But the fact remains: An Expendables movie should be fun, and for long stretches, this one isn’t. The film actually has some solid elements-a couple of appealing supporting performances, a good villain, effective comic relief, and even some awkward but sincere attempts at subtext about its aging cast. After three movies, The Expendables has collectively mustered less than a handful good setpieces, and the new installment, The Expendables 3, might contain the series’ worst action to date. And yet that one key need has proven surprisingly difficult for this franchise to manage. No one expects Oscar-caliber writing or heartbreaking theatrics, just simple, clear excitement. That’s all anyone requires of The Expendables.
