Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "The Expendables 4" in English language version.
Gravity is setting in throughout Expend4bles, a movie whose most enticing mystery is not the secret identity of its shadowy villain, but how you pronounce the film's title. Are we supposed to enunciate the mid-word numeral, or is it merely visual? Is this what stands for a smart new spin on a tired franchise? Will we soon have My Big F4t Greek Wedding? Are these questions supposed to distract us from how stunningly mediocre the film is?
Expend4bles—pronounced ecks-pen-d-for-bulls—opened to just $8.3 million.
Expend4bles (yes, that's really the on-screen title) aims to recapture that spirit, even down to bringing back the R rating after the bloodless third movie.

has generic name (help)The fourth installment of the action movie franchise The Expendables arrived in theaters on Sept. 22, under a ridiculous title, Expend4bles.
The first thing you need to know about Expendables 4 is that its studio somehow made the grating decision to fashion its title as Expend4bles. It's a needless spelling challenge for a dull and vulgar flick with a lot of empty-calories muscle, but little-to-no skill or fun to spare. The second thing you need to know is, that insertion of "4" is, unfortunately, just about the most clever thing the fourth installment of this star-studded action series has to offer.
