My Review-

I did not think I would like this movie at first, because I really disliked the first one, but I actually thought this one was pretty decent. I think what made this sequel better than the first one is that it was actually making fun of itself in the process, which is always a good thing for these types of films. This also has more explosions than the first one and a lot funnier. One of the things I thought was messed up, was that Jet Li was like in the movie for like 5 minutes which was horrible, it should have been in it more. There were some scenes that were really cool and were awesome, some more than others. Some of the funniest parts in the movie were the funny one-liners between all the actors and how they were getting old, or when Chuck Norris entered into the movie that was pretty cool. Also liked the fight scenes especially the last one with Van Damme and Stallone what was pretty cool, and for old people the are pretty spry and can take a few punches (even though it probably wasn't them it was still awesome). There were some parts that could have been a little better and a tad bit less cheesiness. If you liked the first one then you will love this one, since I did not like the first one this one was just enjoyable, and could have been a little bit better.
