Expendables 2 – A waste of heavy resources



Working in an IT company I feel a lot of times that my company is paying the senior guys too much and they don’t deserve that much of salary for their work. I feel the same watching Expendables 2. What is the use of Arnold, Willis when you have to use them for 5 minute of total bombshell shit?

Expendables 2 starts promisingly, the excitement is back as the team go on full Rampage to save a Chinese someone that doesn’t mattered for the rest of the movie. Big combat trucks are thrown at us and Lee (Statham) is taking shots from his machine gun as we remember in Rambo 4, full bloody hell. They save Chinese and also Arnold, who was trapped there.

Bill the Kid (Hemsworth), a very sharp Sniper is introduced then who helps the Expendables escaping a giant water rush after saving the Chinese. And from here they are in there usual plane with Barney as t heir pilot, Jet Lee is gone after an initial burst and never returns in the movie. So his fans don’t go for the movie.

Church comes into picture, yes Mr. Willis looks good on screen but there is nothing he is supposed to be doing in this movie. Expendables have a new assignment and they are screwed, Bill gets killed, Barney is back in his emotional revenge mood. Lee gets someone to screw like Steve Austin in 1st part. Maggie, yes we have a female character too, who doesn’t impress you.

Boom bang next. Yes it was worth a wait I would say as the full team go on hunting the bad guys. This movie is not a modern day techie war James bond movie with lot of gadgets and all. It’s an old school movie of bullets and knives and combat skills and tanks and choppers and blood.
Don’t go looking for a plot, forget story and enjoy all these big heavyweights together fighting, who knows till when we are seeing them as they rightly said in last “We three should be in museum”.
