The Expendables 3 keeps following Barney Ross and his team of Expendables, now whittled down to a team of five. It stars an ensemble cast that doesn't feel like it was as strong as the second film. It starts off with a sequence in saving Doctor Death, one of the original Expendable, played by Wesley Snipes. It feels that a lot of importance was put onto the character at the start, such as his medical ability and craziness but he was just another character. The plot is simple and at times, predictable. The concept of the team getting old and disbanding, with the leader not wanting each one to be inevitably killed has been done many times before. You know that the disbanding will not last, even when so much time was spent with the film scouting new recruits and on the conflict between the generations. As such, The Expendables 3 felt like it could have benefited from a shorter length. The climax was an explosion of gunfight and fistfights, as one would expect. The ending was bland with no surprises. Overall, The Expendables 3 was enjoyable but lacks the spark the second one had.
