The Expendables 3 (2014)

An even bigger roster with Harrison Ford taking over for Bruce Willis, Wesley Snipes, and the young Avengers. Our baddie this time around is Mel Gibson. This time… it's personal. Always gotta raise the stakes by having the villain be evil because the hero betrayed or abandoned the bad guy in their hour of need. This continues to be a fun action series with great action sequences and cheeky references. Much like its predecessors, it's a stacked cast with lots of guns and explosions. It can feel a bit crowded at times but the climax made sure to give everyone a couple of moments to shine. Definitely worth watching if you are in the mood for a popcorn flick action movie.
