If you like it because of nostalgia, fine, but it is what it is.

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.

No, I just disagree.

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.

So you agree, then.

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.

Yea, go watch it. You'll like it.
It's a kick a$$ action movie. It's definetely not for the faint of heart, so buckle up.
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.
