvement of our legendary heroes, all while referencing their previous iconic films in numerous ways (in scenes, fight choreography, and banter) that some viewers could find grating but which I really enjoyed. The cinematography has also vastly improved; it now has a more cinematic, and even stunning, quality. Not to discredit Stallone, but Simon West shows why he is a superior director than Sylvester right from the get-go.

  All in all, fans of the action genre, and especially those who grew up…

  Review by Shreesh ★★★★ 2

  A better, funnier, violent and entertaining sequel that was largely fun. The story and dialogues were predictable and cliche as hell but man I would be lying if I say I didn’t have fun watching this.

  The cast is amazing here, seeing all these action stars in a single scene had me smiling like a kid. The jokes are self aware and it made it more enjoyable. The third act was pure unadulterated joy. Chuck Norris had me rolling 😂. Arnold and Wills were an amazing team. Stallone and Statham were awesome as usual. Rest of the huge cast were fun too.

  Yes, it is cheesy, illogical and ridiculous but I really didn’t care.An outrageously entertaining watch!

  A solid 75% for this.

  The very best of these Stallone-driven "80s, 90s & 2000s action hero/tough guy mash-up" movies thus far. Opens with a banging rescue mission, concludes with an even better airport set piece, has Chuck Norris telling a Chuck Norris joke, has Bruce Willis & Arnold Schwarzenegger whipping around and performing vehicular combat in a Smart Car, and it graces us with the fabulous moving image of Jean-Claude Van Damme spin-kicking a giant knife into a man's heart. Fucking rad. They actually got the formula right with this one!

  Review by The Greek Geek ★★★½ 2

  Gets an extra half star for the cringe one liners, inside jokes and references. Needs more Van Damme and Scott Adkins

  Review by CinemaCl🎃wn ★★★½ 6

  Bigger, better & bloodier, The Expendables 2 is an explosive sequel to its predecessor that improves upon the original in almost every department & is a worthy addition to the newly established franchise. Continuing its homage to past action classics, the film hugely improves on the action, violence & humour aspects and the new recruits to its ensemble cast are unquestionably a welcome addition.

  The Expendables 2 continues the journey of the notorious band of elite mercenaries who are reunited for a new assignment which seems like a seemingly simple operation but when one of their own is murdered on the job, the mission evolves into a quest for revenge as the group tries to avenge their loss by going one on one…

  Review by Tyler Whitmore ★★½ 1

  Cheesy one-liners, endless callbacks to action films from earlier in their careers, and nonstop silly action. Fun movie!

  Seeing a certain person die in this made me happy. He didn't have the juice to be a part of the gang anyways.

  5.2/10 for 2.5 stars.

  "Ironic. Here we are you and I, and your knife. You're going to die, like him. What was his name? What did you call him? What does it matter?" - Jean Vilain

  Round 2. Now how do you go about making a sequel to The Expendables that can live up to the very high standards (a trace of loving sarcasm can be found in this statement) set by the first one? Easy. The blueprint is already there, all you have to do is bring everyone back, amp everything up, give Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis more screen time (unfortunately Jet Li's will have to be reduced but that's understandable), bring in Chuck Norris for a scene-stealing moment and make Jean…

  Review by CinemaCollect ★★½

  It's fine. The action is probably most the entertaining, but this is a great example of more doesn't mean better. Characters come and go, and they speak in way only for nostalgia, but it ends up just not making sense.

  Review by Biddy Doe's Reviews ★★★★

  Fuck Yes now that's what I'm talking about a massive improvement from the first film.
  Van Damme as the bad guy was genuis
  Chuck Norris is Chuck Norris
  And so many cringe one liners inside jokes and references that paid off big time
  Overall pure ACTION Entertainment so fucking good.
