Not even laughingly enjoyable or remotely interesting in terms of action. Don't get me wrong, I get suckered into anything involving: Dinosaurs, Explosions, Giant Robots, Predatorial Aliens, etc. But this just was so stream-line boring.
I thought I was watching something from Sodenburgh: Big names and that's it to keep the balloon up. I won't see this, I'm just surprised they are making #2.
Just saw the trailer and I'm probably going to fall for this bullshit again just to see Li and Arnold again. Fuck. The Expendables was all about the actors making self-references and satire. Was an awesomely humorous movie.
Can't wait for this one!

Van Damme, Norris and Ahnold? Fuck yes, I'll watch anything with the Austrian death machine.

yay +1 on the list of movies I will NOT see 2012. The first one was so ridiculously bad. I even went in with the thought in mind to just ignore the plot.
|
The thing is, the first one was actually kind of funny. It was ridiculous but it very nearly captured what it was parodying. But there's just no reason to make a sequel on such a weak concept except the continued fatigue of fresh ideas in cinema. =(

The first one was absolute garbage - it was meant to be an action film that reminded us of the 90s but it just looked like a 2011 action B-movie (similar to those crappy Python vs Giant Shark style movies).

I feel the same. The first one was basically a selfparody of the type of movies these guys were usually in. It was like a oneliner or a pun joke, it might make you laugh the first time you hear it, but beyond that it's forgettable. This seems like a bunch of guys trying to make money off nostalgia. I thought there was some "decent" bits to the first one, like the scene in the tunnel where all the bad guys are just getting shred to pieces. Or the (fully) automatic grenade launcher thing. But I'm not going to watch the second.

the first one was such a fun movie to watch, pure mindless entertainment
hoping the second one is the same!
|
I'm definitely gonna see this. I love old school action movies and although the first one didn't really live up to my expectations, I enjoyed it. I'm so excited~

You're crazy, motherfucking Norris, Arnie and Willis and Van Damme all picked up their guns again for this one and you think it will be bad????
To be fair this is targeted at males who grew up watching 90's action movies.
|
This looks like shit, like AWESOME SHIT! :D
|
How to make expendables 2 better than 1 (which was awesome)
cut plot by at least 50% more action no love story many cool one liners
Thats what i would really like to see
|
