FistOfThe North
Yea, saw it earlier after work.
It's got to be the most intense of all the films.
It's graphic and gory as hell, lol. Like it makes the other Rambo movies look like a soap opera. The kills in it are ridiculous. It's more violent than any SAW movie.
I love the movie poster. Good story too. Good job Stallone. It's the best action movie i've seen in years.
BackFire
I just saw this earlier as well and thought it was really really fun.
I was blown away by the gore; holy shit. Some scenes were downright brutal. Even a couple of kids are murdered. It was a wild and fun ride.
Dusty
Wow, maybe I should see this today.
Rogue Jedi
apparently Sly still has it.
General G
This movie...was totally badass.
Mairuzu
Saw it on friday, was so badass... loved every second of it..
only thing bad was maybe some of the acting was a bit meh
and it was a little short
but the action and everything covers that tall up
i recorded about 2 min of it to show my friends how badass it was so they can see it.. illegal i know but its only 2 min

Captain REX
Do the previous Rambo movies need to be seen before I can appreciate the new film?
BackFire
No
I've only seen the first one, and I barely remember it, and I enjoyed the new one.
tabby999
I'm really looking forward to this, but its not out for a while yet in Aus. There has been a couple movies where children get taken out brutally lately, AvP had a couple of kids go down too (not to mention pregnant women), and if Backfires given it the gore thumbs up, I'm there.
Darth Vicious
Damn this movie was the shit!! It was bloody and gory as f**k. 300 was a kids movie compared to this one. I liked the flashback scene(dream sequence) using the previous movies. It was so intense that a few women walked out of the theater. The only thing I was bother( only a bit) was that he stayed in that damn torrent/machine gun(jeep) and didnt get off for a while. I wanted more hands more hands on from Rambo
JediSamuraiMRB
Best Rambo was the first, but this one was bloody and violent and very good.
ragesRemorse
ive been meaning to see this. When i first saw the trailer some months back. I intended to see the movie just to see how bad it would be. I realized recently, though, any movie that revolves around a 60 year old sly stallone, pissed off, taking on an army and making shit dead cant go wrong. Stallone looks like a brick shit house in the previews .
Darth Vicious
I dunno if it was special fx, a double or what but when he was running through the jungle, he was flying! He seemed real fast for 60+ years old.
Menetnashté
Movie was so damn awesome, I wasn't expecting a helluva a lot but DAMN! Stallone can still kick ass like no tomorrow. Loved the Merc sniper to. it was sick at the end how they were just ripping through people with those .50 cal shots, and when Rambo ****s up all those guys with the bow pure GREATNESS
SnakeEyes
Man, I guess I better see this movie.

Wow Stallone still has it, lol
Dusty
This movie was so awesome.

any news about the fifth installment of Rambo?
Rajendra
i don't think I will like this movie,I've seen the trailer before and Stallone seems to be too old to make another Rambo, IMO he wasn't fit for the film already.

Sly has said that this Rambo was it for him. If the studio wishes than they would reboot the franchise with someone else as John Rambo
super pr*xy
i just got back from seeing this actually. loved the violence. there are a few wtf moments, but pretty realistic. when rambo was manning the machine gun... holy shit. school boy kicked ass... he needs his own movie.
and was it just me or did sly have fat fingers... i mean FAT fingers. bardock
bigtuna
i'm really looking forward to this. I loved First Blood, and even though i hated both sequels, i still had high hopes for this.
If i ever make it as a director, i want to remake First Blood, but make it more faithful to the novel. The book had a million times more violence and gore than First Blood and the first two sequels combined.

It's more about its viewers still having an appreciation for nostalgia, really.
Sly barely has motor skills, much less "it" with regards to filmmaking.

-AC "It" meaning he is still a draw at the theatre. I take it you have never seen Sly in a non action movie, his acting isnt that bad.

I know what you mean, and it's not that he's a draw, it's that he finally clocked onto nostalgia, and others bought it. If he had "it", he wouldn't have faded into nothingness.
The only other good movie he's ever been in, and been good in, is Copland.
I say "other", I don't know why. He hasn't been good in anything else.

-AC whats that movie where he is a mob boss trying to go clean and his daughter is getting married to a banker? it has Chazz Palamenteri in it and Vincent Perez in it. Sly was good in that one.

I suppose its a matter of taste, you don´t go and watch Stallone if you appreciate Shakespeare type acting, if you like action then Stallone, Schwarzenegger & co are a good bet.
Mairuzu
that sniper guy was badass
papabeard
I liked the new Rambo flick, it was kinda off the chain in places, good effects, well shot, stallones face of melted wax, lots of blood and guts, could have done with more of a denouement but good entertainment.

Good point.
What I find shallow is how some people regard the others as stupid or low for watching and or maybe even liking a movie like the latest Rambo flick just because the film isn't Shakespearean in manner.
Forget that. It was Shakesperean in action.
Alpha Centauri
I don't think people are stupid or low for liking it, I think it's stupid and low to confuse a movie being good, with the viewer being hyped by nostalgia. It's like people who were young when Doom came out saying "It's better than all these new FPS games.", it's not, clearly.
If Rambo was a new, un-franchised movie with an unknown actor, it wouldn't have got anywhere near the acclaim.
If you like it because of nostalgia, fine, but it is what it is.

