Batman and Green Arrow in a Brave and the Bold film.

I think Chuck Looked The Best Out Of The Older Actors other then Willis.

Too bad Statham can't do an american accent,I've been wanting him to play a superhero since the first Transporter movie and I think he has the perfect look for Bruce Wayne/Batman,He can grow hair or use a wig But his accent wouldn't be accepted for Batman!!!

Maybe he can at least play Captain Britain sometime..OR a villain

Even though he's kicking on a bit, JCVD's got more on-screen charisma than most of the new, younger, action guys. Saying that, the same could be said of most of the old guard (Sly, Arnie etc).

I agree except about the"old guards",When it comes to charisma on screen from the Expendables cast I'd rank it..

Arnold
Willis
JCVD
Lundgren
Sly
Norris
Jet-Li

Green Arrow doesn't need to be American.

Just saw it, I thought in some ways it was a step up from the first, especially the production quality and extra dollop of Arnie and Bruce, plus Van Damme was a much better vilain (), but the dialogue was even worse and I felt the action lacked the variety of the first film.

The opening sequence was awesome and if they'd flipped it with the finale sequence I think it would have been better, the only real highlight of the finale was the part with Arnie and Bruce in the Smart car. The fight between Sly and Van Damme was poorly shot and so was Statham vs the sidekick.

They really didn't need Chucky Nozza's cameo as apart from the riff on the facts gimmick he added nothing. The rest of the cast did what they do, most of them are not actors as such and Arnie was a little rusty on his one liners, except the last one which I thought was gold. I also love how at times it feels like Sly is acting in a different movie to everyone else as he tries to add a bit of emotional weight whilst looking like he's actually in a movie about the French Resistance.

Some will find it too 'wink wink, nudge nudge' and others will see it as clunky action dreck, but as a child of the 80's I mostly had fun.
