Review of The Expendables 3 (2014) by Jeffrey M — 01 Aug 2015
Expendables 3 hits on all the familiar notes with an over-the-top approach befitting of the franchise. It's loud, frantically kinetic, and mostly enjoyable, yet also derivative and a bit ho-hum considering what came before it.
The cameos are non-stop, and the additions of Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson are more impressive on paper than in reality, feeling underutilized in a rather incoherent script, even for Expendables standards.
To be sure, it doesn't pretend to be more than it is, a dumb B action movie, and there is plenty of that, yet nothing more.
