Story: 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.
Likes : Director Patrick Hughes has done a pretty good job on this film, the action is fast, the pace of the film is balanced the story-line & casting is pretty much spot on, as the new crew did well in the film held their own. Jet Li , Kelsey Grammer , Harrison Ford & Arnold Schwarzenegger have a some what cameo roles in this film although Kelsey, Harrison & Arnold got a bit more screen time for a few mins in the film.
Kelsey Grammer plays Bonaparte a military head hunter recruiter, for special ops team, does a really good job at playing this role.
Harrison Ford play Max Drummer who is a agent like (Bruce Willis) character in the first two film, only Harrison character replaces Bruce character with not so much the attitude of Mr. Church had but he does play this role with a hard ass attitude with a sense of humour which is cool seeing from Harrison ford.
Arnold Schwarzenegger play he usual self with his character like the first two film only he a little more mellow in this film, but there is a few scene where you see him firing a gun & loving it. Jet li only seem to a full cameo in this film which is a shame i feel he could of had more screen time.
You still have the original crew Lee Christmas (statham) Gunner Jensen (Lundgren) Hale Caesar (Crews) & Toll Road (Couture) follow with Barney Ross (Stallone). but there added a few new recruits to the list who really pulled there own in this film.
Luna played by Ronda Rousey who is a MMA fighter in her real life career, plays a bouncer in a club who seriously can hold her own in a fight as she kicks ass in this film taking out soldiers left & right with some awesome combat moves. Mars played by Victor Ortiz who plays a military weapon expert that knows everything about weapons seriously kick ass with a shot gun as you see him taking out six soldiers at once with a weapon, really pulls this role off with a hard ass soldier that take no prisoners.
Thorn nickname Wifi played by Glen Powell play the extreme sport climber tech expert of the team, which become a very good addition to the team as he good at shut down trip alarms & lights, really plays this role well. Smilee played by Kellan Lutz, im very surprised that Kellan pulled this role off pretty good, i know alot of the movie his done haven't been that good but he suit this type of role, i feel he should be given more military type roles he has a calling there.
Galgo played by Antonio Banderas i don't think ive laughed so much in my life, he plays a hard ass soldier who just wont shut up talking & a quaky side, its just funny seeing Stallone character trying to keep he cool with him, but he is brilliant in this film,brings a little humour to expendables. Doc played by Wesley Snipes plays the old expendables veteran extremely good with knifes which put him in a competition with Christmas the banter come flying between them some time with classic humour taking the piss out of each other which is funny, but he was awesome in this film.
Wow Mel Gibson as the bad guy Conrad Stonebanks a former Expendables turned sides & became a dangerous arms dealer, he played this role perfect with a vicious cold dark mental concept, with this attitude if you crossed him you know he would just execute you on the spot. Mel is brilliant in this film, just by the way he looks, the stare he has made him the perfect chose for this role as when he plays the bad guy he has this cold stare which worked perfect for the character, although the fight scene at the end was a little short, the fight scene was good as he held his own in the fight.
Along with the action, banter & fight sequence that are brilliant choreograph this make for a brilliant 3rd film with great new character weather this is the last one not sure, but i see future for this franchise if they make more as this is not a bad film.If you loved this first two film your going to love this film, but this might now be for everyone, but worth watch just for the funny banter & action.
Dislikes : Just a few place were a little slow but not to much.
Overall : fast pace action, great fight sequence, great banter, brilliant acting
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.9 out of 10 for story-line.
