View the story "THE EXPENDABLES 2 (2012)" on StorifyTHE EXPENDABLES 2 (2012)I live-tweeted the sequel to THE EXPENDABLES, commonly known as THE EXPENDABLES 2. This time Rambo and The Stath face a bigger threat than Angel from Dexter's goatee - it's only JCVD himself, playing Jean Vilain. He's the villain.Storified by Dan Owen· Sat, Feb 02 2013 08:18:06The Expendables 2Jolly HollywoodI just can't take #Expendables2 seriously until they recruit Mr T.Dan OwenAt least #Expendables2 has a better villain in JCVD. I mean, last time they were up against Angel from DEXTER. Sca-ry.Dan OwenI keep waiting for a teary JCVD monologue as he floats to the ceiling of his villain's hideout. #Expendables2Dan OwenSylvester Stallone's real enemy is his plastic surgeon. #Expendables2Dan OwenJCVD has the agreed villain credentials: he insists on wearing sunglasses while in an underground cavern. #Expendables2Dan OwenI think Sly and Statham must have bonded over their love of old geezer caps. #Expendables2Dan OwenWas this Chinese lady Michelle Yeoh's understudy? #Expendables2Dan OwenWeird to see Charisma Carpenter 13 years older than I'm used to seeing her during my #Buffy catchups, but she's ageing well. #Expendables2Dan OwenGenius. RT @chemalino he has TOTAL villain credentials! His name is...I kid you not...Jean Vilain. Citizen Kane? Pffffft. #Expendables2Dan OwenLots of bad Chinese jokes, mistaking the cuisine for the people. Also, a crazy amount of misogyny. #Expendables2Dan OwenChuck Norris! That guy is ripe for a meme. #Expendables2Dan OwenIt kind of feels like they've gone back in time to 1930s France. Did I miss a vital plot twist during a loo break? #Expendables2Dan Owen"Rest in pieces" Guess what just happened. #Expendables2 #comedyDan OwenIf you edited together all of Sly's grunts, it would sound like an old man having sex with a wardrobe lashed to his back. #Expendables2Dan OwenFunny how Arnie's character behaves like he's a living legend, while everyone else just sort of shrugs him off. #Expendables2Dan OwenOh God, they're really shoehorning everyone's catchphrases in suddenly! #Expendables2Dan OwenAnd now they're stealing set-pieces from RAIDERS. #Expendables2Dan OwenHey, #Expendables2 Blu-ray - bookmarks aren't Extras.Dan OwenLIAM Hemsworth? That's like booking Mel Gibson's brother Donal. #Expendables2Dan Owen