No, because I find beer gross, and find the herd mentality of "If you're a guy, you must like certain things." to be completely idiotic.

I said the idea that being a guy automatically makes you feel you have to like certain things is idiotic.
Not those specific things themselves.

This new Rambo was a good action movie. Is someone stupid in saying that?
And you must be crazy to assume i think early doom was better than Doom 3, lol. Doom 3 and mostly all current FPS kick the living shite outta 99% of past FPS. In fact i'm only into the newest FPS if they're good.
And if Rambo was a new, un-franchised movie with an unknown actor, it still would've been a kick ass action movie. Sure it wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the acclaim because it'd lack the starpower Stallone would bring because his popular connection with the film still would've been a kick ass action movie. One i would've still watched. Cause it looked raw and gory as hell.

Kudos to you, I love Doom, but some people take nostalgia too far. I prefer playing Doom to Halo, but Halo is clearly superior overall.

I saw Rambo last Saturday night and it was pretty bad ass. I was never a huge fan of the other Rambo movies and I'm not the biggest Stallone fan, so therefore I did not go see it for nostalgic purposes. As far as an action flick, I thought it delivered. The violence was artfully done. The shots where limbs go flying off and blood splatters in every direction were great. This movie really sets up the bad guys as people who you really want to see die, therefore watching Rambo and the other soldiers kill them was very satisfying. Worth seeing? Yes. I even liked it better than Cloverfield.
Endrict Nuul
Just saw it and I loved it...
Again, another well made movie from Sly to complete a series.

I've watched its movie trailer and I find it very awesome., and from that I'm planning to watch it.,

It's a kick a$$ action movie. It's definetely not for the faint of heart, so buckle up.
Alpha Centauri
Gotta love Stallone's outlook on this movie.
"People find war glamourous, this shows that it's not.".
Of course, in his ever infinite wisdom, he chose to show that war is not fun, a game or glamourous by filming a movie in which armies get blown apart by a man on his own who can barely form a coherent sentance.

Among the young actors today, who do you think is fit for the part?
Endrict Nuul
Why would SLY give his baby over to another actor? when he started it and wants to end it on a good note.

Rambo was so popular., and almost everyone knows it.,
MildPossession
Indeed, he was rather good in Cop Land compared to a lot of his other work. Also had James Mangold to get it out of him in Cop Land.
As for the Rambo movies, I have yet to see a single one.
Rajendra
well I saw the movie and it was quiet interesting, the action are good, the guns and the effects but I just didn't like to see Stallone again, he seems to be so old on this film.
Cory Chaos
This was pure entertainment, and it wasn't as heavy with the politcal agenda as I thought it would be. Hell, Burma has yanked it from their theatre for making them look bad, even though it's art imitating life. The black market copies are selling like hotcakes though, lol.
The Burmese know the truth..
Deano
its a good movie. nothing more nothing less. First Blood is still the better movie
Faith27
Is it true that this is the bloodiest Rambo film ever because of the numbers of people he killed.

Im leaving soon to go to the cimema to go see Rambo and i cant wait i have hear its good for good mindless fun. So hoping for a good entertaining night all round.
Antediluvian89
Saw it a few days ago. The story was mostly lame as well as the acting and dialouges. So, if you take away all the extremely gory and bloody action-scenes, it was mostly bad.
4/10 at best.

I bet the end credits looked allright...
=Tired Hiker=
The end credits were amazing! The font was pleasant to the eyes, and the scroll speed was not to fast, not too slow, but just right.

yea, this movies' definetely not for the artsy hearted. So metros, stay away.

well...,yeah, it's Rambo, mate.
I enjoyed the movie. I never liked the two sequels and was never to fond of first blood. Anyone that watches this movie is only watching it to see Rambo murder. Thankfully, in this film, he does it in style.
Mr Parker
I hated the last two Rambo movies made after the original First Blood so I just cant bring myself to see this movie.
Phantom Ghost
I think this was a worthy sequel filled with lots of gory action and cool moments for Rambo's character. I just wish it was a little longer.
coolmovies
I'll be picking this up when this is out
Rogue Jedi
when is it out?
coolmovies
Its out at the end of next month

rambo and a 50. cal = a lot of dead bodies

There gonna make rambo 5

Saw this last night and it was not memorable at all... so a fifth coming, ugh. I've yet to see the other Rambo movies, will I feel the same?

As skeptical non rambo fan. I was pleasantly satisfied with Rambo4 . It was like a a true 80's action flick with some modern style thrown in. I've always liked Stallone and considering how much he has done for action movies. I thought he deserved another Rocky and Rambo movie if he really wanted to put those characters to rest in a different way. I thought he succeeded in doing so with both Balboa and john Rambo. With the news of a 5th Rambo, im quick to jump to the conclusion that this outing is no longer a nostalgic mission, but an attempt to milk a dying cow that once harvested nothing but money.
Rogue Jedi
Is it just me, or was Rambo even more badass in Rambo 4 than the others?
