Harry wants a new RAMBO movie Every Year!

First! by Uncle Salty Walt	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:50:25 PM
How come there's no comment on the X-Files 2 Spoiler pics floating around?
"These Burmese Bastards" by Mrs. Harry Knowles	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:51:09 PM
"The [Christian] missionaries...good natured pure folk." Mission accomplished, Rambo.
Um by skimn	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:52:02 PM
was it AWESOME?
Harry loved Rambo. Color me shocked. by King_In_Yellow	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:52:05 PM
Anyone else?
Sounds good by CherryValance	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:54:39 PM
I intend to be there first showing Friday.

I wanna see Harry trash a flick for once... by Uncle Salty Walt	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:59:18 PM
...not that it has to be this one, but I'm starting to smell some serious Payola going on with this site. I have been reading AICN for years now, and have just recently joined up for the talkbacks. but come on now - not every new movie is worthy of such outrageous positive support. And, the entire Heath Ledger talkback fracas was really something! Only on AICN can you get such crazy shit. Whew!
yes! by virtual_ninja	Jan 23rd, 2008 06:59:24 PM
iam glad to hear that the movie is action packed and gory! will check it out when it hits theatres in my country.
Of course it's fucking good by robertplant	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:00:24 PM
I just saw the other three last week for the first time and for the most part with the exception of the slightly weaker 3rd they are all fucking great.
wow.. I hope Harry isnt kissing ass by Stallone82	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:00:37 PM
wow great review if true! I am going to see Rambo DAY ONE!!! With or without Harry's Review. But its hard to take this with a grain of salt when he is always so buddy buddy with Stallone. hmmmmm would Harry have the balls to say it sucked and still assume Sly would show up for his GREAT 5 Day Q&A. I think not. Sly I am going to be there Day One ayways :) I just hope it is 1/2 as good as Harry said. He has a bad track record.
This movie is for every ACTION fan that has grown watching PUSSI by ABking	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:05:09 PM
Go support this film with your clammy 10 bucks...it will be well worth the action and carnage that Stallone has dreamed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its official - i cannot wait any longer by DonnyUnitas	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:05:47 PM
i'm incredibly pumped. Thanks for the review without any huge spoilers, Harry.
I am rooting for this by Silverglade	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:08:31 PM
I will see it on Friday evening and I am very excited about it. I hope it has that feeling that First Blood part II had. Pure unleashed Rambo tearing shit up and seen as this master of his environment, a master of technique, skill and survivability. Go Sly! I am rooting for you! And thanks for making it happen!
mercenaries are badass by troutpencil	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:08:44 PM
I consider myself somewhat of an expert on mercenary cinema and I hope this fits into that subgenre. (My favorite mercenary movies are the wild geese and the dogs of war with christopher walken.)

