Movie Review: The Expendables 2

Hey Drake’s Reviews it’s Rudy here, back one more time and this time I bringing you a review on one of the best movies I’ve seen lately, The Expendables 2! The second installment of The Expendables was just released in theaters and might I add it was an adrenaline induced testosterone binger. All I have to say is Chuck Norris! Thank you that's my review watch the movie. Kidding, the movie itself is a mixture of the action and comedy genre. There’s a lot jokes in this movie many of them at Toll Road's (Randy Couture) expense and others based of movie references. Aside from the return of the original cast from the first Expendables, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Terry Crews the cast is further expanded by the addition of movie legends Liam Hemsworth, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unfortunately all you Jet Li fans will be disappointed because Jet Li's character Ying Yang only makes a short 10 minute appearance. Additionally Mickey Rourke does not appear in the movie. Without revealing too much about the plot I can give our readers a vague description of the plot. Mr. Church portrayed by Bruce Willis sends Barney Ross (Sly Stallone) and the Expendables to retrieve a certain item from a crashed airplane. While at the crash site the team is confronted by the villain Jean Vilain played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, on a side note not a well thought out name. Jean kills a new member of the team named Billy The Kid portrayed by Liam Hemsworth. This gives fruit to the main story for the movie. Chuck Norris first appearance shows how much of a bad ass he is as well. Overall the movie is well done the action scenes are well executed. Also the introduction of a new female character added to the story. The comical aspects gave the movie a more casual feel demonstrating that it wasn't just an action movie but it was planned as an action comedy. Personally I thought the villains were at a disadvantage because Chuck Norris doesn't need to dodge bullets, Bullets dodge Chuck Norris. Additionally even if a bullet miraculously hit him he wouldn't die because Chuck Norris doesn't cheat death. He wins fair and square.

Drake’s Reviews Score 9.5 out of 10. For fear of Chuck Norris round house kicking us in the face though it actually gets a 10.1!
