ronaldomessirroney I really don't have much to say about this movie as I don't remember it too well. All I remember was that Chuck Norris was in it and there was a fight in an airport.

Jon_Snow_21 This movie is so fun. It's just a bunch of action scenes. If you like straight action movies with really good action scenes and awesome one liners, this is your movie. It's not a masterpiece like John Wick but it's so fun to watch. The action scenes are really well done and that's what makes this movie so good. I'm young so I don't care much for the reunion of old actors aspect of the movie but those one liners are awesome (except that cringeworthy scene at the airport with Church and Trench).This scene contains three major action scenes and my favorite is the first. It's extremely over the top and extremely awesome. One issue I had with this scene is that they put the title of the movie right after! I feel like this really brings us out of the movie when they do this especially when the scene is 15 minutes long! It's really annoying. It is an awesome spectacular scene though. The airport fight was also really awesome. With a movie like this, you would expect no emotion and no suspense but while far from a drama or a suspense thriller, this movie has a bit of both. When Billy dies, it's extremely sad. The final scene where Villain and Barney fight actually has some tension. Barney is really beat up and you kind of feel like he's overpowered by Villain.This movie gets an 8/10 because it has no story. It's the best you could get from a straight up action movie. It's really far from a masterpiece but I'm going to say this again, it's the best you could possibly want from a straight up action movie with awesome one liners.
Tss5078 Sylvester Stallone had a brilliant idea that came to fruition in 2010, with an action movie that brought together all the big names in the action movie genre, but there was a problem. You just can't fit every big name into one movie and give them all significant screen time, so you had to have a sequel. The more things change, the more they stay the same, however, as this time, the story was a bit better, at least for an action movie, and the cast was a bit younger, but the basic genre was still the same. Barney Ross's (Sylvester Stallone) team is once again brought together to do a job, this time there are some new younger faces, to complete what seems like what should be an easy job, what they weren't expecting was to stumble right into the middle of a madman's master-plan. As I said, the story wasn't as basic this time, things were a little more complex, but on a basic level this is still you're typical shoot em up action film, with bodies and explosions constantly coming at you. What I did like was how they change things up a bit and didn't just feature the same actors, even though many members of the team were the same. The one thing the first film was severely lacking was youth, and I don't know about you, but I'd much rather see Liam Hemsworth fighting with his shirt off than Sylvester Stallone. All in all, the sequel doesn't differ that much from the original, but where it does, only helps the series. The cast is younger, the story is better, and the action hits harder. If you're an action junkie, it doesn't get more exciting than the Expendables and the sequel will have you craving a trilogy.
