The Expendables Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ 匚ㄖㄖ爪乃乇丂
January 31, 2025
The Expendables was an excellent movie in it's original version - the only issue I had with the original version was the climax - the action sequences did not live up to what was seen at the beginning of the movie - This new version titled The Expendables: Extended Directors Cut - does fix that issue with the ending - and the ending is far more dramatic and spectacular now - the action sequences are longer in the climax which makes the ending more satisfying. However with this new extended cut comes a few new extra scenes at the start which kind of slow the pace down - and don't really do anything new for the plot. For example there are some music-video type narrative scenes, if you don't know what I mean there are a number of these types of scenes in COBRA and ROCKY IV - these ruin the pace and are really not required - if a scene can be done without sticking a song over it, it should be done that way - it's just lazyness on the moviemaker's part. Also there is a rather dumb sequence showing Dolph Lundgren's character somehow coming out of the plane that Sly and Jason Statham have travelled on to the island of Vilaina at the start of the movie (somehow Dolph managed to misaculously avoid being caught by the other 2 expendables en-route.) this only serves to ruin what were otherwise alread excellently edited scenes in the original movie. Which is why I give this an excellent 4 star rating rather than the perfect 5 it should have been. out of the two versions I prefer the previous uncut bluray release - however this disc is still a must-buy just to see the excellent end action sequences in their newly edited form. If Sly had simply slapped the new ending on the otherwise excellent original this would've been the perfect special edition. This is still an excellent version to watch however and an excellent companion piece to the original movie and worthy of being part of your collection.

The rest of the mayhem is simply ultraviolent, nonstop, and numbing. Better jokes might have helped.

Stallone's boasted that he's made the drunk uncle of all dumb action movies and in several ways he has
Detroit News
Adam Graham
I's a bit like a trip to the gym on a flat tire.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's not the age of the actors that makes The Expendables expendable. It's the stale storytelling.
Slant Magazine
Lauren Wissot
In lieu of a flurry of left hooks and roundhouse kicks, we stay safely in Stallone's comfort zone of shoot 'em ups and s--- getting blown up.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
Unnatural but kind of remarkable.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Offers up neither clearly delineated characters nor any fundamental character of its own.

The Expendables is more than just your average action movie; it is the action movie of the year uniting the grittiness and soul of the old genre with the special effects and coolness of the new genre. See it.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
What you will find is both familiar in its contours and unique in its casting.
Salon.com
Michael Joshua Rowin
Rather than reviving the actors' 80s heyday, The Expendables only demonstrates how much action films have changed in recent years.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Sylvester Stallone's gun-emptying, blade-tossing, clandestine action flick "The Expendables" is great fun. Sure, this declaration comes with caveats, but do you really need to hear them?
New York Times
A.O. Scott
As a whole, the movie, whose title dimly evokes "They Were Expendable," a 1945 John Ford combat picture starring John Wayne and Robert Montgomery, might more aptly be described as Bad Kurosawa, Bad Peckinpah or Bad Leone.
Film.com
Laremy Legel
The world has changed since Rambo and Arnold held sway, which isn't the film's fault. But it's going to be held accountable anyway.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
There's nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure. We all have them: Those movies that we know suck that we can't help but watch on cable every time they come on. But they still SUCK.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Bullets, knives and bare hands fly in an incomprehensible vortex as arms and heads and body parts get thrown into the melee.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The brain-dead male equivalent of Sex and the City 2.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
There's no one to blame but Stallone for action sequences that degenerate into incoherence, to the point where it's impossible to know who's truck is exploding and who's shooting at whom.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
While Stallone's film won't win any Oscars, it gives off a dopey genre high that's hard not to catch.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
This is truly a movie that nobody needs -- gratuitously savage, implausible and sometimes incoherent.
