Expendables 3

Just came out of this one with Graham and it was as expected.
I won't even bother with a plot synopsis because... well really? The Expendable franchise is not known for its complex and engaging plots..

Sly and 'the Staith' reprise their roles as Barney and Christmas. Along with Randy Couture, Terry Cruze and Dolph Lundren. Into this cacophony we have Arnie, Harrison Ford (replacing Bruce Willis as the CIA contact) and Mel Gibson as the baddy. It's what you'd expect... 
Cheesy one liners.. Check!
Macho muscle flexing... Check!
Outrageous over the top bad guy... Check!

To be fair, Mel Gibsons probably the best thing in this film. It's an entertaing romp and I enjoyed it to a degree. Unfortunately the 12a rating has dampened some of the fun the previous 2 films had..

Rating ***
