Sylvester Stallone is experiencing a nostalgic renaissance. Trudging through his back catalog of characters we find John Rambo living the life of a river boat captain just outside of Burma. He spends his days catching King Cobras and his nights haunted by the past. His static malaise is broken by a group of missionaries led by an idealistic woman. The group wishes to go into Burma but the country is kind of a war zone. Rambo is not too keen on the idea but he just can't say no to this pretty little lady. Unfortunately and predictably the missionaries get into trouble with a Burmese warlord. Now the only thing between Rambo and the missionaries is a Burmese warlord (man it must suck to be a Burmese warlord.)
I liked the movie. It was very violent but most of it seemed computer generated and therefore blunted most of the visceral impact. I recognized the blood splatter to be similar to what was seen in 300 and Sin City.
The movie is simple and does not demand much of the old intellect and just like Rocky Balboa we leave the character in a better place.
Its the feel good hit of the winter...

For a film with almost no plot, dialogue or character development of any kind, it wasn't bad. Think Shoot'Em Up but with more violence blood and complete hopelessness. Not a real feelgood movie by any means, but for a 62 year old man, Stallone can...

For a film with almost no plot, dialogue or character development of any kind, it wasn't bad. Think Shoot'Em Up but with more violence blood and complete hopelessness. Not a real feelgood movie by any means, but for a 62 year old man, Stallone can still play the action hero.

I'm surprised that I liked it to be honest. I think the reason I do is because it's not over the top and that the movie doesn't revolve solely around Rambo doing a bunch of crazy stunts. It's closer to the original Rambo than the rest of the sequels. Stallone plays a subdued and anti-hero which is good because it allows the story to be the center rather than his heroics. It's not overly long and doesn't allow you to get bored either. The only warning - it's very very violent. There's some really graphic stuff in here - like heads blown off and other heavy handed images, so if you're not into that kind of thing, beware.

This one is Rambo with ALOT of gore, but still Rambo. The one thing I didn't get is Sylvester Stalone only had very few lines in the movie, seems like he said 20 words.

Rambo
One of the most gory movies to date. Unfortunately its only gore. The film displays some of the most horrific massacres and rapes, but there is nothing tying it together. From just about the first scene we are inundated with these heartless slayings, but never really get shown the emotional impact of what is happening. Its because of this that after awhile we become desensitized to the acts and the gore just becomes over the top body part exploding hollywood cheese. If gruesome fighting is what you are after, than this is definitely the film for you; just don't expect a heartfelt story... but then again if you are watching a Rambo film why would you be expecting that.
