Expendables 2:Dumb story and Incredible Fun.
31 August 2012
Expendables 2 directed by Simon West and a sequel to the 2010's "The Expendables" is an excellent action movie.

Although it has a dumb story,but yet Simon West makes this dumb story a fun-filled journey.

Story: The Expendables are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists them to take on a seemingly simple job. When things go wrong, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory, where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time - five tons of weapons-grade plutonium, more than enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary they seek revenge from.

Having actors like Sylvester Stallone,Arnold Schwarzenegger,Jason Statham,Jean-Claude Van Damme,Bruce Willis and Terry Crews,one expects Expendables 2 to have awesome action sequences and Expendables 2 lives up to more than your expectations,the action sequences are excellent.

The flaws of the movie are its story and Jet Li.The story could have been much better and I found Jet Li's character lacked meat.

The direction is marvelous.

Performances: Sylvester Stallone is excellent.Jason Statham excels.Dolph Lundgren is funny.Terry Crews is fine.Jean-Claude Van Damme is very good.Bruce Willis has very little to do.Nan Yu acts well.But it is Arnold Schwarzenegger who steals the show.Be it the scene when he comes in the tractor and utters "I am Back" or at the climax in the airport.He rocks! Liam Hemsworth and Jet Li hardly have any scope.

All in all,Expendables 2 is a fun movie with a dumb story.I am giving it a seven on ten.Highly Entertaining!
