Style and tone =/= genre. They where all hyped as fun men on a mission movies.
I love how everyone start yelling Die Hard 4 until they're blue in the face, but conveniently ignore Terminator Salvation. Fat load of good making a Terminator movie with no violence did for them.
There is plenty of violence in Terminator Salvation. It is a flat out lie to say it didn't. I didn't like the film but it had plenty of violence.
Blood and gore is not what makes something violent. There was probably more blood and gore in Salvation then in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Guess which was more violent.

Terminator 4 didn't have the original hero. It was dumb to ever try and make a a Terminator film with Arnold. He is the Terminator. Still, both it and T3 made way more then the first Expendables.
And nope, they were not marketed as the same films. The Expendables was come and watch the badasses of your youth be badasses. That is exactly how they will market the sequel. The A-Team was come watch this fun, over the top action intended for the whole family.