Jesse Jane + Strap On + Harry = Good Review by Stallone82	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:10:48 PM
HBO's Entourage hit Harry on the Head... when they had their "internet reviewer" ie: Harry Knowles. I wounder if Harry didnt get free trips, toast of the screening, buffet, Q&A yearly access - ie: Sylvester Stallone. WOULD Harry give a Bad Review?? I dont think so... Is it a Urban Legend with the Strap On? hmmmmmmm....
Colour me Stoked...cannee wait! by KillaKane	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:11:26 PM
So glad to see Sly reclaiming his action hero crown, I hope Rambo does the numbers so Sly can get the juice to pursue other Big Screen projects. Personally I'd love for Stallone to buddy up in Inglorious Bastards, just wish QT would stop pissing around with Russ Meyer remakes and jump back into the mainstream with something big.
I am looking forward to this film. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:12:06 PM
Will bring me back to my days of being a kid in Jr High. This sounds like the old school type of action film we've not seen in a real long time. A nice hard R action film. Will feel like a pair of old shoes. Can't wait.
This sounds like what "Live Free or Die Hard" SHOULD have been.. by Abin Sur	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:13:49 PM
Rambo blowing shit up...how I love that nostalgic feeling.
Still can't get over that bit in the trailer... by Rendell	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:14:42 PM
where Rambo unloads the 20mm anti-aircraft gun into the driver at point-blank range! And you thought Saving Private Ryan was brutal...
No advance reviews = almost always a bad movie by PornKing	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:16:04 PM
Hopefully this is an exception but I don't hold out much hope now.
Sly do RAMBO 5!! by coltrautman	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:16:07 PM
I want a new Rambo movie every year!!
Rambo should get those commie bastards by skywalkerfamily	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:17:45 PM
I hate those commiees.
Harry Reviews by Outrider304	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:18:00 PM
I'm so glad Harry liked this one, because I was stoked to see it after the trailer. Once I read this review, I breathed a sigh of relief that my excitement over the trailer might be translated to the whole film. Oh wait, didn't Harry also give a positive review of "Rise of the Silver Surfer"? Oh crap....
New Rambo every year by NeoDevilbaneX	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:18:02 PM
"When it's January, you know it's Rambo!"
"He's cantankerous, prickly and oh so irritable" by YackBacker	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:19:59 PM
Jesus, man. Economy of language! All of those words mean the same freakin' thing. I hear that Batman is quiet, silent and oh so hard to hear when he attacks as well!
If blowing shit up has a name by skywalkerfamily	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:20:01 PM
It must be Rambo
Congrats, Sly by YackBacker	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:21:30 PM
It sounds like you put together quite the spectacle of carnage. In this post-KILL BILL world in which we live, I hope you raised the bar.
Blood and guts. by Fenrisulfr	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:25:16 PM
I'll go watch it on Friday, and I can't fucking wait. I don't know if it'll be awesome. I don't think so, but I know the final massacre will be orgasmic for every action junkie. And most importantly, I will go to SUPPORT old-school non-pussified action movies. I am sick, sick to death, sick to puke of PG-13 family-friendly blockbusters and action pieces touched by the Syndrome Of Michael Bay. Sick of all this shit. I won't pay a dollar anymore to go watch another Die Hard 4. Let the heads roll under Sly's Machete... and let the bodies hit the fucking floor !
RAMBO! by Chaka!	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:26:38 PM
Was there a bad Rambo movie? If you believe so, then place yourself firmly in the Commie section, and await a visit from Rambo
Sounds like the Rocky Balboa from a year back- by TomBodet	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:29:41 PM
solid, grounded in the best parts of the first one in the run, doesn't try to do too much, etc. That's good. I'll prob. check it out.
last time I checked, the Rambo movies were all shit by Rupee88	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:29:47 PM
I know Stallone is cool to answer question on the site, but that doesn't change the facts.
The majority of reviews have been GREAT so far... by ABking	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:30:40 PM
Stallone has done it again...first ROCKY BALBOA and now RAMBO! JO-BLO, CHUD and IGN all agree...RAMBO is the real deal!
Is there any Frank Stallone music? by tonagan	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:34:59 PM
Or at least John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band?
Rupee88 by YackBacker	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:36:17 PM
You've crushed my hopes for RAMBO with your comment! Very persuasive , man!
The last action hero. by Fenrisulfr	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:37:03 PM
Sly is truely the ONE TRUE LAST ACTION FUCKING HERO. I thought when Arnold retired in 2003 it was done and over. Sly had arguably disappeared since his memorable performance in Copland. But here he is... 10 years later. Only two films, and what a fucking come back already!
1980 stars today! by skywalkerfamily	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:38:23 PM
With Rambo! Next up, Indiana Jones!
RAMBO: CARNAGE by omega_786	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:39:19 PM
Or in Sly's language...CARNAGIOUS!
Unlike I Am Legend and Cloverfield... by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:40:10 PM
This is hype you should believe in.
By the way it's Rambo 4 overseas by ricarleite	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:40:37 PM
So let the confusion begin!
Sing it people... by Fenrisulfr	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:40:49 PM
You know you loved that Drowning Pool song from the trailer. Sing it folks, get ready for the fucking carnage and lets all sing together: "Let the bodies hit the floor... let the bodies hit the floor... let the bodies hit the floor..." lol
I wouldnt mind a new Rambo movie every year. by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:41:35 PM
Do it!!
Observations... by 5 by 5	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:42:41 PM
TB's to Harry's reviews always include: Someone pointing out a spelling/grammatical error, someone pointing out that he does nothing but positive reviews, someone pointing out Harry is biased, someone saying Harry got some kind of payoff... blah blah blah. It's like watching old Saturday morning Scooby Doo cartoons.
God forbid Harry have his own opinion about stuff... by GeekyAnimeNerd79Beyotch	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:45:20 PM
God damn forbid!!!!!!
Grammatical corrections are so lame. by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:45:32 PM
A total waste of space. What does it prove?
Moriarty, Capone etc...your RAMBO reviews please! by ABking	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:49:38 PM

"Now RAMBO isn't a subtle film. by BadMrWonka	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:51:08 PM

Over The Top Review by Alex Trevelyan	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:52:19 PM
I'd have to agree the review here is absolutely over the top. The stock in Mr. Harry's integrity is falling all the time with these HYPERBOLOIC reviews. Words are a currency sir. Spend them wisely! Anyway First Blood is good. A Classic. Rambo 2 is simply dated and poor. Rambo 3 "dedicated to the people of Afghanistan" (in the closing credits) is a terrible piece of communication and not entertaining. Rambo I think will be on a par with the first but not as good. I look forward to it and Sly can sleep easy as its going to make a fortune. $40m plus or minus $5m in the opening weekend. Cheers now!
"Now RAMBO isn't a subtle film." by BadMrWonka	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:52:55 PM
in other news, rain is wet... I hope thisone is fun, but oh JESUS did the theatrical trailer stink. I saw it before cloverfield, and the ENTIRE audience was laughing at it, it was so bad. some of the lines, jesus christ. I don't know how anyone could say them without laughing, they were so stupid. but you know, explosions boom boom shooting blood, yada yada, I'm sure a lot of you all will love it.
the 300 crowd should eat this up into a bloody BLOCKBUSTER! by ABking	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:56:40 PM
They turned out for 300 and this movie is gonna make 300 look like ENCHANTED!
I was hoping for a quite, slow paced, character study... by The Dum Guy	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:58:20 PM
Guess I'll have to enjoy seeing shit get blown up and people getting their head lobbed off.
But this is cool boom boom by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:59:02 PM
Not Transformers "bought a car, turned out to be a robot", "get outta my backyard my parents are gonna freak!!" boom boom....but I giant cannon blasting fools into a million pieces and tearing suckas to shreds boom boom. Ya know...the good kind...
by critch	Jan 23rd, 2008 07:59:33 PM
"I won't pay a dollar anymore to go watch another Die Hard 4." What, a perfectly good movie, and one of the tops in the franchise, that doesn't have other word being 'fuck' and gallons of blood pouring everywhere? Grow up, I'll see Rambo and enjoy it most likely but there is nothing wrong with a pg-13 action movie.
Rambo vs The Cloverfield mosnter by Lanceloco	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:01:33 PM

