THE EXPENDABLES 3 (2014)
Featuring: Sylvester Stallone; Jason Statham; Arnold Schwarzenegger; Jet Li; Dolph Lundgren
Director: Patrick Hughes
Besides the above, and by now familiar, list of big names that appeared in the two Expendables movies so far, for #3 the cast is joined by Antonio Banderas (Desperado; Zorro), Wesley Snipes (Demolition Man; Blade), Kelsey Grammar (Frasier; Hank), Mel Gibson (Mad Max; Lethal Weapon; Braveheart) and Harrison Ford (Star Wars; Indiana Jones and too many others to mention). But don't let this fool you. If you expected anything more than what you got so far from this franchise, you will be sorely disappointed.
This time round, Barney (Sly Stallone) and his team is commissioned by the CIA to capture a notoriously elusive arms dealer. But once our hero finds out his target is none other than his erstwhile-partner-gone-rogue, Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson) - and who he also thought was dead - he quickly realizes that this mission is going to be a whole lot easier said than done...
One critic had this to say about this movie: "Unfortunately none of the big names do anything interesting on-screen." I tend to agree. Too much of a good thing is not necessary always a good thing. However, that being said, this movie still did exceptionally well at box offices worldwide which, I suppose, means it does have it's loyal following. So, for their sake, I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
