Because The Rock is a bigger star, and he's not gonna take a supporting role.

I'm very late to the party, but I've finally watched and reviewed this.

It was okay-lah. The last half-hour of action saved it. But everything that came before was just dumb.

And not the good kind of dumb either. I'd rather watch the first Predator again. That was uber-testosterone-ified action done right.

But that's exactly what people are saying about The Expendables. So I think it's right to compare it to Predator, because Predator is what The Expendables is trying to be.

That's what I meant. The Expendables hypes itself as the most macho and testosterone-packed action movie ever, but it cannot even beat Predator in that department.

Well, yes, Predator gets serious in its 2nd half when all these super manly action men start getting pwned. But before the Predator shows up, it was pure '80s cheeseball action. It was practically self-parody.

If they're smart, they'll say yes next time.

And if Stallone is smart, he'll ask them again.

He was also in Blade 2 as a kehlehfeh.

Bolo Yeung? Feh. If they can get Al Leong, then I'll be interested.
