The Expendables 3
Barney, Christmas and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks, 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.
Critics Sentiment
The Expendables rescue Doctor Death from a moving train
Barney recruits Smilee Luna Thorn and Mars as replacements
The film drops significantly when Barney disbands the beloved veteran team to recruit unknown younger mercenaries, then recovers when Antonio Banderas joins and the veterans return
Critics found The Expendables 3 to be a disappointment that squandered its veteran star power by focusing too much on bland new characters. While the opening action and Mel Gibson's villain performance earned praise, the film suffered from PG-13 sanitization and misguided attempts to attract younger audiences. Antonio Banderas was consistently highlighted as the film's saving grace, bringing genuine charm and humor to an otherwise routine entry.
