Review: The Expendables 3

So hey there, I just got home and I saw "The Expendables 3" today! I still can't believe it, such an amazing film.
It was my friend's b-day yesterday and today we went to a movie theater and "Step Up", which was our first choice wasn't available at that time so we changed our minds and Stallone, here I come.

First of all I have to say that I have the first one in DVD and the second one on my laptop so I can watch whenever I want. My favorite character is Lee Christmas since the first film because I think Jason Statham is one of the best actors ever.

I enjoyed watching some character again, like Barney (Sylvester Stallone) obviously, Caesar (Terry Crews), Gunnar (Dolph Lundgren), Toll (Randy Couture) and Yin (Jet Li). They are all amazing characters and amazing actors. I remember when I was little my dad used to talk about "Rocky" and some other films.

This film is all about action legends and I think that's the main reason I like this films that much. 

"The Expendables 3" starts with Barney rescuing Doc (Wesley Snipes), a former mercenary. I didn't like Doc's character, I don't exactly know why but he's an old Lee's version and I guess I prefer Lee ahah. 

Another person I missed is Church (Bruce Willis). We met a new character, named Drummer (Harrison Ford), who's playing Church's superior or something like that. I prefer Church idk

Antonio Banderas amazed me. I was not expecting him to perform such a crazy character. He's an incredible actor but this character made me realize he's one of the best. He made me laugh a lot, and he made it to the team later! His character, Galgo was always talking and I felt connected with him because I'm a pain in the ass because I always talk non-stop. But the character loves to kill and needs a job, who better than Barney to give him a job?

At first, Barney's new team felt strange, I wanted Lee, I wanted all of them again but then I started to appreciate how they all worked together. 

My personal favorite is Smilee and Thorn. Kellan Lutz played Smilee and I was stunned. I haven't seen him in a movie since Twilight and he's so fit here. Thorn was played by Glen Powell, who I recognize but I didn't knew from where. Now I know he was in NCIS and CSI Miami, I do love this shows too.

And then, wow, a woman. Luna, (in spanish luna means moon in english like galgo said) was played by Ronda Rousey and she has the best action parts in the end. I didn't appreciate her character until the very last minutes of the film. 

The last but not least, we have Mars played by Victor Ortiz. I don't remember to ever see a film with him in it, but he's a curious actor and a small guy ahah

I haven't forgot about Arnold Schwarzenegger, he appeared again and I think this is the first time I actually liked his character. Poor Caesar (Terry Crews) who spends the whole movie in the hospital. 

I love the fact that they are all good friends and the backstage has an amazing view too...

My main opinion is here: 

 . this is a great film, I enjoyed every second of it

 . the action scene in the end was my favorite scene but I think they shouldn't have done it that way

 . Galgo made me laugh a lot

 . my favorite part was when Lee and Doc tried to hit the target with the knife. they both made it but Doc's knife fell out. I enjoyed Barney & Lee's semi-hug at the end, aw :)

 . i really hope Stallone makes a fourth one because i'd pay for it.

Watch it, c'mon!

If you read until here, I love you and you are perfect no matter what,

thank you, see you soon
