The Expendables 3 review

Sly is back in the third instalment in the Expendables franchise, I sat down to watch the movie with a sense of optimism despite being let down to what could of been in the previous two movies. How ever I couldn't miss this movie for the pure fact that Wesley snipes is in it, But yet again they feel the need to mix the movies script with the casts older movies or real life. When snipes asked why he had been in jail during the opening sequence he jokes saying "tax invasion" which is why he got sent down in 2008 and of course Arnold had to use Get to the choppa line again which really annoyed me I let snipes get away with it but after sitting through the movie I was relatively happy until he had to go and say it. This is the reason to which I hated the second one which I will not go into in this review. 

When the Expendables was first announced there were two types of people interested 1) people who love movies during 80's/90's and we're extremely excited to see all their favourite action heroes and 2) now these were were the people who also loved the movies during the time but were sceptical to a bunch of over 50's (bar Jason Statham) booting up for an action movie. Despite the negatives it is a good movie and has some funny scenes and it is nice to see new blood in the franchise, it has great action sequences and the brought the age down to 12a so they are not just focusing on blood but better script. 

The movie took in less on its open weekend than it's predecessors but personally is my favourite and would advise people to go and see it.

I'm going to give this film a ⭐️⭐️⭐️. 
⭐️- do not watch

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-must watch
