I don't think anybody expected it otherwise, but at least it's too bad either as this movie could have been catastrophic (look no further than UNISOL THE RETURN) especially considering the lack of interest from everybody involved from JC to Dolph and the producers who only care about the cash.
I bet JCVD sleepwalks throughout the movie, and the new characters who seem to play a big part don't seem very interesting (not mentioning it sounds like it's gonna look quite cheap). So I wouldn't care about it if Dolph wasn't there, and even now I wouldn't mind only seeing a 10-15mins cut with only the Dolph scenes.
