The Expendables 2
Dir: Simon West
2012

They learnt nothing from the mistakes that were made in the first film but thought a little extra Willis/Schwarzenegger screen time would make up for it. It didn't. I wont deny that it wasn't great to see the three of them together, the inclusion of JCVD was okay as the bad guy but Chuck Norris's scene was utterly embarrassing, it was a crap cameo just to get his name on the poster. That's really what the Expendables is, a poster with a film rather than a film with a poster. Where the hell was Jet Li? His name was on the poster but his screen time was under a minute. This is a prime example of quantity over quality with added dishonesty. This should have stayed as a 12 year old boy's dream rather than a reality.
