The Buzz Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 I just got back from seeing Rambo and have to say it was pretty awesome. I went in hoping for a badass action movie with enough plot to get from point a to point b, and thats what I got. Stallone was good, and I have to say it might be my favorite of the Rambo series just because of how well it was shot, and the action sequences.
AntiLeaf33 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 I got my hands on a DVD Screener and I skimmed through it. Looks pretty awesome. Might go and pay to see it now (I'm a broke ass student, so I need to choose wisely what movies I pay to see in theatres)
Brocklock Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 It's pretty incredible. There are at least 5 holy shit moments in the movie that made everyone in the audience gasp. Stallone was really good here and it was a great companion piece to Rocky Balboa. It's got to be one of the most violent mainstream movies in a long time. At least since Saving Private Ryan. They do throw a baby into a fire and I've haven't seen that many young kids get killed in a movie since Beware Children At Play. The entire sequence where the Burmese army attacks all the missionaries and the Burma townspeople towards about a half hour into a movie is very disturbing to watch
The Buzz Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 That was one of the things that may have bothered me a little bit about the movie. It was just really intense.
Vigo Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 The movie is pretty violent and short at around 80 min so that unrated DVD that comes out will be interesting to see what they had to cut out to get the R rating.
ZGangsta Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 I saw it last night and yeah it was pretty intense. All the really horrible stuff they showed with the Burmese soldiers really served to make you celebrate Rambo killing them with extreme prejudice.
cabbageboy Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Truth be told I don't really think all the ultra insane violence really even fits the series. I watched #2 and 3 tonight and there really isn't all that much crazy sick shit in them. Maybe him shooting the one dude in #2 with the exploding arrow, but that's it. While I enjoyed this one pretty well the review it is getting on imdb.com are a bit absurd. 8.1?? Hell, it's really only the 3rd best movie in the series behind Rambo: First Blood Part 2 and First Blood. It is better than the dreary Rambo III though.
Karnage Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 The ending was awesome but the whole exploitation of the whole Burma situation just was too hard for me to stomach. When I think of Rambo series, I usually think of fun ridiculous movies and its hard to get pumped for all the fun with all the somber stuff ( such as the beginning which used real-life footage ).
Nighthawk Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 The thing it lacked was a decisive villain. It's just "bad guys" and "bad guy leader". What sets him apart? He smokes and wears sunglasses? Meh.
Lil' Bitch Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 This movie was too fucking awesome. The dramatic dialogue, the brutalization the innocents face and all the guts, blood and explosions...I could go on in detail, but I'd just go on and on. It started off a little slow, but overall it was all too wonderful. Highly recommended!
AntiLeaf33 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 The last 5 or 6 minutes is pretty damn intense. So much blood in so little time.
Bruiser Chong Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 The dramatic dialogue Haha, what?
Bruiser_Brody_ Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 9/10 in my book. "Fuck the World" Indeed
DrVenkman PhD Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 This movie was too fucking awesome. The dramatic dialogue, the brutalization the innocents face and all the guts, blood and explosions...I could go on in detail, but I'd just go on and on. It started off a little slow, but overall it was all too wonderful. Highly recommended! Weren't you the guy that hated Shoot Em Up!? Anyway, saw it last Tuesday. Didn't like the real violence at the beginning but the everyone seemed to enjoy the fake stuff. You really wanted to see those Burmese jerks killed! Out of focus Rambo sneaking up from the back was good for a laugh, as was the conversation on the boat about 2 feet away from him where they acted like he was really far away.
Nighthawk Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 By the way, the best ending would have been him slowly walking back to his family's house all through the credits, then when he gets there it explodes.
DrVenkman PhD Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 That's what we thought too. We were waiting for it (we being the people I saw the movie with, not a split personality). We also speculated that R. Rambo (John's dad) has the first name Rocky.
Lil' Bitch Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Weren't you the guy that hated Shoot Em Up!? Please don't get me started.
Y2BigJ Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Rambo's dad's name is clearly Rambo Rambo.
Jericholic82 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I saw it about 3 weeks ago. Great action flick with an actual plot that tears at your heart because you know this stuff actually goes on over there. Stallone was trying to get a message across and I guess he did. Much better movie than even I expected going in. The effects were top-notch and the gore, hard to watch. The theater was exploding with cheers and applause as Rambo wreaked vengeange. ( a side note- there were like 8 underage kids in there by themselves who were pissing me off by being obnoxious, plus I looked to the side during the movie and noticed a lady was holding a young baby) The ending was very poignant and a fitting end to the Rambo series. Can't wait for the unrated dvd as previously mentioned here. Great film to watch in a theater IMO. Go see it, It
The Buzz Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Posted February 19, 2008 Well I guess it's not really the last movie, as they are pretty much set to make the fifth installment. He's also doing a remake of Death Wish, directing a movie about the life of Edgar Allen Poe, possibly a movie about the murders of Biggie/2-Pac, and might be involved with the new Tarantino movie. I was reading a random article off of google that he's signed on for three more movies.

Nighthawk Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Hey, Poe was no boring academic. His life'd make a god movie, and a fun one.
CheesalaIsGood Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Another high comedy from good ole' Sly. I laughed my ass off at how retarded this movie was. Loved every second of it.

Lord of The Curry Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 You made a new post instead of editing the original.........why? As for Rambo, fucking loved it. Just intense and gully as shit. They kill kids like it's no thing.