Please, Rambo would have destroyed those comic book "Spartans" by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:01:39 PM
Pulling the shields away "Get that shit outta my face don't you know who da fuck I am??"
Grow up? by Fenrisulfr	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:06:38 PM
It's not a matter of growing up but a matter of what you enjoy in an action movie. And yeah, I won't hide that I love blood, non-edulcorated violence. Not that it makes a film great, but it's always a plus in my book provided the story and characters are interesting. Die Hard 4? Not a bad action film, but a true disappointment compared to the original trilogy. The techno terrorism was boring like hell, the characters as well, even McClane was unlikable. And no, I wouldn't spend 10 bucks on a Die Hard 4 again. I'd rather stick to DVDrips than encourage studios to go this way.
Can't wait to see Rambo kill those sons a bitches! by ronniepooch	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:08:48 PM
can't fuckin wait!
Awesome. by TattooedBillionaire	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:12:00 PM
I must see this ASAP!
Has everyone lost their minds? by Sandinista	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:18:28 PM
How come I get a sense everyone loves Rocky Balboa? I know we all love the man, but comeone, it was pory scripted and you know it. When characters in a movie have to constantly EXPLAIN to you how they are feeling -- instead of just showing them in situations where you get a sense o said feelings --, chances are you will get a cliché ridden movie. And we did! Plus [spoiler alert] Rocky's "you are all winners" finale is everything BUT badass.
Its not that he does give a shit, its just tough love by Mysterious Yobo	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:42:11 PM
really really really REALLY tough love.

'doesnt' by Mysterious Yobo	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:42:58 PM

its like he's everybody in the worlds dad by Mysterious Yobo	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:45:22 PM
and hes got to ignore you alot even though he loves you so you dont grow up to be a needy helpless dweeb. and sometimes if you step too far out of line he has to literally kill you. but that doesnt mean that he doesnt still really really love you.
Rambo vs. the New England Patriots by CobraKai	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:45:34 PM
That old fuck would certainly spoil their perfect season.
Wish I could beat the shit out of Stallone's face by Proman1984	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:47:48 PM
You know, have a chance to punch him in the face and knock some sense into him. I feel embarrased for you Harry. There are, words in that review that make me feel sad for you.
I wasn't a fan of Rocky Balboa by TerryMalloy	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:47:56 PM
But I am really psyched for this. First Blood was the first movie I ever cried in. And the last. Because I'm a man's man.
Come back to the states Sly...here's how... by BetaRayBill07	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:48:25 PM
Rambo living in mountains and forest- middle of almost nowhere. Befriended by peaceful mostly leaves-him-alone single dad neighbor. Kids kidnapped for whatever reason by crazy fucked up militia which of course has crazy fucked up vietnam vet leader with a manifesto for destruction or whatever. You know the rest. Summary concluded- all I need is 1% of the gross box office ok Sly?
If it was worse than BATMAN & ROBIN... by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:50:03 PM
...would Harry give a just as bad review after Sly done the Q & A over the last week?
FUCK YEAH by Pipple	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:54:43 PM
can't wait for this
Sounds like torture porn by Chopper Sullivan	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:57:43 PM
How dare any of you get excited over seeing violence in an action movie? Has Michael Haneke taught you nothing?
Why is everyone so mean to Harry by topaz4206	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:58:24 PM
Sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't. But he's a genuinely sweet man who created this place we all call home. Over my several years I've just seen people get more and more disrespectful toward him, and it's sickening. Hopefully one day they'll implement an ignore feature for talkback users and we can self-police to thin the herd. Love ya, Red!
I've always thought Harry had gay tendencies by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 23rd, 2008 08:59:38 PM
That review has most definitely confirmed it. Harry and Sly, sitting in the tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.... Nice review though.
Getting blown into pieces by an exploding arrow is torture? by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:00:42 PM

Why can't I get excited?
So Contra is a torture porn videogame? by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:01:32 PM

Plant! by Budgie smuggler	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:03:44 PM

