A word about the original: It was a stupid action film. It was also a whole lot of fun! I don't like action films as a rule, and I waited until I could see this one for free.

The bad: Well, pretty much everything. Sylvester Stallone wrote and directed it, so that tells you what you're getting right there.

The Good: The cast. That was the fun part, several action stars you always wanted to see together:

Sylvester Stallone.
Jason Statham.
Jet Li.
Dolph Lundgren.
Randy Couture.
Mickey Rourke.
Bruce Willis in a small part.
Arnold Schwarzenegger in a bit part.
Eric Roberts as the bad guy.
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin as the assistant bad guy. He even gets to fight Sly...and win!

Funny bits with Dolph and Jet.
Honeys (including Charisma Carpenter - Cordelia from 'Buffy').

And now they're making a sequel. It also looks pretty bad. BUT...there are even more fun tough guys.

Arnie and Bruce apparently have bigger roles
Jean-Claude Van Damme is seems to be the bad guy.
And...Chuck Norris!

This has to be worth seeing, just for the silliness of seeing all those guys together.

Yeah Expendables was over the top action flick but a good one at that. & Stallone is still in pretty good shape. Expendables 2 wont be going to the cinemas to see it will wait for it to come out on dvd

Watched 'Expendables 2' last night and it was every bit as cheesy and stupid
as one would imagine.

Then again, that's the whole point of the movie.

Have to say, the best parts were between Arnie & Willis.

Arnie: I'm almost out. I'll be back.
Willis: You've been back enough! I'll be back.
Arnie: Yippee-ki-yay...
*Chuck Norris takes Willis' place*
Arnie: Who's next? Rambo?
