Please wait Thu, Mar 5, Alternate versions In the version dubbed for francophone markets, the character Church, played by Bruce Willis is renamed to Chapelle. User reviews Review. Top review. Better than the first movie! Barney Ross Stallone and his rivet crapping tough mercenaries are neck deep in gunpowder as they infiltrate a terrorist camp somewhere in Nepal.
Shooting, stabbing, punching and frying pan fighting yes frying pans! The objective is to extract a rich Chinese billionaire for reasons unknown. However the Terminator has been bested for the time being by the terrorists and is grateful to see his ex-comrade. Simon West and his team of explosive experts blows up the place in a million dollar fashion as the mercenaries take off to the skies in the trusty old Sea Plane.
The first thumbs for this motion picture is its special effects. Billionaire contractor Church Willis approaches Barney with a mission.
To retrieve an article from a wreckage of a plane that has been shot down. Church adds in a member to Barney's team. A woman named Maggie Nan Yu. Along with Maggie and the rest of his mercenaries, Barney extracts the article from the wreckage only to have it bargained off him by a man only referred to as by the villain Van Damme who holds Billy Liam Hemsworth one of his crew as hostage. It has been too long since Schwarzenegger and Norris were on the wide screen.
This is the motion pictures second thumbs up. The seaplane involved stunts, the gunfights, the bear fisted bashing with knuckle dusters along with precise camera placement are evidence of well planned and executed direction and cinematography. It would be wrong if it isn't highlighted that this picture will be most entertaining to the fan boys of action movies who simply like nothing more than explosions, gun fire and boisterous slapstick comedy.
The third thumbs up come in a two-folded manner. First being that this movie is much better than the first one and the second being the cinematography is powerful and consistently rapid firing just like the 50 caliber machine guns in the movie. Statham and Stallone keep the testosterone flowing while Terry Crews is as always the funny big guy.
Jet Li is short lived in this installment and is truly missed by his fans while Arnie, Norris and Bruce slap out some dialogue that are humorously connected with those great movies of the yester-year.
Having been a fan of Van Damme since the growing years this critic is certainly amazed how the 52 year old martial arts expert still pulled out his round house kicks. If he had support or not is an entirely different factor, as for the audience, the star still is very able of kicking butt. After the close encounter with disappointment in the first movie many still have doubts about this as well. It explodes in your face with action and rarely takes a breather during in minutes of runtime.
Decently balanced with humor and compressed with Hollywood royalty the only miss is the shallow story. With this kind of "oooomph" pressurized into minutes it makes sense why Simon West let the reins lose on the story value. Personally with this kind of action one does not need a storyline to be entertained. A movie for the fan boys strictly. FAQ 5. What is 'The Expendables 2' about?