They should make a probotector/contra movie by Mysterious Yobo	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:05:19 PM
with Sly as one of the guys but instead of having two guys have Sly and one of those robots. it would be like a serious version of mac and cheese.
Yes, in the USA Sly/Arnold play the Contra characters. by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:07:43 PM
But for Europe release they CG robot armor all over them, tone down the violence, and its Probotector.
this better be fucking awesome by bibble 3000	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:08:07 PM
not like that piece of ass trash, disappointment that was Cloverfield. that said, i trust Mr. Stallone. But nearly every fucking time Harry reviews a movie this enthusiastically, it turns out to be shit.
Harry should have boxed Uwe Boll by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:10:00 PM
He would have won with Homer Simpson technique.
I didn't know Matthew Marsden is in RAMBO!!! by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:11:34 PM
He's from the same town as me and my cousin used to be friends with him at school. I can remember seeing him before with his ex who used to be in that shitty girl band Eternal.
something about geek behaviour thats so predictable by Mysterious Yobo	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:13:57 PM
therefore anything that comes out of harry's shitcake mouth is boring.
When you're paid off, gushing is as easy as eating by I Dunno	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:14:58 PM
I keed, I keed!
GibsonUSA... by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:16:47 PM
...The new Uwe Boll film looks quite good!! It's got a good cast, but even if it's half decent it will be slammed as the worst film of the year.
"Love to see Harry trash a film"...? by vanchimera	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:23:26 PM
Dude, this your first trip to aicn? Harry's trashed a lot of shit. I'm not defending his cocksuckery or anything, but he's done his fair share of bash. Anyhow, Rambo owns.
Just as long as your not eating what your gushing,or vice versa. by GibsonUSA	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:25:17 PM
That new Uwe Boll film looks alright. People bash Uwe but his movies are hardly the worst.
Harry, Is The Action On Par With 80's Woo? by georges garvaren	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:42:13 PM
No, not Poo; Woo, as in John. Woo's 80's films are so very messy(pretty) with the dead and dying. I am very hopeful that Rambo will beat my eyes in like Better Tomorrow did as a teenager. Fingers crossed.
Vanchimera... by Uncle Salty Walt	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:42:59 PM
As I stated above, I have been a fan of this site for several years, so obviously I know the drill - it's just that everytime I check out one of Harry's featured opinion pieces on a flick lately, it turns out to be another "Best. Movie. Ever." That said, it seems like we agree for the most part. And I am not a Harry-Hater - I enjoy this site alot. AICN is always my first stop for movie news and gossip. All I'm saying is that things are getting a bit Ebert-esque, whereas nearly every film that is reviewed gets "Two Thumbs Up". Props to Sly, though, for taking the time to respond to the fans.
I am looking forward to seeing this, but I doubt my wife... by anchorite	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:49:31 PM
will be able to handle it. If the scenes from the first trailer (the rated R one) are in the movie, it looks to be incredibly brutal and gory. Hell, I may be disturbed. I haven't seen a movie that looks to be that graphically violent in quite a while. Since I got married my viewing habits have been pretty much restricted to an MPAA rating of G, PG, PG-13 and the occasional R as long as it's a Rom-Com a la 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up. I can't remember the last time I saw a super-violent movie. And this one's violence looks a helluva lot more realistically graphic than the other Rambo movies. I hope there's more to it than a lot of blood and guts. And I hope that Harry isn't being his usual hyperbolic self in this case.
Ebert Knocks Lots Of Flicks by georges garvaren	Jan 23rd, 2008 09:50:19 PM
Same with Q-Bert. Don't ask for too much. After all, Harry did just watch Rambo with FUCKING RAMBO!
Proman1984 - Stallone would beat you senseless by igotbigballs	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:00:17 PM
I know another dude who keeps talking about how he would tear Stallone apart, Stallone is an old man, muscles or no he would tear him apart. Blah blah blah, I am willing to bet everything I own Sly would take him AND you at the same time.
Mrs. Harry needs to lighten the fuck up by classyfredblassy	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:07:27 PM
Hundreds (if not thousands)of Burmese monks are being massacred and tortured by their gov., will supplies handed to them from Red China. Bastards? You bet. Now back to street walking, fat biotch.
Best Rambo Review I've read so far: by Sledge Hammer	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:35:25 PM
Straight from the wonder that is the IMDB: Therefore yes, I was at the press projection, and I have only a thing to say, my friends: This Movie Will Rock the World... Stallone is sublime inside, the film is extraordinary, the personage magnificently is exploited, and the end is an absolute killings (and a complete butcher shop). I have almost envies to resume one to one the arguments of all the beep that descended the film without even to have seen it. Outside of a small blow of soft one for about twenty minutes in the middle, the film is as good as Rocky Balboa (already a masterpiece to my eyes). This is really the only defect: 20 Mn in the middle where the film advances little. But the first half an hour, this is masterpiece. And the final half an hour, this is total killings! Forget all that you saw, forget all that you imagined on the film: JOHN RAMBO IS BETTER THAN ALL THAT YOU SAW IN THE BANDS ANNOUNCE. And I finish on the end: leave me to say you that you will be surprised, and very moved (I had the eyes a not very humid ones, I did not cry as for Rocky Balboa, but I were very moved)." That's the full review posting, unedited, unchanged, and awesome in it's hilarious ineptitude. Clearly english isn't this guy's first language (I hope), but still I found it pretty damn funny all the same. Hey, it's been a slow fucking day...
HARRY IS A KISS ASS!!!! by y7jver01	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:39:42 PM
But maybe this time he kissed a good ass!!!
SLEDGE HAMMER - THAT'S HIGH-LARIOUS by BringingSexyBack	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:49:50 PM
I wonder if that was translated from Burmese to German to Japanese to English.
if this movie sucked by HEADGEEK	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:52:23 PM
I'd be the first to be screaming. Just like I did on DIE HARD 4. And Bruce did a Q&A. But that movie was not satisfying. RAMBO is fucking satisfying as hell. Made me want to flamethrow babies afterwards.
So, you liked it Harry? by Ninja Nerd	Jan 23rd, 2008 10:57:54 PM
O.K., Fat Man, I'll see your "Wild Bunch" and raise you a "Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia"! Actually, some of us old, ex-military ninja types from the old dojo are seeing Rambo this weekend...we love this shit! A little bit over the top on your review dude, but I hope to retract that after seeing the film.
Die Hard 4 on DVD by micturatingbenjamin	Jan 23rd, 2008 11:00:19 PM
wasn't bad...Um, I can't wait for another Rambo movie. Rambo is synonymous for KILL.

