Query: MY GRADE: C plus.

There's something missing in this follow up to the enjoyable Expendables 1. Overall it felt as if the story and characters relied too much on cookie cutter formulas taking a backseat to the action sequences. It also felt like the large ensemble cast was poorly juggled compared to the first film.Speaking of that ensemble there's a large cast which shows that doesn't always make a memorable film: Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Liam Hemsworth, Jet Li, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Chuck Norris.Again, quite the disappointment.The budget was $100M and it made over $315M at the Box Office.SOUND: C plus; CINEMATOGRAPHY: C plus to B minus; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: C plus to B minus; STORY/PLOTTING/EDITING: C minus; ACTION SEQUENCES: B minus to B; WHEN WATCHED: mid December 2012; OVERALL GRADE: C plus.
