 Expendibles 2
Loved it. The great 80's action homage it is meant to be. If you look hard enough you can find all kinds of faults, but really, what's the point?

 Re: Expendibles 2
I'm seeing it tomorrow. Looking forward to it too. Leave the brain at home, see some good old-fashioned 80's action flick.

 Re: Expendibles 2
If tomato sauce equals violence and cheese is cheese, then this movie is pizza. And I love pizza especially with extra violence and cheese!

 Re: Expendibles 2
I was well entertained. Good thing they added Van the Muscles from Brussels Damme.

 Re: Expendibles 2
If they'd have cut 1/2 of Crews' lines, it could've been much better. Also, the 2 or 3 genuinely funny moments in the movie were invariably tromped on by a gratuitous tag line intended to be a catch phrase. Even the oh-so-meta Chuck Norris telling a Chuck Norris joke was spoiled by his wooden delivery.
But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it.
And, hell! VanDamme might've been the best actor in the bunch!