Man by Gungan Slayer	Jan 23rd, 2008 11:11:16 PM
Man, this is going to be AWESOME. And I'm going to have to disagree with "Die Hard 4" It didn't suck. It wasn't like Die Hard 1, but it still was a nice fun ride.
BringingSexyBack, I dunno...probably... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 23rd, 2008 11:12:12 PM
...but I do think that "JOHN RAMBO IS BETTER THAN ALL THAT YOU SAW IN THE BANDS ANNOUNCE." should be on the fucking posters for Rambo.

Half-Life 2. Where were the gibs? Insects don't count. Machine parts don't count. Disintegration isn't the same. Only steaming hot giblets really satisfy. Though I remember Rambo III as corny, you had me with scene with the heavy machine gun in the jeep.

eight notes by Staldo	Jan 23rd, 2008 11:41:00 PM
ever notice that all great movie scores can usually be distilled to seven or eight notes that define that score? Star Wars, Indy, etc. Well, the Rambo movies have eight notes too. You know the ones, the ones that happen when he steals the motorbike in First Blood. I think that's the test of great score. As to Chuck Norris fighting Rambo, in an urban environment, Chuck wins. In any type of non-developed environment, Chuck would find himself impaled on punji sticks, disemboweled or disintegrated.

I've never read a review where so many other movies are referenced. Wild Bunch this and Jason Bourne that. Should be able to talk about a movie on it's own without mentioning every other movie or movie character ever created. But at least you liked it. But how can you not recognize any of the actors playing the missionaries? Julie Benz a.k.a. Darla from Buffy\Angel fame and I guess now Dexter? She's smoking... Looking forward to Rambo tomorrow.

Harry's history on Stallone by HEADGEEK	Jan 24th, 2008 01:53:16 AM
Listen - you can think what you think - I do love the great and fun Stallone movies - but in AICN's history since 1996 - Stallone had just come off THE SPECIALIST, JUDGE DREDD and ASSASSINS - three crapfests. Then DAYLIGHT was ok, didn't care for THE GOOD LIFE, loved COP LAND - famously raged agains AN ALAN SMITHEE FILM: BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN - loved ANTZ, hated GET CARTER, DRIVEN, D-TOX, AVENGING ANGELO, SHADE. Enjoyed the goofy kids flick SPY KIDS 3D - then loved ROCKY BALBOA and RAMBO. I just feel Sly has finally hit his stride again - and as a fan, I'm glad - its been a long time coming.

if one thing i've learned from this site, it's that your reviews is not to be trusted. i dont doubt your integrity for a sec(always thought you say what you believe), it's just that after a lifetime of moviewatching i would expect your taste to grow alittle, but still... you gave glowing reviews again and again to mediocre pieces of trash. i can list the movies here, but why bother. moriarty may write better than you, but that only makes him condescending in defending his reviews sometimes. his taste is just as bad as yours.

i'm hoping it will be as great as harry says...if only because i want stallone to keep making more movies and thus more Q&A for me. :) i'm just saying harry is too easily impressed, and tend to go waaaay overboard in his excitement. reading his reviews, you think every other movie is the best ever made. you got gore, monsters, pirates, and you're likely to get harry's seal of approval.

cloudrider by HEADGEEK	Jan 24th, 2008 03:34:08 AM
I'd love to see how adventurous your taste in cinema is. And to claim superiority over anybody else's taste is simply an act of an ass. Everyone, everywhere has the stuff they love and stuff they hate. They have what they say in public they love, then they have what they really love - Me - I tell everyone that reads this site the truth - It's not a pretension, its not meant to impress. But I see just about everything. I don't write about it all - there's too much, too much to type and share. There's a simple fact to movie watching. We are all different human beings. Some of us go to films hoping to love movies. Some of us go to find the flaws. Some of us go to impress our friends with our superior opinions. Some go because, the act of sitting in a movie theater is their artistic place of worship. Cloudrider... I don't know you. But you seem to be a bit hostile. I have no doubt that you believe absolutely in your opinion as being the end of discussion - but dude... there's a myriad of thought on stories and films. There are people that hate everything that ever gets distribution and love only the PURE world of cinematic experimentation. And those films that they love would drive a normal mainstream viewer out of their seat faster than an electric shock. I'm passionate about film. It isn't a hobby or a passing interest. Film is my occupation, my passion and my primary love. I've seen more films than I could ever communicate. My screen is non-stop. Imagine - 11 years - 7 days a week. 12-18 hrs a day. Film. It's not a grind. It's not me going - "Aw fuck, another day." Its "Fucking A, another day!" I hope you have a similar life

Those Good Ol'Missionary Folk.... by DarfurOnTheRocks	Jan 24th, 2008 07:48:03 AM
Although I am sure these folks are kind and gentle, we got some stories to tell in Canada about the Jesuits... I am definitely gonna watch this movie though.
Sly on Howard Stern right now by Cysquatch	Jan 24th, 2008 07:57:27 AM
via phone. JJ Abrams was on a little while ago.

