What makes it different from others?

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fantastic!

Can't rave enough about these movies! Simply put... AMAZING!

We love the movies when the old guys get together: "Expendables", "Red", and "Rocky 24" or whatever. What this movie demonstrates is that it is not enough to get the cast together to rehash old lines (heck it would have been nice to have seen more of that) but you really need a good script and some good new lines.The opening sequence is a quick scene of the Expendables fighting Chinese communists. The good guys have round eyes and say, "Yo", while the bad guys don't...with 2 exceptions: Yin Yang (Jet Li) who is a good guy and some CIA agent who was a bad guy. I kept trying to figure out how his presence would figure back into the plot, but the film wasn't that deep. At one point Barney (Stallone) is running in the jungle, the next minute he is flying a plane? Did my theater cut out a scene?Church (Bruce Willis) sends our group on a new mission which includes the new guy Bill the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) who wants to make this his last mission. As a loyal Trekkie I already knew what was going to happen to the new guy in the landing party. This then leads to a "payback" mission over an improbable scenario written by someone who knows nothing about the handling and storage of weapons grade plutonium.The film attempts to force new memorable lines on us like "Rest in Pieces" which made me cringe. Arnold and Norris provide some cameo appearances with Jean-Claude Van Damme playing the bad guy...not just any bad guy but one with a Satanic goat tattoo on his neck. Seriously?Stallone has done better. For all the big names, this is a mediocre script.PARENTAL GUIDE: 1 F-Bomb, no sex, no nudity.

The expendables are back and its war baby so Stallone has given up the directors chair but still done the screenplay he is better for it with the all the 80's actors are back with more story to them as well as the newbies. Liam hemsworth id brilliant as the sniper from the army the team signs up for a mission that looks like an easy paycheck , but things go wrong for Barney and his band of old school mercenaries when one of their gets killed by a psychotic terrorist for hire van dame character . there is more one liners from Arnie wills and co taking the the pi#s out of their own famous catchphrases like Arnie says to wilis I'll be back willis say you have been back all ready so as they hunt in Austria they cut a swathe of destruction with all weapons at their hands going through enemy territory in a made up american city for the enemy to play in and barney meets up with the village people to find the men in an under ground and shut down an unexpected threat in the nick of time loads of battles explosions and try to prevent a weapons grade plutonium from getting into the wrong hands this 1hr38mins I gave it 7 out of ten not bad at all this is my 247 review.

Always bet on Dolph!No matter where you sit on the plane, get a seat by him because you just know if that plane gets hijacked by plain hijackers then he will be the one to take them out, one-by-one, all at the same time.Just about the time the drink cart rolled by my seat and I ordered some drinks for me and the panda bear I was smuggling from Ancient China the part of this movie where Jean Claude Valjean shows up showed up and it was the Greatest Moment Ever, including the moment that happened later, when I ordered another drink, coke this time, and then the movie was over and there was this black screen with the names of all the people who made it and were in it, and guess what? Dolph was in the movie! The second time...XL/XS
