Plot: The Expendables fight to stop Barney's old teammate.
This movie is one of the hardest movies of the year to review.... I loved the first two and really really wanted to have the same fun entertaining experience with this new entry in the series. The Expendables 3 is good, but in a very uneventful way.
Unlike the first 2, this movie is rated PG-13, and while this was not a huge problem for me, it did make for fast cuts placed in the movie.
You had whatever cool action shot start and then end, with no middle. The filmmakers stretched 5 shots into 10, and I would have preferred to have seen one fluid motion of action as opposed to several quick flashes of action.
New Additions are great:
Wesley Snipes was one of the best characters in the movie, he finally is given a character to play.
Antonio Banderas adds great humor,
AND THEN WE GET THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE FILM
MEL GIBSON AS THE VILLAIN!!!!
We hear that Gibson was a former teammate of Barney. We see Stallone's reasons for going after this guy. They hate each other, so we have our conflict.
My problem with this is that we don't understand Gibson's point. He is a weapons dealer, who happens to hate Barney. Why does he want weapons? What is his goal? All we know is that he wants to get revenge on Barney.
This movie is good, yet uneventful, it is a film that you can say. "Ok, I saw it" Not "That was awesome."
Grade: C+