Did JJ Abrams explain himself, and say when we're gonna see the other half of the footage from Cloverfield?
I wonder if we are getting a new Rambo videogame? by DarfurOnTheRocks	Jan 24th, 2008 08:22:36 AM

I finally understand Harry by BobParr	Jan 24th, 2008 08:29:11 AM
He's a 12-year-old boy trapped in man's body. This explains his movie reviews, writing style, etc. I never understood how a guy my age can write this way. I just remembered that when i was 12 my friends and I all spoke the same way. Everything "kicked ass" and "kicked you in the balls".
Bourne and Rambo wouldn't fight each other... by BrandonGK	Jan 24th, 2008 08:32:38 AM
...they would would realize how they've both have been screwed by the government and team up.
Abominable Snowcone by Cysquatch	Jan 24th, 2008 08:33:01 AM
It was pretty short call actually. They didnt really talk too much about Cloverfield because a few people on the show havent seen it yet. They did ask JJ if there would be a sequel and JJ said the studio has already asked him about it. They spent a lot more time on Star Trek and Lost. They talked about Shatner being pissed that he is not in Star Trek, JJ going from picketing to directing in the same day, etc. JJ also stated he really doesnt have much to do with Lost anymore. JJ is huge Stern fan and corresponds with Howard via e-mail all the time so they plan on having him back on to promote Star Trek.
Cysquatch by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 24th, 2008 08:45:25 AM
I was just jokin' really. I saw Cloverfield last week, and while it wasn't the second coming of Christ movie they hyped it to be, it was a good, tight monster flick like I used to watch as a kid on late night Friday TV. Because of the way it's shot though (using only Hud's footage) you wonder what the movie would have been had it been told (and shown) in an omniscient way.

Rambo for the NES by Samuel Fulmer	Jan 24th, 2008 09:04:22 AM
Did anybody play that game? It had one of the worst password systems of all time, and Rambo fought bubbles and giant spiders. The best part was the beginning where Col. Trautman asked if you wanted to leave jail, and you could say no. Of course he just kept asking over and over if you'd take the mission. The Sega Rambo game and Rambo III games were great, especially Rambo III on Genesis. Kudos to Stallone for trying to expose the world to what's going on in Burma. He may be doing it in the guise of an action film, but I think it'll get through to more people than a straight out drama would.
Harry, I'm not saying Chuck or Sly is better... by Philvis	Jan 24th, 2008 09:11:32 AM
than one or the other because I don't want them knocking at my door looking to whoop some ass. I really am looking forward to this movie after reading some real reviews from the readers that seem to mirror your opinion. I do want you to consider Chuck Norris' most kick ass movie as being pretty epic...You can't go wrong with Lone Wolf McQuade. That movie is on my top 10 kick ass flicks of all time.
Sly looks like the Michelin Man by Faust_8	Jan 24th, 2008 09:15:08 AM
I'm sorry to say, but when I first saw the trailer, Sly looked so steroid/ growth hormone bloated I was like you have to be kidding me.
First Blood was Great by BilboRing	Jan 24th, 2008 09:15:29 AM
Rambo Part II was not so great. Rambo III was...I really don't remember it. Saw it once on VHS when it was first released. This movie looks like a rental. I loved Rocky Balboa and I am sure this kicks ass but it's a rental for me.
So what's with this Love Fest Harry by Geekster	Jan 24th, 2008 09:21:38 AM
First off, interesting review, but it doesn't sound like you. Meaning it sounded kinda like your girl friend auditioned for American Idol and she was not so good but you told her what a great job she did cuz she has a terrific rack. Honestly Harry, I know you and Sly have been kinda open on communication lately but is this for real? Don't get me wrong, I love the Rambo franchise and I will see it whether you raved about it or not, but dayum Harry, tell me you two didn't have a candle light dinner afterwards?

A Subtle Review of the Film by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 24th, 2008 09:31:16 AM
It was friggin' AWESOME!! Sly's arms are like that tree trunk in KING KONG, with veinous vines running up and down! And he KILLS three dozen people with just his KNIFE! And he punches a charging bull elephant in the FACE and KILLS IT! Then he HURLS a CAR through a building and DECIMATES a CHURCH BUS full of MIMES with a .50 caliber MACHINE GUN! It's fricken' chocolate coated AWESOME!!

