For the third installment of the all out action series, the Expendables 3 leaves a little to be desired. Most of the movie is spent getting a new team together for no apparent reason. So with a good chunk of the movie getting a new "band together," there's not much time left for great action and blowing up stuff. I thought that having the cheese-fest of constant quotes from the last movie was bad enough, but I'd take that again for the third if that meant it'd be a better movie. The cast is fun. The old crew is the same group we've come to know from the other two movies. The new crew adds nothing and seems quite bland in contrast to the rest of the crew. The exception to this is Antonio Banderas. He is almost single-handedly the humor in this movie. Kelsey Grammer, Mel Gibson, and Wesley Snipes are all good additions to the cast. Harrison Ford's performance, on the other hand, seems a little lack luster. It seems that he'd rather be on any other set than this one. This makes me kinda apprehensive about his performance in the upcoming Star Wars movie. When the action finally does come, it doesn't disappoint. I just wish there was more of it. As you'd expect with an action movie, violence and language are the main "objectionable materials" in this movie.
Overall, I'd give this movie
