Years ago, Barney Ross co-founded the Expendables with Conrad Stonebanks. After Stonebanks became an arms dealer, Ross was forced to kill him -- or so he thought. Now, Stonebanks is back, and he's on a mission to end the Expendables. Ross decides that the way to fight old blood is with new blood, so he assembles a team of younger, faster, more tech-savvy recruits. The battle to topple Stonebanks becomes a clash of old-school methods vs. high-tech expertise.

Critics Consensus

Like its predecessors, Expendables 3 offers a modicum of all-star thrills for old-school action thriller aficionados -- but given all the talent assembled, it should have been a lot more fun.

The movie borrows so liberally from other action films that it starts to feel at times a bit like a BuzzFeed listicle.

Yes, it's pretty much the same mixture as before, but slicker and more polished, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

If they're expendable, why won't they die?

The action scenes largely fail to snap, crackle, and pop.

“The Expendables 3” lacks the fun, the excitement, and the charm that the franchise built itself on.

It’s not a pretty one, but the third film, for the most part, departs from the hearty rerun missions of the first two films.

Enjoyable, I’ve watched this one a few times. Start to finish since it’s Theater release. I’m not a Hollywood expert, but when you have a successful trilogy or franchise within a film, you don’t go from a consistent R rating to PG-13. Just takes away too much of what you expect. Still a really fun film though.

Not really suspenseful or heart pounding. These once healthy and strong actors are really pushing their physical limits and their bodies show it.

I don’t know why this movie gets so low a rating, I think its probably the best of the 3.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é muito bom, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