HEADGEEK by cloudrider`	Jan 24th, 2008 10:10:14 AM
harry... you really dont need to defend yourself. why reply to mere me?:) anybody can clearly see that you're very passionate about films(me too - learned filmmaking & directed a few lousy shorts to prove it). no doubt you have watched more movies than anybody ever could in their in their lifespan. and while some TBers here accuse you of being an asskisser at times, i thought you always speak your heart out. every single time. my beef is that some of the worst genre films got your love in this site, and thus personally i find your reviews highly unreliable. and yes, there's such a thing as superiority in taste. just ask mory - he thinks his taste towers over everyone else(at least, i got that impression of him sometimes). there are good taste and there are bad taste, otherwise there are no good and bad movies and awards are useless. while my taste is not quite there yet, i'm at the point now where i can safely say i can recognize lousy films when i watch them. and i try to watch all kind of movies from all over the world(ones i could find in my ass end of the world anyway), some i found out only through this site, due to your passion. and yes, i can be an ass. :)

RAMBO will get my quids... when it is finally... annoyingly screened over here... I don't expect the next Citizen Kane... just an exciting... adrenaline fueled... 90minute orgy of action... and adventure. Sounds like you enjoyed it... Harry.
For Fuck's Sake by The_Hanged_Man	Jan 24th, 2008 10:19:44 AM
You read this site and expect Harry NOT to get excited when he likes a film? Of course his review's over the top, it's a frickin RAMBO movie, based on a character who is, by design, OVER THE TOP. Seeing an action idol like Sly's Rambo come to life again, and in a well-done fashion would get any action geek excited, let alone an all-around film-monster like Harry. Shit, go read some Entertainment Weekly high-brow poo-poo violence-makes-our-kids-misbeh ave review and get the FUCK off this site if you think for a minute you have a right to tell Harry he got too excited about a movie. Seriously, if you read this site with any regularity you'd know that Harry usually reviews movies that in some way interest him. Generally that leads to positive reviews. Sure, I like to hear Harry rip Hollywood-bloated films new assholes on occasion too. But I read his reviews cuz he's a geek like me, gets excited about film like me. No, he ain't always "right" but it's a fucking subjective review, people have different opinions. But instead of realizing this, all these dumb fucks come onto talkbacks and say "OMG Plant, he is maeking teh monies!!" whenever he likes a movie.
WOW HERE WE FUCKIN GO AGAIN.. by JBouganim1	Jan 24th, 2008 10:29:42 AM

