With this many legends all in one room, you would worry about how the chemistry would be like with all these big personalities. It is a daunting task to be able to balance an intense storyline, hard hitting action, and maintain comedic value, but The Expendables 3 managed to pull it off seamlessly, and from that, never seemed to have a dull moment.īut, what made this franchise so popular was its integration of a star studded cast. The amount of times I laughed out loud from all the running jokes and witty one-liners was surprising to even myself. I found this movie to have a lighter side when compared to its predecessors. With any movie of this genre, you can’t solely rely on all the action to make it a great film, there has to be another quality to it that makes the film rise above its competitors, and in this case, it used humor as that something extra.

Granted, there was a lot of fighting, shooting, and of course, explosions, I didn’t find myself rolling my eyes like I tend to do when there is more action than anything else in a film. Unlike its prequels that were so jam packed with action that it was hard to really keep up with the plot, The Expendables 3 had a lot going for it. Max Drummer (Harrison Ford), a member of the CIA, offers Barney to finish the job that they failed to accomplish. After an intense fight, Barney and his team barely make it out alive, which forces Barney to make the decision to retire his old team and look for a new, younger crew (Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Glen Powell, and Victor Ortiz). The icing on the cake is that Stonebanks also co-founded The Expendables team. The thing about Stonebanks though, is that he was Barney’s former partner and who was presumed to be dead until now. Upon their arrival, they soon discover that they man that they are targeting is none other than Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson). Upon rescuing Doctor Death, Barney informs the team that they have an assignment to stop an arms dealer who sells powerful weaponry to a variety of people who should not have their hands on such a thing. The film starts out with Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and his team of mercenaries called The Expendables, featuring Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunner Jenson (Dolph Lundgren), and Toll Road (Randy Couture), on a mission to rescue an imprisoned expendable member, Doctor Death (Wesley Snipes).
