You know what you're getting into when you walk into this movie. Old dudes, guns, action, shitty acting & cliches, and explosions. It delivers on all levels. It's pretty entertaining honestly. It's straight forward, fails at humor attempts and drama, but there's a shitload of shooting and SPLOSIONS. I pretty much called the plot out from moment 1, but it's still not disappointing. Again I think Stallone is in the movie WAYYY too much and the other "stars" get underused, Jet Li CRIMINALLY underused. Plot: Stallone (Barney Ross) still owes Bruce Willis (Church) from the first Expendables movie because despite destroying the entire army on the island, he failed Willis' mission. Stallone is to retrieve a box in Eastern Europe, bring it back to America, everyone is equal. Box retrieval turns into an unholy shitshow, craziness ensues, Jean Claude Van Damme= BAD GUY who must die & lose. It panders to a certain audience and I subscribe to being entertained by shameless and crazy violence, call me weird.
Bottom Line: 6.8 out of 10. I was entertained for an hour of this, and that's not too bad. A few cheap laughs hit, lots of sweet violencia. I don't know if you should pay money to see this unless you know you love shameless death and violence, but it's fun.
