I was blessed with a group of talented and passionate friends around the world who decided to help me source the latest news on EX2, some also helped write articles that have become popular among hard-core fans of action movies, and despite our faults, our heart was always in the right place. <br /><br />The blog quickly gained a large fan base from more than 20 countries around the globe. I didn't launch EX2 Blog to receive any recognition, but we were grateful every time we did. We never aimed to monetize on our efforts or make fans believe some particular thing, we just wanted to be helpful and share our passion for the Expendables 2 movie. <br /><br />They say all good things must come to an end. I suppose EX2 Blog now falls in that category after August 17 (North American Opening of EX2), as it is time to close this chapter of our lives and move on. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Our very last and final post will come your way some time in the future after EX3 is confirmed - like I said in my <a href="http://expendables-2.blogspot.ca/2012/08/ex2-review-by-ex2-blogman-minor-spoiler.html" target="_blank">review</a> of EX2, <i>it did it for me</i>, EX3 will be bonus, so I won't keep a blog on it - be sure to read and enjoy our Final post on EX3 in due time! </b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Thanks, from the heart <br /><br />As many of you know, EX2 Blog was only able to launch and stay afloat through the contribution of dedicated fans. I thank these individuals from the bottom of my heart - some who supported me from the beginning, some who came on towards the end. They include: Jean, Elrey, Gunter Backer & Mike Frenchy <br /><br />And last but not least, thanks to all the fans of this blog who kept us going and gave us the motivation to make time in our busy lives to keep the news on EX2 flowing every day. <br /><br />If you'd like to look back on our stories & articles, please note that this website will stay up. So, if you ever need your dose of EX2, you can always take a moment and read one of our posts. <br /><br />We will really miss you, but please know I'm around and do not hesitate to stay in touch. <br /><br />I wish you, always, peace, love and "good action" in your lives, and enjoy EX3! </b></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A82Cn3eJOVw/UC20zNB2etI/AAAAAAAABOU/PTqbzuA1gwY/s1600/EX2+Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A82Cn3eJOVw/UC20zNB2etI/AAAAAAAABOU/PTqbzuA1gwY/s640/EX2+Poster.jpg" width="434" /></a></div>EXBlogmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15967174376180977162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605492139968318203.post-67793969978104172962012-08-14T22:54:00.000-04:002013-04-29T23:29:15.323-04:00EX2 Review By EXBlogman - Minor Spoiler Alert!<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>After a long wait (XXV years or so) I finally got to see the movie of my childhood dream: The Expendables 2. Let me tell you right off the bat that it was worth the long wait. This movie delivers on many levels that its predecessor failed to! </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Be aware that I'm reviewing EX2 as a hardcore fan of 80-90's big-screen action movies. Although I will do my best to stay as objective as possible, my opinion will be most likely more biased than a traditional movie critic.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I-Action:</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>The movie has a lot of it. There are action-less moments of course and that is fine. The action sequences don't follow quickly one after another, the idle scenes are well planned so you don't get bored between two action sequences.</b></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>It's fairly violent but not too much, it's not "Rambo", it's closer to "True Lies", and that again is perfectly fine and fits the context of the movie. </b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>The action scenes are well filmed & edited, they play equal in the league of blockbuster movies. I have to admit that West has done a much better job than Stallone did on the first one. No shaky cams or very little and the CGI is not deranging, huge improvement over the first episode.</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b> </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>But, but, there was room for some improvement. EX2 does not reach the ecstasy of action but delivers a very solid performance. I didn't mind if they threw in a few more action scenes and hand fights for instance, I felt there was room for more and it was cut a little bit short.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Li's hand fight scene was top notch.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Statham's knife fight was good.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Statham v</b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>s Adkins was solid but too short, you just wanted more, specially more of Adkins kicking Statham's ass.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Sly vs JCVD was not as epic as Stallone said it was going to be, but very very solid. Too short in my opinion, felt shorter than Sly vs Austin in EX1. Van Damme's 360 kicks were the best moments in the fight. Overall a small disappointment in the long-waited "clash of the titans" department.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Arnold is solid and has a good number of body counts.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Norris is over the top.