Thankfully, notes have been taken, problems have been addressed, and “ The Expendables 3,” while far from an ironclad masterpiece, is probably as enjoyable as this genre can get. All the elements for a good time are there, but the first two movies in the franchise sagged and swayed, faltering under sloppy direction, limp scripts and a staggering lack of style. The conceit behind the Sylvester Stallone-led “ The Expendables” franchise has thus far been niftier than the resulting movies: take a bunch of iconic, past-their-prime action stars from the eighties heyday of macho filmmaking, put them together, lob some old age jokes their way, add excessive gunplay and heat well.
