And then cut off their head probably.

24 in 2009? LAME!

Jack Bauer and Rambo vs. Cloverfield 2 (awesome sequel) ha!

That aside, I'm probably going to watch this movie, but still, the idiocy that results from this movie by morons who get boners by watching a muscle bound white dude slaugher Asians is irritating.

The Game Plan made a bunch of money at the Box Office and is selling lots of DVD's right now. Does that mean it is awesome?

I thought I'd tell you so you could change your review to "this movie sucks and Bush is a tool" like all your other reviews. I just dont want you to miss out on a really great soap box opportunity here.

I haven't yet seen the film, but I'm all set for the 9:25 showing here in NY. I'm looking forward to it because I am a child of the 80's. I grew up watching Arnold and Sly. I own most of their hits on DVD. And Rambo was such a fucking iconic character when I was growing up. How could I NOT go see the movie? I even watched the shitty cartoon when I was a kid.

People need to get a grip. When action movies now are either watered down or all follow the "Jason Bourne" template, there is truly a lack of gritty, realistic, old school heroes who save the mutherfucking day by laying waste to the bad guys. And I am glad Stallone is back to do just that. Does this mean that I want to get a gun and go on a rampage now because of the ultraviolence in Rambo? No.

Violence in movies is nothing new, yet all of a sudden people are getting sand in their vaginas and are getting too sensitive and PC. Do people not remember the dark, fucked up, violent movies that came out in the late 70's? This shit aint new.

I hope Stallone delivers, and I would rather listen to REAL reviews rather than the reviews of self important assholes who have this inflated sense of superiority because they are paid for their useless opinions. The critics will hate on Rambo now, yet give other bullshit movies glowing reviews.

I REALLY wanted to see this film before; now I am willing to sell my wife to watch it.

In fact - fuck it - she's free to the first person who can get me into this film NOW! Face ain't up to much, but the tits are great and she takes it up the arse!

Wait, that wasn't such a bad film was it?

Let me ask you this. If instead if the Viet Nam war, the situation was about WWII and he was writing about what a veteran of that war was thinking and he used the words "kraut" and "jap". Would you be offended and by which word and why?

First Blood was a character driven drama like the first Rocky, not really a balls to the wall action movies although the levels of violence and indeed action in the sequels makes people lump them all together but i love the way the latest Rocky Balboa was a propper throw back in mood and style to the first Rocky and works as a fitting bookend to that series and I hope Rambo is the same kind of deal!

I actually got into a small argument with one of the girls that came in our group, who said she was offended by some of the 'obviously embellished violence' in the depiction of Burma . . . I not-so-kindly asked her to read a newspaper. Like Masa said, if you're not a fan of this kinda stuff, this probably won't sway your heart.

Burma aside, you'll have an amazing time, I promise!!

gut some

heheh

RAMBO

With "Rocky Balboa," Stallone proved he could bring back at least one of his iconic characters with some dignity - and, end it with class. The problem, however, was that 'Rocky' was always a series with class; who didn't love the character of 'Rocky Balboa' and root with him as he fought wars in the ring? Although dissatisfied with "Rocky V," most movie goers still had a soft spot for 'Rocky' and winning them back was easy - with, of course, a great story, great direction and an elegant final entry to the series.

However, Rambo isn't so easy.

Based on the book, "First Blood," the story of 'John Rambo,' has always touched a nerve with the general public due to its political overtones and its references to cultural blemishes, such as American citizens spitting on veterans returning from a war-torn country who witnessed unimaginable bloodshed and carnage..

The first film in the series, titled, "First Blood" (and, not just 'Rambo,' for those who haven't followed the series) was at least well received due to its use of dramatic monologues and, more importantly, because it framed American culture in such a way that audiences could relate to. The second film, "Rambo: First Blood part II," although a good idea conceptually, began to turn 'Rambo' into somewhat of a cartoon; an inhuman fighting machine invulnerable to any enemy. But, in 1985, when 'part II' was released, audiences still craved bombastic, Reagan-era action films and the film was highly successful..

t wasn't until the confusingly titled "Rambo III" that 'Rambo' had turned into a full-fledged joke, fodder for late night TV and stand up comedians. Although moderately successful, the tone of "Rambo III" essentially destroyed the credibility of the character and nearly erase the cultural importance of the novel and first film in the series. Instead of acting as the voice of a generation, 'Rambo' had become a cartoon character who could take on entire armies - complete with helicopters, tanks, rocket launchers, machine guns, etc. - all by himself. It was only logical that, by this point, and with the 1990's approaching - and, a brewing hatred of all that was the 1980's - 'Rambo' would be a forgotten relic of a time long passed, a fleeting joke for someone to exaggerate superhuman abilities ("Who do you think you are, Rambo?")..

