I’ve written before that I am no expert on film. My favourite movies are comedies, music documentaries, and big dumb action movies. So when my movie buff brother Amir asked me to watch The Expendables 2 with him this weekend, I obviously jumped at the chance.
When The Expendables came out a couple of years ago, I thought it was one of the most ridiculous, and also one of the greatest movies ever. Not in a cinematic masterpiece sort of way, because I’m not completely unhinged, but it was so entertaining. The special effects were and fighting sequences were top notch, the story line non-existent and the script was laughably bad.
