That abotu kills it for me. I was excited for the first one, but it was pretty shit. Doubt I'll even see this one now.

I just can't believe Stallone caved on this. Apparently Norris wouldn't do the movie unless they got rid of all the vulgar language and made it PG-13 so the kids could see it. News flash Chuck: Kids shouldn't ​be seeing the expendables 2!

Chuck is a pussy and so are the producers. Should've taken Chuck out instead.

I agree, the movie would've been just as big without him. Now you have a watered-down action flick with no swearing and minimal violence. The first movie made a ton of money despite being rated R so I just don't understand this move at all.

PG-13 movies piss me off, in general.

If I'm going to watch a movie that isn't ultra-violent or full of expletives I'll be watching a PG movie, most likely from Pixar.

Tits, violence, and vulgar language help every movie.

Eh, there are some good movies on that list. Most would've probably been better with an R rating.
What's interesting from that link is that the top grossing R movie of all time doesn't even break the top 10 PG-13.

Which probably has a lot more to do with tickets not being legally sold to teenagers than lack of interest.

The worse thing about all this is that some fucktard will use this to make another round of CHUCK NORRIS MEMES about how he roundhouse kicked the R to a PG-13 or something like that.
