Quote from: Variety
Redundant, bombastic and cheekily self-aware, The Expendables 2 is also savvy enough to supply its own auto-critique.

Quote from: Hollywood Reporter
Taut, humorous and attractively packaged, the sequel is both fleet footed and engaging enough to captivate audiences with more than just nonstop action.

Quote from: ComingSoon.net
Significantly better than the first movie, offering enough back to basics action entertainment to make it well worth the price of admission.

Quote from: Nerdist
The Expendables 2 is causing me to rethink all I know, or think I know. Because on so many levels, it is inexcusably bad, and yet... I liked it.

Quote from: IGN
The action lover's dream team doesn't disappoint in The Expendables 2, a sequel that's bigger, bolder and more badass than the original.

Go watch it this weekend or Arnie will punch a pepperoni through your head.

There's a level of brutal, boring stupidity here that makes The A-Team look like it was written by Sun Tzu. It's all a big joke. Except it isn't in the least bit funny.

Seriously? It got stuck in limbo?

Ha, doesn't read good for it.

MGM ran out of money so it put everything in limbo. It's the reason why we had to wait until 20-freaking-12 for The Damn Hobbit.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on August 18, 2012, 03:03:48 AM: so, just like Expendables Uno, its not quite as good as you'd hope but still provides a good time.

a relentlessly cheesy, machismo-addled, cornpone, and weirdly sincere good time (just like part 1). Its well worth noting that the action scenes in this are shot and staged much better then in the preceding film. Visual clarity, I dig that. It makes it easier to appreciate Randy Coture slinging around people like rag dolls and Statham's knife porn.

I approve of this.

Quote from: Green Man on August 19, 2012, 07:25:40 PM
Am I the only person that thinks Linda Hamilton role in T2 as an action heroine is severely overstated? She didn't seem that tough at all, to me.

No more than Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, really.

Which is to say, yeah, somewhat overrated. But both stepped up their game in the last act.

Post by: fistfulofmetal on August 31, 2012, 09:53:17 PM: kinda surprised by all the praise tbh. i enjoyed the first movie a hell of a lot more. this was silly in a bad way and none of the jokes worked. there were a few good parts (Van Damme, any fight with Statham, the final fight was OK)

but the action overall kind of fell flat, the one liners were corny, and i felt bringing in Arnold/Willis/Norris actually was a detriment to the movie. didn't really like it all that much