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Lundgren </b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>kicks ass.</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b></b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Action Rating: 4.5/5</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>II-Story:</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I had talked to people who had seen the movie, and I read a good number of reviews before I attended the Premiere. Most if not all said the story was not good or too simple. Well let me put things in perspective here: the story was perfect for an Expendables movie. I mean you are going to see the "Magnificent Seven" a la 80's style. This is not "The Usual Suspects", "Seven" or "Inception", and it shouldn't be or it'd be ruined. So give me a break when judging the story. </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I found it very good for what it was supposed to deliver. There was a good dose of bravery, vengeance, friendship, humor, emotions and all the good things we used to see in the old action movies. </b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I have to admit though that I was pleasantly surprised by the humor in the movie. It makes you laugh. The comic side of the movie perfectly blends in with the seriousness of the revenge story and works very well. You do not have the impression of watching a comedy but yet you laugh.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Yes, some characters appear magically without any solid explanation, some things don't make sense and I've read reviews that were critical of that. But you know what, you don't care in this movie and it's played very well and you don't even ask yourself the question in the heat of the action.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Story Rating: 4/5</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>III-Cast:</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Stallone's performance is much better than the first one. He's more relaxed and really in his element. He dominates the movie.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Statham is pretty much the same as in EX1, maybe less screen time but still second in command. Statham is Statham.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Li is great but doesn't have a lot of screen time, and you wish you'd see him more. </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Lundgren has probably the best performance, he's funny and has some good lines.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Norris is himself, has probably the best lines in the movie and every scene he's in, you laugh your heart out. His entrance is epic and the audience went crazy when he showed up.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Van Damme is solid as a villain, his screen time does not allow him to express all his talent like he did in "JCVD" but he's very good. His 360 kicks got the audience go crazy.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Willis delivers as usual, more screen time that the first one, the right dose.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Arnold is at his best, feels like he never left the big screen. He was the most cheered cast member after Norris. Has a good amount of screen time.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Hemsworth was a pleasant surprise, the kid is good and plays his role to perfection. He fits naturally in the gang against low expectations.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Yu Nan is a good actress but I was a little bit disappointed by her. Her performance was solid but she didn't fit in the gang. I was expecting a much more attractive lady. She's given too much screen time for the extent of the role and you wish at times that her role was given to the likes of</b></span> <b>Gina Carano</b><span style="font-size: small;"><b>. </b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Crews and Couture have better lines and make you laugh, specially Crews, he's very funny in this one.</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Cast Rating: 4.5/5</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Closing Note: Overall, I loved it, had a great time and will watch it again. It wasn't perfect but good enough for me. I just wanted it to be longer, time flies by.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>It did it for me and I don't need a third chapter, they can stop here, EX3 will be a bonus. </b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I got what I was looking for. The reunion of my childhood heroes, a good dose of action, a well directed and edited movie with a fair share of screen time for all the action legends. The reunion of Sly, Arnold and Willis firing guns side by side was simply priceless. Hardcore Fans won't be disappointed, others, who cares...they can go watch Batman!</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b></b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Overall Rating: 4.5/5</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-np8hJSKyv4c/UCxNypz3pqI/AAAAAAAABNY/QcnGHhiVnEc/s1600/Sly-Arni-Bruce.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-np8hJSKyv4c/UCxNypz3pqI/AAAAAAAABNY/QcnGHhiVnEc/s640/Sly-Arni-Bruce.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div>EXBlogmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15967174376180977162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605492139968318203.post-45615491584516696852012-08-13T22:43:00.000-04:002013-04-29T23:29:15.330-04:00I EXBlogman, Watched EX2<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Coming back from the Premiere of EX2.

