I know it sounds insane to say this, but believe me: I was actually very, very surprised by how much better 'The Expendables 2' was than 'The Expendables.' True, there's less Jet Li — always a negative — but hiring director Simon West gave Sylvester Stallone the room to just concentrate on “acting” and action. Dolph Lundgren gets some choice lines off, and the fight choreography — showing off Jean-Claude Van Damme as the bad guy among other choice moments — is excellent as well. Add in a supporting cast of neck-breakers and scene-stealers like Jason Statham and Terry Crews (who is, in and of himself, extraordinary) and you'll find 'The Expendables 2' a perfect diversion for any '80s action fan stuck inside on a rainy day.

“The first film was kind of confusing, in the sense that you’re caught between a rock and a hard place, or it’s a feathered fish.” That’s Sylvester Stallone talking about 2010′s The Expendables, which he directed and co-wrote, and which features a weird mixture of fraternal backslapping, Tears of the Sun-style heroism, and the curious fact that Dolph Lundgren seems to magically come back to life just in time for the final scene. Stallone thinks that Expendables 2 got it right, as he explains in an exclusive video obtained for the sequel’s DVD release. The video also features humanity-proof-of-concept Dolph Lundgren talking about how the films compare to The Dirty Dozen, and Randy Couture genially explaining why people loved the movies’ locker-room talk.
