The action scenes largely fail to snap, crackle, and pop.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 27, 2023

“The Expendables 3” lacks the fun, the excitement, and the charm that the franchise built itself on.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2022

It’s not a pretty one, but the third film, for the most part, departs from the hearty rerun missions of the first two films.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2022

Sadly, none of these actors have much to do, and the mere presence of Indiana Jones, Rambo, Kindergarten Cop, El Mariachi, Mad Max, Blade, and Dr. Frasier Crane isn’t enough.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 5, 2022

Yes, there is a lot of action with a flavor of cinema from another era, but nothing that really stands out. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 9, 2021

The muscles and gags are starting to sag...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 25, 2021

Most of the other performances aren't so much performances as they are action star posturing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2021

By now, no one should be surprised by the flimsy plot, the tepid dialogue peppered with eye-rolling catch phrases, or the nonstop detonations.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Is neither as good as some of its fans are saying nor the travesty that others are proclaiming.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

Basically, if you've seen the first two then you know what to expect with the third. There's little in the way of plot and lots in the way of stunt action set pieces.

The Expendables 3 is about having fun - both on and off screen. Hi-octane exhilaration. Has you breathless from beginning to end. Beyond Badass!

Wrinkly Expendables to the wall.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 25, 2019

Expendables 3 is no fun, with its muted colors and piles of grey rubble adding to the numbing effect of the nonsensical action.

| Original Score: 3.5/10 | Mar 22, 2019

A bloated entry in the popular action franchise that should signal the end of the Sylvester Stallone revival.

| Feb 1, 2019

I'd confidently say The Expendables 3 is the best of the franchise, but that's like bragging about being the best player for a really [expletive] sports team.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 1, 2018

The Expendables 3 offers up a cast with effortless chemistry, pulls no punches with the action and when this film is moving, this is a train I never want to get off.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Oct 23, 2018

There was a time when the idea of action heroes bandied together was an entertaining prospect. Now that the idea has been rinsed dry, it may well be time for these doddering die-hards to be put out to pasture.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2018

Expendables 3 almost feels like watching a high school reunion, only without the self-analysis and evaluation.

| Nov 28, 2017

While an ensemble cast is indeed impressive, you might feel that so much more could have been done with the story in terms of excitement.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2017

Other than the more kid-friendly format, the computer-generated special effects have been amped up to ludicrous science-fiction levels, perhaps to compensate for the lower adrenaline levels and less on-screen blood.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2017