But, twenty years later, here we are, with a brand new 'Rambo' film in theaters. How could this have happened and, more importantly - HOW is it RELEVANT? Firstly, we must remember that, before the rise of the internet, the world was a very isolated place. The general public's only connection was TV (and, to a certain extent, radio). Television told us what to eat, where to shop, who to listen to on the radio, which films to go see, which cars to drive, etc. But, with the rise of the internet - that began to change..

No longer did we have to agree that a character like 'Rambo' was outdated just because Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien said so in a monologue. Instead, we could simply go to an online forum and discuss our favorite scene from "First Blood" or write essays dissecting the character's journey throughout the films. Instead of 'audiences' continuing to become brainwashed, they became FANS once again and found each other on the internet..

Not only has this happened with 'Rambo,' but with every series from the past; Transformers, Indiana Jones, Rocky, the upcoming G.I. Joe film and many others. The internet has unintentionally recreated fan bases and, with the help of current political and cultural events (September 11th, the Iraq War, the Burmese genocide, etc.), a renewed interest in franchises such as 'Rambo' has been born..

Now, only one question remains: HOW is 'Rambo' relevant NOW? This is not a difficult question. If we observe all of the horrible events that are happening in the world, then it is logical to believe that 'Rambo' represents what much of the world is longing for: a hero to save the world of these horrible deeds, to take revenge on all that has been done in the name of evil..

n the 1980's, Rambo's 'relevance' had been confined to being a poster boy for fighting those 'commie bastards' and for exacting revenge on the Vietnamese. After all, it was the Reagan era and what better place to toot America's horn than in an action film with an inhuman fighting machine capable of taking on entire armies singlehandedly? The 'relevance' of the character during this period was purely superficial and hollow; it was meant only to entertain, so teenage boys could watch Rambo blow things up with his exploding arrow..

Now, however, in our current world, much has happened since then. We are in the middle of a global fight against terrorism. There are two major wars happening in Afghanistan and Iraq and the rest of the Middle East is about ready to explode into World War III. At home, in America, the public is coping with a bitter fight for the Presidency and the exit of a very unpopular President who many (although not the author of this review) feel is responsible for some of the events in other parts of the world. Compared to the 1980's, our current world is much closer to that of the Vietnam era than ever. And, this is is exactly HOW and WHY "Rambo" is relevant..

Although distantly similar in tone to "First Blood part II" and "Rambo III," the fourth film in the series resembles "First Blood" more in tone than either of the sequels - and, this is a strength of the film..

Gone are the bulging muscles and inhuman abilities of 'Rambo.' In fact, this time, Rambo needs help in the form of mercenaries who join him and support his efforts to free Christian missionaries from the grasp of brutal, violent Burmese soldiers. This time, Rambo doesn't appear as a Greek God-turned-soldier, but rather as a grizzly, bitter Vietnam veteran who would rather live in a Thailand jungle than his own country. 'Rambo' is portrayed as the old Veteran who lives down the street that doesn't like to talk to anyone; the guy who, when you see him at the local diner, sits by himself and you KNOW to leave him alone or he might just go crazy and rip your face of..

That is the 'Rambo' of this film. And, that is the 'Rambo' of "First Blood" that was a product of a long, bloody war which produced massive hatred for the U.S. government and, consequently, for returning veterans. The 'Rambo' of this latest entry is a realistic, authentic veteran who you can believe has arrived at the present state and location he is in In "Rambo" (the new film), 'Rambo' is not treated as a superhuman killing machine. Stallone does not try to convince the audience that he is thirty years old and in the same shape as the previous films. In fact, he does his best to show us otherwise. Instead of Rambo leading the mercenaries into the jungle, a younger mercenary does so. In fact, there is a scene in which this mercenary tells Rambo to "stay with the boat." Rambo is not treated as a stereo typical action hero in this film, but rather as a character who no one would believe had such a heroic past. Stallone managed to treat the character of 'Rambo' with amazing dignity and respect, as if he is now a wise and mature veteran, although that has yet to come full circle..