text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>One day I heard from a big lawyer who said, 'Look, if you're going to be in a big movie and you can do so, be the villain - because automatically you're going to be the co-lead and you always remember the good guy and the villain. I respected The Expendables, but I didn't want to be Expendable 5, 6 or 7.<br /> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I'm not mocking that, all I'm saying is that The Expendables has a long future, but I want to go from The Expendables 2 to something else.<br /><br />Playing a villain, you can really have a great bipolarity in terms of going high and going low, and you can have all types of dimension and all types of delivery as an actor. You can smile and say, 'I'm going to kill you,' or you can say that same line and look very threatening. So I gave lots of variations to Stallone and to Simon, the director, but I didn't pass the limit of reality.<br /> </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hUtTpK_sLas/UCRcNIgQjRI/AAAAAAAAA44/pQE7boHGgPk/s1600/fondo10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hUtTpK_sLas/UCRcNIgQjRI/AAAAAAAAA44/pQE7boHGgPk/s320/fondo10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>If you're over the top and go too far, it becomes a joke, and you can't do that in The Expendables, because Stallone took the movie kind of seriously.<br /><br />This man, who has passed 65, who has a body of 40 and has the mind of a creator, which means that he has no age, was truly into The Expendables.You believed he was an Expendable while we were making The Expendables 2. It would take him a week to come out of that role, to be normal. It's a great secret of acting, and he's got it.<br /> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I love the man, I truly love the man, the way he is. He taught me about film, how to get my love back for the business, how to be more confident with my intelligence. He also taught me how to behave outside of movies, with the audience, and how not to be too open, like he was in the old times, and then he was hurt.<br /> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>He was amazing.<br /> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>It's true that I met Arnold on a few occasions and was in Last Action Hero. On Predator he and I trained in the morning, him with dumbbells and me with my stretching. I was proud because he was one of my heroes.<br /> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>When I saw Rocky, I was running, believing I was him All these people were there on The Expendables 2,' and I was going from one trailer to another and, thank God, they opened their doors for me. There was lots of friendship on the set, and I was able to have conversations with all of them.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>When you make lots of movies, you go into lots of characters and we are experiencing different lives, different truths, different textures and smells, everything. When we're missing them, when we go back to our own selves, which we know by heart, we're stealing from every role a piece of that feeling of being somebody else. That's why movie stars have a hard time being at home waiting for new roles.<br /> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>More than that, if the movie makes money and is exposed well and publicized well, then the movie star gets a lot of love from the audience. Now, when a movie is going down, you have no idea of the pain and the suffering, of what the fall is like for a man who has been loved by millions of people. If you (mess) up, whatever it is - drugs, a love affair, being too big and being unable to enjoy the success whatever the mistake is, it's the worst.</b></span></div>EXBlogmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15967174376180977162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605492139968318203.post-7674244904017738932012-08-09T19:10:00.000-04:002013-04-29T23:29:15.516-04:00A Bunch of New EX2 Videos!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Sly Vs.

Then I took (sic) a knife and escape and there's a big circle of fire and this lady is trying to shoot me. I didn't like it. <br /><br /> "I was in my room talking to my assistant and I was complaining and I was nervous to tell him because it's a big movie and with Sly and his temper you should just be a good boy and don't say nothing (sic) and do your job. I cannot do this. I know the fans want to see mano to mano. If you go to French, Russian or American fan club (sic), they want to see Van Damme and Sly fighting. <br /><br /> "Since I am a villain, I felt like, 'This is no good,' and I was complaining, yelling, this and that; everything to everyone, except to him (Stallone). So nobody will talk to Sly; they're all scared of him because he has good authority. He knows what he wants and he knows how to control the movie. So I wrote him a letter. <br /><br /> "I said, 'Dear Sly. You know how much I like you. I've seen the Rockys,' and I prepared such a nice letter and I'm going to give it to him in his trailer. So I knock on the door and I go inside and say, 'Hi, I know you're busy but I have a letter for you.' I start to look for this letter and I don't feel it! And I start to sweat. I said it was just a letter to explain a correction in the final fight. <br /><br /> "He says, 'Sit down,' and I go, 'Oh f**k it, I'm gonna tell him how I feel.' I say, 'Stallone, I think people want to see Muhammad Ali against Frasier. It's a metaphor. Look at your arms, you're strong. We need to do a fight. I need to give you myself to punch and kick the s**t out of me. And hopefully I will do some damage to you.' <br /><br /> "He said, 'I tell you what. Go and design the fight!' Later I look all over the place for the letter; it was stuck to my pocket!" </b></span></div>EXBlogmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15967174376180977162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605492139968318203.post-43522694985310895832012-08-06T15:20:00.000-04:002013-04-29T23:29:15.992-04:00Awesome Sly, Li, Statham, Lundgren, JCVD & Adkins Interviews<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;
