Apparently 4 is going ahead. Filming starts September and Hulk Hogan and Pierce Brosnan are confirmed.
So hope this is true!

That sounds far too good to be true

Just got back from watching this.
I enjoyed it, good action and Banderas and Gibson really stole the show. It wasn't as good as 2 IMO as it was missing a lot of the "banter" elements that made the first two so funny as well as action packed. Felt like it was trying to be more serious which it has no reason to be as that's not what the series is about
Still a good watch all told with some genuine laugh out loud moments.

Went to see it last night.
Quite good fun, violent but no gore, which I actually preferred.

Gotta respect the actors for taking part in these films, they look like they're hugely enjoying it and at the end of the day its all for fun. I can easily see Harrison Ford using his "It belongs in a museum!" line

It's one thing I don't get. I know they want to make money but it's a classic action film (well this is what they are trying to achieve) and that comes with OTT violence. It's not supposed to be cuddly!!

Think A-Team style violence and entertainment, there were kids in the cinema when we went to see it.

I wanna see this as I enjoyed the last two .
However Im not sure how they are gonna pull off the planned "Expendabelles" next year with a cast of female action stars.

Really enjoyed this and number 2, although didn't enjoy the first as much. Thought the other two were far funnier than 1 which felt far more serious to me overall.

It was ok. Banderas was entertaining but as usual screen time for individuals is so limited its little more than explosions. Not a bad thing in itself unless they were to make it a 12A.... oops.
Out of all of them Van Damme in Ex.2 has been by far the standout, and if given more screen time it would have been a much better film.
5/10 if you have a few beers and mates around.
Original 80's movies are still better
