The Expendables 3

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Final Trailer:

In different news, the film was leaked, went on torrent sites, and Lionsgate has filed a lawsuit.

As the article warns, be careful about the evidence you leaving behind because apparently suing users has been done.

(We need a "How to torrent anonymously" thread...)

Not as entertaining as the previous films.

Gibson plays a bad guy well, but is given very little time in the movie.

The basic story is that Stallone retires the team after someone gets hurt (which is ridiculous when you consider their line of work), gets a new team, needs help, old team to the rescue, yawn.

Banderas is the standout here. He's hilarious.

Statham is still the team's badass that seems like a legit badass.

There's a surprise return and he looks older than Harrison. Shockingly old.

The new "action stars" he tries to give career bumps to are:
-Rhonda Rousey (Legit MMA badass)
-Glen Powell who plays a tech nerd, so no badass here.
-Victor Ortiz who is most famously known for Dancing with the Stars according to his IMDB page that's pretty empty...
-Kellan Lutz who played Hercules in the ripoff version that pissed you guys off (not the Rock version) and was in the Twilight movies.

Expendables 4 is apparently in the works...
