You know, the movies are not great, and some say underwhelming, but I was born in 83 and a lot of these guys are my heroes.I will continue to see them as long as they come out. I have met Chuck in Iraq and Arnold in Cali, both seemed like genuine good guys and I didn't feel like they thought they were better than me. I would really like to meet Sly and Li as well.
The movie now has a PG-13 rating

So you think gritty films should be neutered to fulfill box office expectations, that films should care more about profit than artistic merit?
Yeah, a PG-13 rating has effectively killed any interest I had in this film, which is a shame, because I really liked Expendables II (why? Because it was a r-rated bloodfest). Damn shame they have to wrap up a series with such potential on such a weak note.

Even if it was given a R rating, Do you really think it would've made heaps at the box office?..... regardless or it even maybe even being good or not
only certain amount of people go to see those sort of movies as it is
people have just become pussy-fied these days in regards to movies with R rating
i'm also wondering if when it comes to the dvd/Blu-ray release will get a directors cut version with it being uncut.
I like the expendables its nice to see a movie that's not litterd with teenage TITALATION and googoo gaggaa crap for a change. Its a nice change from constant reboots and film remakes. The expendables are ORIGINAL and the movie has heart. Stallone pays theses guys outta pocket and the old timers doing this film do the film to have fun they are not in it for the money. Hopefully someday some of the people criticizing this film will get this through their brain. As far as the film being PG-13 who the fuc cares it still can be a good movie. Not a huge difference between PG-13 and R anymore theses days.
I thought it was decent. Admittedly, I enjoyed it for the same reasons I liked the first two (first one more than the second). I like senseless fun and action, I like the in-jokes, and I think that Sly has a great cast who don't take themselves too seriously. Favourite character in this movie: Banderas! At one stage I seriously considered casting him for a Deadpool movie 😂
NVM what I said earlier. Just watched this at my barbershop. Definitely the best Expendables they've made. Everybody was great in this and it was action packed. Gibson was definitely on his A game. Ford replacing Willis was a good choice IMO. Snipes was awesome and clearly hasn't lost his edge. The young team were also enjoyable. All in all, it was a fun action-packed popcorn flick. I'll definitely be seeing it in theaters when I get the chance.
