50 Stallone Movies Ranked From Best To Worst
29) THE EXPENDABLES 3 (2014)
Years from now people will look back at this slapstick and say, man, what a waste. Technically speaking, it’s the biggest assembly of action stars to ever appear in a movie. Go ahead and look over the others, even the first two movies, they don’t have the fire power on display here.
This cast is unprecedented. And given their age and the fact that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, it’ll never happen again. They blew it. People are talking about the PG-13 rating, but the problems of this movie are much more serious than that. The Expendables 3 is a bush league farce that disrespects every one of its stars but one, Sylvester Stallone.
The corner cutting permeates everything about it. From the SEGA Genesis ‘CGI’, to scenes being filmed once again in abandoned warehouses and airfields. What the fuck happened to the half a billion we gave you on ticket and Blu-Ray sales for the first two movies? You couldn’t for once give us a movie with a budget? The best illustration of this streak of cut-price film making comes with the final fight. John Rambo Vs. Martin Riggs? Nah, it’s a fucking disaster. Filmed deliberately from a distance and in the dark to try and cover the fact that this duel of the ages is filmed almost exclusively using stunt doubles. And once again Stallone kicks ass with Barney Ross being untouchable. Steve Austin, c-rate action star, kicked his ass in the first movie, but Mel Gibson’s stunt double catches a brief beating in this movie? Why?
