![]() Rating: - A total waste......not that I was expecting much in the first place. I've never been a huge Rambo fan, and this film didn't change that for me. I've seen many dumb films in my life. Most of them are in the "so bad, they're good" category - as in all of Ed Wood's films and anything by William Castle - only they knew how to make B-movies FUN. This new installment of RAMBO (and hopefully the last) is so insanely stupid, that I cannot believe that it was even greenlit in the first place. Sylvester Stallone is not an idiot. I've seen him in interviews, and he seems like a really cool, intelligent individual. He's even working on an upcoming bio-pic on Edgar Allen Poe, that he is planning to direct. I just don't see why he would waste his time on this disaster of a film, when he could have spent all of that time and energy on his POE project. Who knows? POE might actually be his first masterpiece, if he can stop wasting his time on blown up, macho doo-doo like this. Rating: - Rambo ROCKS!If you are an action fan and (especially) if you like the previous Rambo movies then you will love this one. This is probably the most violent movie I've ever seen; it is graphic and brutal but I'm not afraid to admit I love that stuff so I really enjoyed it. All these jerks complaining about how it's too violent need to wake up to themselves- if you don't like violent movies then don't watch them! Seriously, this is an awesome movie- it is great that Stallone has resurrected the true, eighties style action movie and he deserves credit for that. I think this is the best Rambo yet and I highly recommend it. Don't listen to those stupid movie critics who never have anything good to say about any movie that isn't some mamby pamby arthouse garbage- they don't know what they are talking about. Five stars. Rating: - When You're Pushed... Killing's As Easy As BreathingThere is no doubt that Stallone was going to take huge abuse for sending out this 4th installment in the hugely successful "Rambo" franchise. Everyone forgets that it worked only a few months ago when 60 year old Rocky Balboa stepped into the ring for one more round (is his 6th outing) in another hugely successful franchise. But, unlike Rambo, Rocky was a far more complex, well written and hugely likeable character. The underdog: who against all odds becomes a symbol of hope and realising your dreams. Rambo was always going to be more of a bulls-eye for critics. Rightly so, it's not as superbly written nor as good as Rocky Balboa. But if good means "a well crafted story, excellent dialogue, outstanding performances, and complex characters" then RAMBO (like the other 3 films) was never going to be your night out anyway. In fact, even Rocky Balboa, to a certain extent, was purely another round for "the fans". That's exactly what Rambo is... it's for the fans. It truly plays out more like a series of Rambo's "Greatest Hits". With Rocky, we have the catchy "Gonna Fly Now" theme played out over the training montage... and with Rambo - the now more mature and updated Rambo Theme (Brian Tyler does an awesome job with Jerry Goldsmith's Theme from First Blood Part 2) whilst we are re-introduced to the troubled Vietnam Vet. Both are there stirring up all the emotions and flash-backs of why we are really watching these films. We loved watching Rocky smash ...

Although the other Rambo movies are violent, none of them are on the scale of this one. To demonstrate the sorts of things that happen in war torn countries such as Burma, the film graphically portrays men, women, and children being shot and killed. How to deal with such situations is the gloomy message of the film. In the film the Christian missionaries are attempting to help the situation by bringing medical supplies and the Christian message. Rambo on the other hand tells them that without weapons they cannot change anything. Rambo is correct. In the end, the missionaries accomplish nothing and only answering violence with aggressive take no prisoners is what wins in the end. Rambo is merciless in the film when dealing with the enemy. Rather than just snapping a guys neck, Rambo pulls his throat out. At the end Rambo almost sits there and savors the moment as he cuts the last soldiers guts out. The one missionary also sees that only violence can work in the situation when he beats a man to death with a rock. The message of the movie is grim, does it take an escalation of violence to deal with the worlds problems? That seems to be the message here. Well, I gave it 4 stars for a couple of reasons. This may sound crazy, but there was not enough traditional Rambo music in it from the other films. The movie was a bit short and seemed to end abruptly. And ...

Dont get me wrong, I thought it was pretty good and I was most definately entertained. But, I am curious where the Hollywood hypocrites were on this movie? You know, the ones that called Mel Gibsons Apocalypto a piece of crap because of all the ridiculous violence. Oh wait, I guess Sly Stallone isnt in the Hollywood dog house like Mel is, is he? This movie makes Mel's look like Sesame Street. So much of objectivity. Browse for similar items by category:
