Cine-Verse! The Expendables 2 (2012)



Bullets and muscles and who do I see?
Why, it's Willis and Norris and Statham and Li.
Sylvester and Arnold and Dolph and Jean-Claude,
Each one of them a notable action film God.

They mow down the bad guys with showers of lead,
Leaving hundreds and hundreds of nameless foes dead.
They may fight for vengeance, or something like that.
But the story felt empty and personalities flat.

They crack boring jokes about being elite,
And stand around looking like grizzled old meat.
I enjoyed watching legends and stuff blowing up,
But was hoping for more than them just showing up.

7/10
