10 "Terrible" Movie Sequels That Are Actually Good

10. The Expendables 3

A who's who of Hollywood action heroes - both past and present - got together in one of cinema's most entertaining smackdowns, The Expendables, released way back in 2010. Undeniably entertaining, ridiculously logic-defying and thrilling from beginning to end, the action-packed film was a success and it spawned two sequels in 2012 and 2014.

While the second one - which featured the reintroduction of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Trench Mauser in a more regular capacity - took it to greater heights both critically and commercially, the third film's record ain't so pristine.

Infamous for its negative critical reception and poor box office performance (due to the fact that it leaked online weeks before its release), The Expendables 3 sees the team come face-to-face with their co-founder - who now wants to destroy them. And you know what? That's a pretty spectacular plot for an action movie!

It's not as deep as the second installment and, overall, it certainly feels like a step back for the franchise, but to call it terrible would be to insult a damn fine action flick. There are some great set pieces throughout (though we wouldn't expect anything less from a Stallone movie) and, Antonio Banderas and Wesley Snipes are in it! I mean, come on: What more could you want?
