Viewing Notes

Watched the Director’s Cut. While it’s a mild improvement (CG blood cleaned up, tighter editing, a bit more “character development”) THE EXPENDABLES is still THE EXPENDABLES. It’s a meat-head attempt at the “ultimate man movie” that falls short and is more like a Direct To Video movie you’ll find in the bargain bin at Walmart. Still, I enjoy it for what it is.
