The film "The Expendables 2" appeared in the box office in 2012 and became a sequel to the action movie "The Expendables" by Sylvester Stallone, which the audience met in 2010. The director of the new film is Simon West, and many popular Hollywood actors starred in it.
Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables starred such famous actors as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren. Stallone himself starred in the film. The film was well received by audiences, so a sequel could be expected. Two years later, the second film, The Expendables 2, was released, this time directed by Simon West. The film again stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li. New heroes also appeared, played by Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
The new film is, first of all, interesting to fans of the actors who starred in it. A truly stellar cast, coupled with a deliberately simple plot and a mass of action scenes, gave viewers exactly what they could expect from a film with these actors. This is a solid classic action movie, filmed in the best Hollywood tradition. The director of the film did not experiment and simply collected all the best that is in the traditional genre of action. And I got to the point, the audience received the film very warmly. A lot of spectacular action scenes, crude humor, the traditional fight between good guys and bad guys - all this gives the older generation of viewers an opportunity to remember their youth, which was the heyday of the genre of the classic action movie. The box office success of the first and second films even allowed film critics to start talking about the revival of this genre, already thoroughly forgotten.
There is no doubt that the new film will have many critics. Someone will consider it primitive and primitive, someone will be disappointed by the almost complete absence of computer special effects. Others will not like the very presence of so many famous actors in the film, many of whom have a place in a museum - which the actors themselves admit with a grin. However, even this works for the success of the film - when some viewers speak very well of the film, while others scold him just as loudly, people who have not yet seen the picture have a quite natural desire to get to know it.
It can be expected that favorable reviews of the film will induce its creators to think about filming the third part, in which Hollywood stars, who have not yet been noted in the first two parts, can take part. The project has a cash potential, which is a decisive factor in the conditions of market competition. That is why fans of the action movie can count on the next appearance of "The Expendables" - there is no doubt that the scriptwriters of the film are already looking for worthy opponents for them.