I was at the AICN screening by infallible	Jan 24th, 2008 10:36:20 AM
I was lucky enough to be one of the people at the screening, in the same theater as Harry. I can say that I completely agree with this review. The movie kicked ass, and was a wonderful experience. The Bourne films are great, but Harry's right: Rambo would kick Bourne's ass.
sure, i'm excited too. by cloudrider`	Jan 24th, 2008 10:40:31 AM
and i'll be excited for the rest of the year. 2008 is the best year for moviegeeks in a long while. just see the lineup for the entire year. it's still january and already we have cloverfield and rambo. but you shouldn't let excitement cloud your judgement. just because it's rambo, doesn't mean it'd be suckage-proof. i'm rooting for stallone, i want rambo to be good. just saying i cant believe that just based on harry's review, becuase harry's overexcited about everything almost.
Harry has NEVER had a better grasp of a movie before by ArcadianDS	Jan 24th, 2008 10:50:43 AM
"When the missionaries show up, he just doesn't really want to have anything to do with them. They're the sort of people that he doesn't really know how to relate with. They care. Their hearts are filled with love for their fellow humanity. They believe in making a difference, in the basic good in the soul of mankind. Basically, they believe in everything that Rambo, through his life, has learned was a crock of shit." You nailed the entire focal point of the movie in that paragraph, Harry - never before have I seen you be so rock solid on target. Action movies are given this bad rap of being all about loosely stringing a bunch of explosions together, culminating with the complete conflagration of an entire wharf or industrial complex, or something like that. This movie is actually a drama dressed up in explosions and blood. Its a character piece about a man who is forced to re-evaluate everything he has learned in life - and to consider for a moment that maybe all his conclusions are wrong. Thats what will make this movie resonate, and that is why Sly needs to keep making movies. So many action movies are made in what "Old Time Hollywood" used to refer to as "The Sausage Factory" where movies were scooped up from a beefy mash, crammed into skins, and belched out of a giant machine, each sausage link identical to the one that squirted out before it. While Guys like Norris and Van Damme continue(d) to hand us movies stuffed into sausage skins, Sly is handing us a thick peppercorned porterhouse and telling us to dig right in with our bare hands. Keep the steaks comin, Sly.
You can build muscle without roids by TheLastCleric	Jan 24th, 2008 11:00:28 AM
It's pathetic how anybody with arms over 18 inches get labeled a roid/growth hormone user when in reality building bulk isn't that hard to do, especially for experienced bodybuilders like Sly. I really don't see him popping roids at his age and given his history and muscle memory what he has accomplished physically seems completely reasonable. He purposely bulked up for this role and focused on his shoulders, back, and other regions that give him the look of an ox. He looked better in Rocky Balboa than most men a third his age so give credit where it's due.
Jesus, Harry. by Biggie Kaiju	Jan 24th, 2008 11:03:37 AM
I respect the amount of passion you have for movies; I live for them, too. But "11 years, 7 days a week, 12-18 hours a day?" I really have to hope that's an exaggeration. Have you ever considered the concept of "moving" or maybe something really radical like "stepping outside?" Perhaps you would even make that leap we all know you're capable of and "get some fresh air." Sorry to bust your balls, but anyone who spends EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF LIFE in front of a screen... Ahh, I should just give up. Just don't want to see your obit next. "Rambo" sounds awesome, but we really need a review where you reverse that absurd gushing love and unleash the demons on some crapfest like "Dungeon Siege." I want to read you tearing a film's asshole out with the same gusto you devote to the explosive orgasms every film seems to give you these days.
I'll take Harry's enthusiasm by TheLastCleric	Jan 24th, 2008 11:08:43 AM
over the cynical, joyless crap that constitutes most movie reviews this day and age. Compound that with the fact that the internet really has made every person on the planet a vocal critic and it's easy to understand why people enjoy reading Harry's reviews. He may over praise but then again, why do people care? Every film, no matter how universally loved, has its detractors and in the end the only thing that matters is how you feel about what you've watched. This is Harry's site, it's his opinion, and if you guys really want to be that dismissive of the man, why come here at all? He really does take a large amount of bile from some of you and he's pretty mellow in his responses. Lighten up people.
Well, I know Chuck Norris and... by Ninja Nerd	Jan 24th, 2008 11:23:21 AM
...he may never kick Stallone's ass at the box office, but in a real fight, he wouldn't even get a chance to say "Yo". Seagal, Van Damme...posers. Neither has competed in any recognized or known fights with any real martial artist. I do know that Seagal got choked out twice by a stunt wrangler friend of ours during filming. He was failing to pull his punches and had injured a couple of stunt people. The coordinator asked him to ease up and Seagal went ballastic and made the mistake of putting his finger in the guy's chest. He got locked up in lion killer choke and went to sleep. When he came to a few minutes later, he foolishly thought to jump in again and took another nap. They had no other issues after that. Jet Li is the real deal, but doesn't have a fight pedigree either. So, the point here is that Chuck STILL does most of his stunts and all of his martial arts and can back it up in real life. Sly and the rest are ONLY actors with good choreography. If I'm heading to the biker bar and have a need to fight my way out (which I have on occasion!), I'll take Chuck over all of the wannabes. Chuck did have a friend of ours, Chip McGinnis, do work on Walker the last 2 seasons or so as he had some injuries and nagging stuff affecting the stunt work. Chip resembles Chuck at a distance and is a Black Belt with a dojo in Oregon. He flew in, shot some scenes, and flew out several times back then. Chuck is back in good health (so far as I know...haven't talked to him in person since Sidekicks was filming in Houston, and that was eons ago. He's in town every now and then and visits some of his old students or at least calls and says hello. Great guy and absolutely still has the mojo. I know I still won't fight him, even for shits and giggles. I was trained in his system by one of his top students from the old "blood and guts" days of the 70's when Chuck was Middleweight Champion. I have fought a slew of those guys and we're pretty similar in that, when we hit something, it stays hit. I'm retired now, so I definitely don't want to take a sidekick from Chuck. I like having all my ribs intact and lungs not full of blood! So, lay off the Chuck bashing. He may not be the thespian Sly is, but he can still kick Rambo's ass in a skinny minute.

Harry Speaks Truth: RAMBO Rocks by christian66	Jan 24th, 2008 12:20:55 PM
I know Harry can be over-enthused about poor films, but he's dead-on rights about RAMBO. I saw a rough cut and it was beyond the two sequels. The direction is Stallone's best and most subtle, yes, the script is weak, but when Rambo goes into action...you will believe that evil Burmese soldiers can explode in clouds of gore. Stallone is also very good and the ending is perfect. I'd like to know how the audience at the Alamo reacted...it seems like it should draw a vocal crowd.
a few things by MacTard420	Jan 24th, 2008 12:58:03 PM
i don't think anyone is more passionate about movies than harry. i believe his reviews because i think he is geniunely excited about all these movies. that being said, i am definitely stoked for RAMBO. I just know i can never get that stoked for it. Also, I agree with the people who think Bourne and Rambo would just team up. They both want the same thing, to be left alone. That would be like Hogan and Savage teaming up to form the Mega Powers!

Harry's overzealous reviews... by LastDragon	Jan 24th, 2008 01:02:52 PM
...are the reason come here. And the fact that he seems to love every movie is the draw for me. Personally, I never just read one review. I've narrowed it down to a small group. I include Harry because whatever else he may be, the man loves movies like a fan, and I want that take on a movie when I'm comsidering it.
Darfur....yes, that was Labelle. by Ninja Nerd	Jan 24th, 2008 01:39:49 PM
It was Under Siege and Gene put his ass to sleep twice in about 10 minutes. Chuck had the Muchados teach HIM Gracie BJJ, which he used on Walker. They had a training/workout area in DFW on premise when WTR was in production. I used to jam with the guy that wrote the theme for the show. He was one of "our" class of old school asskickers and he wrote the song for Chuck and just gave it to him. When they went to record it, it turns out the only thing Chuck CAN'T do is sing worth a damn, so Tirk Wilder (the composer) actually doubles the vocal so it sounds like Chuck is (sorta) singing the song. After the 1st Season, Tirk got the nod in the credits.
