First of all it should be noted that the way you see this movie depends on your expectations. People who say it was an awful movie, plot less, only mindless action, bad acting and things like this, may have expected a "Se7en" from "The Expendables 2" !!! That would be quite wrong. You should watch it as an "ACTION" movie, the name explains everything.

well, Let's start with the story. It's almost the same as the first one. At the beginning we see the expendables on a mission that lays the background for the movie. Then They receive a job offer from Mr. Church and at the end, they complete this mission (sounds like the first one, huh? Just their mission is different here). A good story for an action movie like this.

Acting is good here. I specially liked Statham's acting. He's really deep into his character. Others like Van Damme and Adkins are good too.

And the Action scenes: Well, after beginning to watch this movie with a friend, we began laughing after 15minutes, because all is killing and nothing else. Most fights are using gun in this movie (or Mindless Action as some people like to call it). There are also some hand-to-hand fights throughout the movie, all fairly well-choreographed.

And the two Climax fights: The fight between Adkins and Statham could be better, they both have great talents, not displayed superbly in this fight. and the second fight, between Our Old Frankie and Mr. Rambo: It was a great fight, some reviewers say that it was too short, but it wasn't. It was long enough and well choreographed (and I guess you know who as the winner?).

Others like Arnie, Willis, and Norris were good in their fairly short screen time.

All in all, It was a dream come true to see our old action heroes like Arnie, Stallone, Van damme, Willis, etc. together with younger ones like Jet Li, Adkins and Statham in one movie.

A very fun movie to watch. My Score: 8/10

I had been waiting for this movie for a while. But now that I've seen it, I'm disappointed. But that may not be the case with you. So read on.

Well, Let's Start with the Storyline. The Story is nothing original. We have seen it in many movies. A man goes to a city. The people of that city are under the Tyranny of a leader. and he Frees them from that ruler. I'm sure right now you can remember at list 10 movies with such a story (though each one has a few twists). That's the plot.

The acting is normal. But that doesn't matter. After all, Who watches an action movie (I mean a movie with such actors as Scott Adkins, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Gary Daniels, etc.) for its acting? I guess no-one. Plot and action scenes are what matter in such a movie. Acting comes after them.

So Let's go on with the Fight scenes. Scott Adkins' Character Called "The Man", "El Gringo" or "The Gringo" is nothing like the most famous Adkins' character, Boyka (Undisputed II and III). He's rather a Rambo for two reasons. First is that he defeats a huge gang alone (rather funny, Just as Rambo does, all of them wait until he shots them). And the Second is his fighting style. 95% of his fighting consists of punching. and he throws only a few kicks throughout the movie, only one of which is a Boyka-Style kick (a two-legged Front Kick). If you're expecting Boyka-type fighting style in this movie, you'll surely be disappointed. But If you like Stallone movies (specially Rambo), You'll enjoy this one. My Score: 4/10
