Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table.

    More Goofs than you can throw a stick at.
    Oh, please. A predictable plot. Substandard action scenes. Extremely dodgy back projections - did they even use CGI? Ugh.

    How does a single screw ship suddenly become a twin screw. The gang is locked in a room above the single propeller shaft, which isn't rotating, and they escape through the bilge drains? Not possible.

    Dropping the anchor to turn the ship around is an impossible trick taken from Battleship. It couldn't have worked there, either. It's also questionable that the vessel would have had a button to release the chain.

    The ship was supposed to look like an American aircraft carrier. Even from space, it would look like an obvious fake.

    It's a fun movie, to be sure, but the comic lines were not and the script was written by a 10-year-old. The whole thing was laughable, and not in a good way. I hope that's the last of them.

    Sylvester Stallone was not involved in the creative process
    Pros

    Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, 50 Cent, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Randy Couture, Andy Garcia and Levy Tran all portray their respective character with passion.

    From aging and touching veterans to rookies who bring 'new blood', in every sense of the word, our favorite last line of defense settles scores with arms dealers and terrorists who threaten to start a world war.

    Cons

    Not having included Sylvester Stallone in the creative process and the lack of legendary action stars from the 20th century are the two main mistakes made by the producers, which explain why this fourth episode did not meet the expected results.

    According to various sources of news, Sly has either already confirmed that this was Barney Ross' last mission or claimed that he was working on 'Expend5bles'.

    Whether "Expend5bles" happens or not, the producers ought to work with Sly on the creative process - at least involve him as executive producer in order to maintain continuity - to make sure that the franchise gets back to the spirit of the initial trilogy and what made its critical and public success. Because Sly is the creator, the leader, the heart and the soul of the "Expendables".
