The Expendables 3

[Bert]

Where do I begin?

The UFC crew they cast was terrible. Randy Couteur was never a great actor, but he was Laurence Olivier next to Ronda Rousey and Tito Ortiz.

Mel Gibson was good, but he basically had no other support with a personality. There was very little reason to care for either what Gibson was doing or that the Expendables were trying to prevent. At least Van Damme had Scott Adkins in #2.

Wesley Snipes was adequate, and even had a tax evasion joke, but he was assimilated so quickly it had no impact, even when they tried to develop a rivalry with Jason Statham. There was some promise there at the beginning, but then he pretty much became a standard team member with no real personality to stand out from everyone else.

Schwarzenegger and especially Jet Li were wastes of space. Hell, Jet Li didn't even fight anyone hand-to-hand! Ronda Rousey did, but they pretty much made her do UFC moves that were neither surprising nor interesting.

The story was paper-thin and uninteresting, and Mel Gibson did a great job as the villain, but it felt like he didn't have much to do except wait for the Expendables to come and blow stuff up. Which they do a lot of.

It was just fun, Jeez lighten up already not everything is a boring 3 hour movie about food.

(See it's not nice when people are condescending jerks about your opinion is it?)

2 was much more fun than 3. He asked me a question, I answered. Have a problem with it, don't read it. Pretty simple.

I have not read anything here that doesn't surprise me? These movies were always marketed as the empty plotless actions movies of the 80's. I am not expecting character development or good plot lines.

I will go check it out.
