Release Date (in Singapore): ?
Watched on: 10 August 2014


Summary:

Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill... or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables' most personal battle yet.

Personal Ratings: 3.5

I've not seen expendables 1 or 2, so any characters that have anything to do with this 3rd movie, would probably have no effect on me. However, as according to my mum, she says that the last 2 expendables were pure fighting, no humor. So I guess that's a plus point for this movie. 

Firstly, I've always liked and prefer actions shows, so for me, I really liked this movie. The balance between the humor and action was just nice for me. Kind of like Guardians of the Galaxy, just that this one is more on the action side. The only thing that I thought was lacking in this movie was planing. I prefer to have 50:50 in terms of the planning part and the action part. Though that thing kind of came in in the 2nd part, where he actually got a hacker into his team. Totally loved that idea, but I thought that the plans were too simple, and there weren't really anything complex in the show. There were also no mini plans in each of their fights in the last part, so I was kind of disappointed in terms of the complexity of each fights. 

Totally love the last fighting scene. Really liked how they really concentrated on it and build it up. I also liked how they showed the individual old member's activity when they heard that they were disband. Though I kind of wish that they heard the news that Barney had failed the mission, and show how they were all going back for him. (you know, somewhat like that time where all the crew members were desperate to get back to Luffy when they heard that Ace died, in One Piece.) Some sort of touching moment would have been good (not in the normal and typical kind of way).

Love they way they portioned the whole movie, was really good and didn't feel boring at all. It also didn't feel long, even though there were a total of 4 parts to the whole movie. Just thought that there could have been more variety of weapons used throughout the whole movie, instead of just knifes and guns. (I thought maybe someone with dual sword would have been nice).

This movie is totally for those that love action, and little words.
