The Expendables 3

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Like its predecessors, Expendables 3 offers a modicum of all-star thrills for old-school action thriller aficionados -- but given all the talent assembled, it should have been a lot more fun.

RAYMOND O I do not know why this movie did not get enough love. Its action packed, great stunts, and the best action heroes ever. Loved it. Wish I saw it earlier. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review B K This could have been a fun movie with a little more effort. Instead, we are treated to lots of explosions and bullets, but no threat. Which is a pity, given we know that Gibson can do so much better even if some of his co-actors are limited. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review keef m There was no option to put no stars hence the one, total cringefest it is not a comedy but i laughed, no not at the lame one liners but the embarrasisng joke it is. Shocking pension fund for has-beens, if you enjoy any of the Undesireables movies oops sorry Expendables movies i really worry about your mindset. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍀 2.2/10Bad don't like. i'm gonna complain here again but the cast has gotten too big to the point where why can't you just kill anybody off?. It feels like there's no stakes by this point. the second movie had Liam Hemsworth die I mean it was predictable but at least somebody died. And this film Just feels a little cheap, and in a way trying to reboot the series. Oh God the new characters suck I don't really care at all, but Harrison Ford is a good addition Love seeing him so cool. and now that the fourth movie came out and has even worse reviews like 16% on rotten tomatoes. I can't wait so exhilarated. Grade D Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/11/23 Full Review Kristina W Brought in new young actors that taught the old dogs some new tricks. There were some good action scenes, but the "villain" wasn't very smart which caused some plot holes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Elvis D Estupenda e incomprendida para algunos, la tercera entrega de la saga creada por Sylvester Stallone aún ofrece más del clásico estilo del cine de acción, pero esta vez aplicando algo del cine de acción moderno. Lo que tenemos es una película que ofrece una combinación del cine de acción clásico con el cine de acción más reciente. Eso se ve reflejado en los personajes cuando Barney decide sumar a un nuevo equipo compuesto por guerreros más jóvenes y modernos. Sin olvidar mencionar que la película aplica también algo de espionaje. No solamente tenemos a Stallone, Stantham, Lundgren y Schwarsenegger como siempre, también se suman Wesley Snipes (Blade) con un carisma que recuerda su rol como Simon Phoenix en El Demoledor, el legendario Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) tomando el lugar de Willis, y Antonio Banderas (Zorro) como el más parlante del grupo. Todos ellos ahora teniendo que enfrentarse a Mel Gibson (Mad Max) y Jet Li incluso vuelve para el gran final. Con estimulantes escenas de acción, The Expendables 3 es una excelente película que lleva esta saga a un nivel más alto con su triple dosis de acción. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 10/10. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

The Expendables 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic The movie borrows so liberally from other action films that it starts to feel at times a bit like a BuzzFeed listicle. Dec 31, 2015 Full Review The Expendables 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Evan Williams The Australian Yes, it's pretty much the same mixture as before, but slicker and more polished, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 19, 2014 Full Review The Expendables 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) If they're expendable, why won't they die? Rated: 2/5 Aug 17, 2014 Full Review The Expendables 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The action scenes largely fail to snap, crackle, and pop. Rated: 2/4 Sep 27, 2023 Full Review The Expendables 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “The Expendables 3” lacks the fun, the excitement, and the charm that the franchise built itself on. Rated: 2/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review The Expendables 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson It’s not a pretty one, but the third film, for the most part, departs from the hearty rerun missions of the first two films.
