The Expendables Became Expended

Expendables 1 = awesome!

Expendables 2 = awesome!

Expendables 3 = awes…

I suppose one does not go to a Hollywood action classic like the Expendables for deep storytelling and engaging narration in particular, however I still found that the Expendables 3 did not deliver. Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) forsakes his team and attempts to replace them with a younger crew which brings the destructive momentum and hilarious nature of the original two movies to a grinding halt. This is completely out of character for Barney Ross and defies the tradition the Expendables had going.
