yeah I've seen it.

Thought it was ok, probably 6.5/10

There are a lot, and I mean lot of cheesy one liners associated with the actors.

I liked it, it's by no means a great movie but I enjoyed every moment of it even if it was a bit predictable :D On the action movie scale, I'd rate it 7.5/10.

I loved it immensly now that i've seen it. Over the top action like we've not seen in years...

Though it made me sad also.. With most of the actors in this being 60+, it made me realise that after these guys stop acting theres noone to take up after them in the current generation of actors we have. Its almost like the awesome action movie is dying off :(

Isn't there talk of an all-female Expendables style movie? That'd be pretty sweet, and it seems like there's a decent bunch of current generation women that'd be more then capable.

Imagine Hamilton and Weaver as the 'old timers', Jolie as Team Leader and then round it out with the likes of Jovovich, Beckinsale, Carano, Rodriguez, Maggie Q, Yeoh, Lawless, Strahovski, Sackhoff etc.

Just watched it tonight, found it was much, much better than the original. But seeing my childhood action stars so..well...old on screen makes me feel old :(

Better than the first imo which I found rather dull. There was actually some good fight scenes in this one. Statham with his knives was always epic. "I now pronounce you man, and knife." :lol:

Chuck Norris...I just don't get it. And he has like the wimpiest voice. >_< Glad that Arnie and Bruce had more of a role this time. :)

Soooooooooooooooooo many cheese liners, was facepalm-inducing after a while. Good action flick though, very over the top, as expected. Great to see Arnie a bit more this time, but as they said, they all belong in a museum :D

Oh forgot to mention, i was pretty impressed with the "boss fight", it was pretty brutal :)
