Rating: 5.5/10
So, I made it to the final one. Watching the Expendables has been consistent – consistently bad. The second one was the best because it had so much cheesy in it. I actually really enjoyed Expendables 2. It was hilariously cheesy and I can watch that again.
E3 has a bigger cast and bigger explosions but not a bigger heart. The younger cast wasn’t implemented correctly and it is a really bad day when Kellan Lutz has to be mentioned as the best performance of new cast members. He was actually much better than I expected.
Harrison Ford replaces Bruce Willis as the intelligence agent. He looks so painfully old. It makes me uncomfortable to face this stark reminder that even the greatest action stars aren’t immune against time.
The biggest thing in this movie was the music score. Why did they suddenly choose rap music? WHAT?
Then there are Sylvester’s outfits when he runs around with Kelsey Grammar playing rent a sniper. He just looked like a pimp. What?
That girl. Really, what was the idea? Her acting was so bad I couldn’t celebrate the existence of a female Expendable.
Antonio Banderas as the village idiot: WHAT? So bad and so annoying.
Just, WHAT?
