 Rambo December 30, 2008
Just like the other Rambo's movies. Can't take your eyes off of it. Very good.
Exploding red Pumpkins at 24 fps December 29, 2008
During a time when John Woo has not released a good action flick in over a decade there is nothing strange about John Rambo making a return to form late 80s 90 minute "fill-everything-that-moves-full-of-hot-lead" ultra-violent action genre that we haven't seen in a long time.
Here John Rambo turns up in the far east passing his time catching snakes for the local snake teasing shows (yes, this is for real) when a group of young American Christian missionaries ask him desperately to take them into war-torn Burma so that they can deliver aid to some local villagers. After a debate and warning them against it (especially without guns) Rambo takes them up the river into deep Burma territory and drops them off. The missionaries eventually fall victim to a very bloody genocide campaign that is one the film's most brutal sequences as even kids aren't spared from the sadistic attack. Rambo soon discovers that the missionaries have gone missing from their pastor who has arrived from America with some mercenaries to go look for them. Rambo is invited along because he was the last one to know where they went and feels a duty to get them back. The remainder of the film is a very bloody and traumatic search and rescue mission and lots of action from start to finish.
If the question is "is this a good film?" The answer is "absolutely not", well not in any traditional sense that we know understand the word good, but then again do we watch Rambo as an Oscar contender? Exactly, of course we don't, so we change the question to "Is it a good action film?" Yes! Rambo delivers and even tries to throw in some brainwork in the mix, especially its overall political message, an interesting basic idea about trying to make a difference and appeals to the real world scenario of developing nations and the problem of genocide and child soldiers. Overall Rambo IV is squeezed in at the right place and the right time. It might not be the best Rambo and maybe Stallone leaves a little too much of the action to the mercs and not enough for himself, but it is a Rambo movie and that is what you came to see.
Clasic Rambo December 28, 2008
If you liked the first Rambo you will love this one. I must warn you before you watch it there is a lot of graphic violence. The most of any movie I have seen. You see in the movie what it actually looks like to be torn apart when hit by whatever weapon is being uses. With this caveat I give the following review.
This movie has great plot, great acting and a lot of Drama. All actors give a superb performance. Stallone himself said that this movie was directed in such a way that it was Rambo himself directing the movie. That is a paraphrase by the way. If so I hope Rambo directs more movies. He brings the best out of all his staff. I was afraid that this movie would not be classic Rambo because of all the bad press it got. As usually the press got it wrong. I should of known every time the critics give a movie like this a bad ratting, I love it. I truly hope this is not the last Rambo movie.
Buy this movie it's one you want in your collection.
 You will need a nappy for this one... December 22, 2008

..because you might wet yourself laughing.
You know in "erotic" films (I hear tell) when there is a semblance of plot before you get to the "action"? You know....
Well the "visiting plumber" is of course Sly Stallone who tries some tear jerking "I don't do violence anymore" rubbish before indulging in the most ridiculously violent gore fest I have ever seen. I swear it is the living personification of Itchy and Scratchy but without the tightly woven plot and good acting. If your idea of a good time is colouring in pictures of guns with wax crayons because they wont let you have anything sharper, and you aint interested in books that have words in them, ("Well, lookey here, we got us a reader") you will love this!
Oh, and the sniper used to be in "Coronation Street", the well-known British soap.
"EEh love, Jack Duckworths pigeons need cleaning out again, can you give us a hand?"
"Nah love, I'm going up the jungle with Sly Stallone to do some shooting."
I bet he never saw that coming!
Repulsive, excessive gore, not very fun December 15, 2008

Let me start by saying that I love action films, and in a film like Saving Private Ryan, I can understand the attention to detail when someone is blown apart, it describes the horrors of war lest we forget what the veterans of both sides went through. The original Rambo I and II, and Scharzeneggers "commando" have violence in them, but the producers don't delight in showing someones guts get knifed out in the name of entertainment.
However, this Rambo comes across as nothing more than killing for an evenings entertainment. There is no need for such gratuitous violence, it doesn't add to the story line.
There are scenes when children are slaughtered, women are gang raped and a mans legs are eaten off by a pig. And that's on top of betting on which prisoner dies first when running across a paddy field with land mines in it. This movie was rated R for a very good reason. This movie really shouldn't be shown to children, it will upset them.
The (well acted) personal turmoil John Rambo goes through is the sole redeeming feature of this film. I believe that I would enjoy a version rated for network TV version but the DVD is just gross. That is why I rated it 2 stars and not one.
