I swore I posted my review... I guess I just imagined it.

It apparent that Stallone and the studios listened to masses after the very dismal first film. Making better the action and cutting back on the crap.

So Expendables 2 is what fans wanted the first time around. This is testosterone dream flick. Lots of guys shooting lots of things. I believe Expendables 2 is the new leader in the number of bullets fired. I myself found this getting long in the tooth after the first hour. I found the hand to hand combat far more entertaining. Sure the guns and the bigger guns are fun, but to much of anything is overkill. Spread out the fun... The talent or, uh, characters are more than enough to fill the screen.

I guess it's expected now that Arnold say those oh, so clever lines (sarcasm). What others ate up, I found it eye rolling. I don't know... Maybe I just expected better. There really is not much of a story. Stallone has found another vehicle for action, explosions and gun battle. That's fine and I get it. I didn't mind spending the time watching this film. I doubt I'd watch it again though.
