There were 5 huge “geek out!” movies that opened this summer, all of which we covered the shit out of on this site, including THE AVENGERS, PROMETHEUS, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and most recently, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, but THE EXPENDABLES 2 had a soft spot in my heart, mostly because many of these dudes were actors whose movies I grew up with, and who I’m happy to see still kickin’ ass today! (along with the newer stars alongside them) To that end, we’ve already posted Chris Bumbray’s 7/10 review HERE (although he clearly says that “If you’re a fan of any of the icons in the cast (who isn’t?), this is for you.”) and the Arrow’s enthusiastic recommendation HERE.
We also interviewed many in the cast including director Simon West, as well as stars Terry Crews & Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren (Dragoooo!!!) and Jason Statham! Oh and don’t forget about our TOP 10 lists counting down the best movies from Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis, and another one for the rest of the awesome action cast. Yes, it was an Expendables week here on JoBlo.com and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
But now it’s your turn!
