	Author	Review
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Hughes (...) handle the assignment skillfully enough, but without much imagination, sticking to a conventional action style that is more about the quantity of explosions than nuances of execution"	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Once you take the grizzled seniors out of the picture and replace them with the United Commandos of Benetton, The Expendables 3 loses the one thing that makes it special"	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"You need 'The Expendables 3' like you need a kick in the crotch (...) it will waste considerably more of your time"	NEG

The difference here is that, for all the cast’s reheated catchphrases and grandfatherly winking, there’s no joke to be in on (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"You couldn’t call it confusing. This film knows what it wants, and gets it by the shortest possible route. It may be boneheaded; ridiculous it isn't (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Anyone expecting the erstwhile Indiana Jones to go mano a mano with the former Mad Max is guaranteed to be disappointed (...) an unremittingly leaden slog (...) Rating: 0 (out of four)"	NEG