Due to this review already being so long, I feel as if I have written enough that my point has been made. The film, in my humble opinion, is brilliant and, by the end, 'Rambo' has finally come full circle. If you have not seen a 'Rambo' film or just remember the cartoonish sequels, then put those films out of your mind because this film does NOT resemble those films in any way. You will be pleasantly surprised. But, just a side note: the film is extremely violent. It is, after all, about the Burmese genocide. If the film weren't as violent as it is, it would be offensive to the people who have died at the hands of these violent, ruthless people. The violence in the film, although graphic and intense, is very realistic and gritty.

if the critics are in agreement with you, then they must have seen the light that one time; if they hate something you love, they are morons with lousy taste, because there's NOO WAY that you geeks can be wrong. riiight.

there's this monster from another world, right. it's hungry, and after some research found human to be tastiest bloodbags in the galaxy. in the first minute it crashlands, by minute two it starts grabbing people ripping their limbs left and right and devouring them.

it has 5 sets of cybernetic arms(it has 12 pairs total apparently) that can shoot laser thingie that turn human into blood glazier. and just so happen, it's a habit for such a creature that when eating, it needs to shoot its lasers. the creature think it's fun, you see.

so while it's eating and tearing the limbs of anyone cross its path with its non-cybernetic arms(which is 9 pairs alone), it also shoots lasers(it has 7 pairs of lasery arms) everywhere and exploding human, dogs, babies, grannies, emo spidey, hack directors, jihadists, soon to be ex-president - just anything everywhere.

the creature is so happy and having so much fun, it starts feeling guilty that it's only doing this by its lonesome. half hour into the film, it calls home. and then its whole family and neighbours and the neighbours' cousins drop by on our planet, you see. they land all over the globe, discriminating no one, devouring and exploding everyone.

by the end of the movie, the whole planet is empty. the entire gang of 22-pairs-of-arms creatures then abandon earth, but not before they fart on the planet, all simultenously, causing drastic global climate shift, making al gore's existence moot and treehuggers rolling in their graves.

in the final closing shot, we zoom in on the blue planet. not a sound to be heard. no birds chirping, no pop songs, no celebs gossips and political debates. all is quiet. and all is right in the world for the first time.

it's bloodiest most goriest film ever! you geeks will love it.

It is a simple concept, fellas -IF YOU LIKE UNAPOLOGETIC ACTION FLICKS, IF YOU SEE EVIL FUCKS ON THE NEWS DOING UNSPEAKABLE ACTS OF EVIL, AND YOU WISH THERE WAS A MOVIE THAT WOULD GIVE YOU THE RELEASE OF SEEING THOSE EVIL FUCKS DIE LIKE THE EVIL FUCKS THEY ARE- THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU!

if you are going to cry about "war porn", bloodlust and splatterfest violence- DON'T FUCKING SEE THIS FILM

as for desensitising people to violence, what the fuck do you think the nightly news does every fucking night?

how about these chick flicks that desensitise women from what realistic expectations should be for a man and relationships? at least with films like RAMBO, the action is so over the top, no guy in there right mind expects to be RAMBO.

but with chick flicks, women really think that these are realistic expectations of what life has to offer in the arena of love and relationships!

all i know is i had fun for 90 minutes, and when I left the theater, no fights broke out, no shots were fired, no one ripped out someone elses throat- i got a carmel latte and went home!

Features an special introduction by Donald Rumsfeld.

did i mention it was served in a hollowed out evil fuck skull? no... well it was!

i held it with my ball arms and drank it molten hot through the tip of my penis, leaving my actual arms free to fire my composition bow at guys in line for "27 dresses" and "the bucket list"!

did i mention i was doing thrust squats with a refrigerator on my back all the while! fuckin-a, you bet i was!

I kid irrelevntelefant...I kid.

as for KidIdiot... um really, the dialogue and acting in a Rambo flick was subpar?

that's like complaining about the story line in a porno...

LIVE FOR NOTHING OR DIE FOR SOMETHING!*
