One of the first movies we ever discussed on the Shouts From the Back Row podcast was The Expendables, and while our reaction seemed to be a resounding “meh” – the movie was mindless action, but failed to live up to its own potential – I can’t help but get excited by this trailer for The Expendables 2. I know that the who’s-who of action stars that made up the cast of the first film wasn’t enough to hold the movie together, but I don’t care – adding Van Damme, Bruce Willis, Arnie and CHUCK NORRIS to the roster has got me giddy with anticipation. Here’s hoping this is a sequel that outshines its predecessor.
The Expendables 2 comes out August 17, 2012.
