The Expendables 3

The Expendables 3 directed by Patrick Hughes, starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and actually I don't care because this movie was so bad.

I didn't even watch the last 45 minutes of this movie I was so bored. I hated how they took everything the first two movies built on and then destroyed them in this movie when a character almost died.  Then it was like now Stallone has a heart and doesn't want his "old" crew to go on missions with him anymore because they might die.  They are called the Expendables for a reason.  This reasoning completely rang false and ruined the whole movie.  Stallone said the reason the movie didn't make as much money was because of the PG-13 rating - no it was because this decision to have characters act in completely different ways then they had previously done before.  So the sniper of theirs that got killed in second movie wasn't as bad as Crews almost getting killed in this one?  This makes no sense.  Even for an action movie there still has to be some foundation of sense to ground things.  The previous Fast and Furious movies prove this.  They are completely insane and over the top but they keep their characters grounded with believable actions and decisions - The Expendables flushed all of this down the toilet with very sub par and boring movie.
