Hey, I grew up on the action heroes. Commando, invasion, USA, first blood, blood sport, and others.
Being a kid of the 80s, I loved going to the Cineplex and then the 90s as well. But when the 2000s came around, our big bulky heroes disappeared. However, they were brought back in 2010 the expendables.. a solid effort a fantastic crew, and lead to an even better sequel with JCVD. The last outing was not a US success, but overseas it was phenomenal. I was hoping they would get the formula, right didn't.
From the get-go, this movie is highly predictable, you know what's gonna happen, one of the main villains is totally predictable, and some other stupid plot lines that don't make any sense.
But what's worse is that a lot of characters who we've grown and loved in this series are simply wasted, especially Dolph. It's a mix bag which you can see coming from a mile away one of the only good things that I like in this movie is seeing Tony Jaa
Otherwise, this is a flaccid effort, which was supposed to knock our socks off as action fans but in the end, it's a dud. Where is the Arnold? The Rock? Scott Adkins or Thomas Jane. This is a serious misfire on all. Chambers.
