Storyline
Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes
face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded
The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless
arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill... or so he
thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his
mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney
decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a
new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are
younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash
of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the
Expendables' most personal battle yet.
The Expendables 3 Full User Reviews
Mediocre...
The first one was
interesting seeing old big names on screen. The second one had the Chuck
Norris jokes and van Damme doing his signature kicks. This one?... This
one has a lot of "kaboom and badawoom"... Which is why, I guess, it is
an all right movie.
Unfortunately none of the big names do anything interesting on-screen. If you're expecting to see Wesley Snipes do Blade stuff, or Jet Li some amazing kung fu, nope! you will be disappointed...
Mel Gibson is great, but he's got a tiny part. The only fun is provided by Antonio Banderas.
As for the new actors... who cares!
The problem with the Expendables movies is that the more big names are on the credits their on screen time has to be shared with others and it breaks down to just a few moments each.
