RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

justice-91192 It has been absolutely clear that Sly Stallone is very talented and not a dumb boxer who gets lucky getting his face bashed in. Rambo talks in near baby-talk and sometimes all of them except the first two in each franchise WORK. I have not been excited to see a movie coming out in many years. Somehow I missed the Expendables as they came out-- THEN, I RETIRED. Though I fought it at first, my wasted back finally got me down. I worked my way through college and retired as a recognized Addiction Specialist. In my young years-- I did not follow movies except for the ones that HAD to be seen in order to live in America. THE EXPENDABLES is so rough and tough and full of action that it seems to want to implode at times-- and it doesn NOT. Something saves the movie each time it starts to drag. People moan at their stars AGING and it infuriates me! The men in these movies were and are ALL absolute ICONS. They are the Burt Lancasters, The John Waynes and the Eastwoods and NONE of those men except for Lancaster in THE PROFESSIONALS does a decent action film that has as much punch and as much weight as THE EXPENDABLES. These moves run FAST-- You have to watch or something will be missed--sadly sometimes it does not matter- AND this is entertaining stuff. These men have all given their lives to show business and they are mega millionaires. When I learned about the pay for these guys I smiled and thought-- Rocky, Lethal Weapon, Mr Universe/America, and I could go on and on.. These guys deliver just what men like to see. Men. Fighting men are needed in this dangerous world and every little boy dreams of becoming a tough guy. Many of these men were the best in sports that involve violence or tough challenges like body-building and competition. Even the Chick who is the bouncer (sorry could not find her name quickly) is a bad ass in real life and I read that she insisted on doing her own stunts. I remember when I learned that Steve McQueen actually rode the motorcycle in THE GREAT ESCAPE.. I was already a fan from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN having him on that bike doing his thing was glorious. I have to return to the age thing before I go. All of you people who make remarks about people aging-- God help you make it to old age. I can tell you that if you live-- YOU WILL GET OLD. It is one of the most frustrating things in life--eventual inevitable loss of youth and finally--for everyone, death. I am SO glad that ALL of these guys got together and did this. I could watch a movie of them just standing around talking. They are our heroes and in these movies-- they remain heroes. The new faces in the movie are ESSENTIAL to bringing in new life and staying with reality. A force such as this in real life has newcomers.. a force such as this could never exist because of the physical demands and odds of dying too soon -- and new faces pop up each day in SEAL TEAM 1-1,000. New faces bring new interest, show others learning and give the old-timers a chance to teach the boys how to be men. That is one of the things that is missing is the TEACHING of their craft to the younger more inexperienced men. An old western called TIN STAR shows the old Bounty Hunter teaching a young man how to be a good Sheriff and how to stay alive. It is in my top ten favorites-- it is the passing along of the secrets of the trade. I love these movies and love that each of these guys is showing that they have balls just to keep on doing what they do. Merle Haggard was a huge country Singer, Songwriter-- HE NEVER STOPPED. HE was told to do so by his doctor-- and 3 months before he died, his incredible voice was still there-- only a bit less perfect-- and that was forgiven in concert as his audience cheered his very minor mistakes or rough spots. He died along the highway just like he said he would in more than one song... I think these men will do the same and that is as it should be. I retired after 32 years of helping addicts. I worked hauling 240 40-pound bottles of water per day ( in the summer) and it paid the bills as I studied my craft and finally went to work helping to change the treatment field just a bit. I taught hundreds--thousands to be professional and to remember that addicts have a disease and should be treated with unconditional positive regard. THAT is what I will be remembered for and my patients will remember that I was THERE-- really THERE with them in the room. I think that is what we want in our entertainment--- we want it to steal us away from the perfectionism, lack of respect for those growing older, ( which is again the most ludicrous bias a human being without a fountain of youth can have) and the grind of living in a world that hurts, does not forgive easily and in the end--takes EVERYONE down. In a movie like (ALL of) THE EXPENDABLES, achieves that. We get to see superstars rubbing elbows and making it work. I will bet that NONE of these movies EVER flops at the box office.

crendine I almost enjoyed this entry into The Expendables series as much as the first two but in some areas, I felt it fell a little short (but not much). This time around, Stallone introduces 4 younger members to his team as well the addition of Wesley Snipes (who paired up extremely well with Stallone and Sandra Bullock in "Demolition Man"). Overall, I found it as action-packed and enjoyable as the first two but I found Mel Gibson to not be as convincing as the villain as Eric Roberts or Jean Claude Van Damm. Perhaps it's because we tend to associate him too much with the Martin Riggs character in "Lethal Weapon' or William Wallace in "Braveheart". He just didn't seem to come across as the bad guy that well. Overall, it's a really good action film to just sit back and enjoy. I just wish Rutger Hauer or someone of that ilk had played the villain.

zkonedog When examining a movie like "Expendables 3", one would do well to establish the "ground rules" first, so to speak. This franchise is not meant to be 100% serious. It is a throwback to the action stars and action movies of the 1980s, to be sure, but the tongue is always firmly planted in cheek. That being said, creator Sylvester Stallone takes these films just as seriously (in terms of trying to make them quality undertakings) as anything he has ever done. But, as my title of this review states, you have to "get it" in order to "get it"!For a basic plot summary, "Expendables 3" sees the "old gang" of Stallone, Statham, Lundgren, Couture, and Crews still wreaking havoc on bad guys...at least in the beginning. After a mission involving the new baddie (Mel Gibson) goes awry, Stallone's character decides it is time to put the others out to pasture, recruiting a new crew consisting of Ronda Rousey, Kellan Lutz, Victor Ortiz, and Antonio Banderas. Along the way, they also pick up some help from Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammar, Wesley Snipes, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.There are two primary reasons to watch the films in this franchise: 1. For the action; 2. For the comedy/camaraderie. The first part was really heavy on the action, while EX2 was pretty much all wise-cracking comedy. EX3, however, is easily the best made film of the series, featuring the best mix of everything. Though my personal favorite may still be part two (because I love the wise-cracking comedy a bit more than the guns a-blazin'), the film-evaluator portion of me realizes that this is the best overall effort so far.Of course, any Expendables film after the first one is going to be judged on the "new blood", and in that aspect EX3 comes through with flying colors. There are a few characters (Lutz, Ortiz) who just kind of fall flat, but otherwise all the other new additions are great. Banderas' frantic comedy nearly steals the show, while Ford, Grammar, and Snipes are perfect for this franchise (old guys getting a chance to mix it up again!). And Ronda Rousey?! Hoo-boy!!All the reviews circulating about EX3 seem to be overwhelmingly negative, but I can understand why, to an extent: if you can't see this type of film-making for what it is, you won't like the movie...simple as that. To be honest, these action-heavy flicks aren't necessarily my cup of tea either, but I can appreciate the diverse cast and the intent of what is trying to be done.Simply put, I was very entertained by this film in the theater (something I can't say for many of the films I've seen recently). While each Expendables movie offers something a little different (and thus will have differing levels of "favorite-ism" among fans), it was clear to me that this was the best-made of the bunch with its ability to have a good mix of humor and action spread out through the film.

irehawk This is strong bloody macho movie and you need to rate this as "PG-13" to earn money in desperation? I know you need more money in order to get a bigger audience in desperation, unfortunately, you cannot lack too much safety along the way.There's such a serious situation that trying to earn money in desperation also results on not lacking safety along the way. so that means that this movie can still be rated "R", even if you need to earn money and get a bigger audience in desperation, but don't lack safety too much along the way at the same time!
