I did like the sequel, but all the gaping plot holes and rampant stupidity stood out to me and sometimes took me out of the movie. <br /><br />Also, the opening should have been swapped out with the ending. The opening sequence was pretty damn spectacular.<br /><br />There were things about the first I didn't like, but as a movie, it flowed much better and actually made sense.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-8532376904288374492012-08-30T10:14:15.915-07:002012-08-30T10:14:15.915-07:00I'm usually a sucker for Simon West, enjoyed m...I'm usually a sucker for Simon West, enjoyed many of his movies <i>(Con Air, The General's Daughter, The Mechanic and even the When A Stranger Calls remake)</i>,<br />but the first Expendables was such a terrible shitfest, I decided to skip the sequel, although the trailer looks fun.<br /><br />Waiting for the upcoming Arnie-flick THE LAST STAND which looks just awesome.Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-72732034788250468302012-08-28T22:02:49.106-07:002012-08-28T22:02:49.106-07:00Thanks, dtmmr.

I liked it, too, but I am always going to point out what I like, or don't like in something and for a movie that cost $100 million, those gaping plot holes were just sloppy; and more Hollywood movies seem to be "making it up as they go along" these days. venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-70571831674743606702012-08-28T15:33:30.892-07:002012-08-28T15:33:30.892-07:00Solid review.

It’s a bad movie but it’s so much fun to watch and it’s very easy to defend because everyone involved was in on the joke. And that’s all that mattered to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-51191614285609558812012-08-28T11:52:08.113-07:002012-08-28T11:52:08.113-07:00Have a good time, Kaijinu!
