Namely the fact to interject some 'fresh blood' into Sly's team. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but there was one thing I didn't approve of. Therefore, I was really expecting to LOVE the third instalment. And, for the record, I enjoyed part 2 even more. The first Expendables outing was definitely fun. It never takes itself seriously, so don't expect anything dark and moody, just fun. So, if you generally like (or can at least remember) some of these faces from yesteryear and the epic on-screen battles they fought then you'll probably enjoy the nostalgia trip which this film basically is.
What you have is a bunch of old men who really should be playing golf and yet we suspend our disbelief long enough to believe that they can really run, jump, punch and generally take on wave after wave of insignificant bad guys without so much as getting shot. However, in case you're in any wonder as to what it's all about, it's basically an ensemble cast (led by Sly Stallone) of all the biggest (and best?) action stars of the eighties (plus Jason Statham thrown in for good measure). Therefore, I would generally recommend starting with part 1 and going from there. If you're thinking of watching 'The Expendables 3,' then 'part 3' is a kind of odd place to start any franchise.
