"Good morning! Let's get to the CHOPPA!"

The Expendables without the R rating isn't really that great right? I miss the blood and guts flying around. That is what I was here for. Damnit.

Anyway The Expendables 3 adds young people into the mix and adds Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Anthony Banderas and star of the show Mel Gibson to the franchise.

This time around Mel Gibson is the bad guy. One of the founders of the Expendables who wanted more money and went the other route. Presumed death for years, he is suddenly back to kick ass and delivers one hell of a monologue. Like the bad guy in the last film (JCVD), the bad guy in this one steals the show too. Hopefully we'll get a memorable oldie as the baddie in 4 too.

Harrison Ford replaces Bruce Willis as the authority figure and flies a CHOPPA, Banderas kinda replaces Lundgren as the comedy guy and he does a great job and Snipes plays a "medic knife thrower" who they break out of a prison transport. The new guys and girl do their thing, but they don't bring much to the table for me. This is a franchise where I want to see my old school heroes kick arse.

Anyway, the action is alright but the PG13 rating holds it back. It must be R-rated which I'm glad the fourth one will be. And it was not like I was bored watching this, it is perfectly meh. What also helped me was that I freaking enjoy hearing Schwarzenegger say anything relating a CHOPPA. Him screaming to get to one, is still my ringtone when someone messages me. Never gets old.
