The Hollywood Reporter
The Expendables 2 offers the sendoff adrenaline junkies are seeking before the more sedate pace of fall releases. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
This over-the-top sequel caters to the lowest common denominator in the best possible way, and it's so fully committed to brainless bombast that it muscles audiences to applaud by sheer force of will. - 75
Slant Magazine
It plays out like a series wet-dream scenarios, performed by a cast of vintage action figures battered and broken from overuse, bleached and slightly molted from sitting in the sun too long. - 70
Variety
This muscle-bound meathead extravaganza is a sometimes blissfully cretinous endeavor, delivering the maximum firepower and zero brainpower its target audience expects. - 67
The Playlist
As a film that even passingly acknowledges the disposability of stars in a genre whose artistic merits are considered negligible (if they're considered at all), The Expendables 2 is indispensable entertainment. - 50
Rolling Stone
Like the 2010 original, The Expendables 2 is all sound and fury signifying nothing, when at the very least it should add up to big, dumb fun. - 40
Empire
A huge, bulging disappointment. - 40
Village Voice
Has the parallel between the actor and the mercenary's trade ever been so overt?
