Rambo (2008)

Rambo (2008) the fourth film in the franchise is the ultimate action film from 2008 it is a bad-ass action film since Rambo III (1988) 20 years come out. It was a huge improvement over Rambo 3. I love this film to death most of the action films are not that gory like this movie. It fast paced, it goes quickly around and Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo and he reloads his famous character, he portrays John Rambo well. This is my comic book hero yes John Rambo is my ultimate action hero of all time. I am a HUGE John Rambo fan and this is my second favorite film series and my number 1 action movies in the action genre. The first franchise is Friday the 13th movies and Rambo are my favorite absolutely franchise. I am glad Stallone made the fourth film and now Sly wants to make Rambo V and his 70 years old how will that work. Stallone throw that idea years ago because he was un happy. Rambo the fourth film in my opinion made a full circle and he close the character well. We don't need another sequel and Rambo V will be awful leave our character alone Stallone. John Rambo movies are so action packed and stuffed with violence, that no man who values his testosterone should miss them. I only have to say that there is so much intense violence and gore that little children should steer clear and teenagers should persist their parents to see this movie. Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo, the former Green Beret and Vietnam veteran who in present day works as a boat captain in Southeast Asia and takes a job transporting missionaries on a medical aid mission. When the missionaries are captured by Burmese Junta soldiers, Rambo joins a group of mercenaries on a rescue mission. This is Stallone's only movie he written and directed him self. The action is gory and bloody that I love it. Rambo is using a Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun. Rambo uses the M2 to obliterate the driver and than he kills all the soldiers while he is reloading the machine gun M2 - .50cal BMG and he kills all the soldiers that scene kicks ass. You have a lot of fire power in here and I love the rescue mission in here. This is a bad-ass kick-ass film! I love Rambo's Mini Machete he uses in this movie. He chops people's heads off, he sets mines against Burmese soldiers.I also like some of the characters in this movie: Julie Benz as Sarah, Graham McTavish as Lewis I love his character to death. Matthew Marsden as School Boy those three characters are memorable to me. I don't like the extended version because it is different from the theatrical cut and Rambo and I don't like his character in the extended cut that is why Stallone release this version theatrical cut. Richard Crenna and Jerry Goldsmith did not return for the fourth film, because they both past away and are no longer with us anymore. Brian Tyler did a music score for the film and in my opinion did a good music score for the film like Jerry Goldsmith did for the first three film. In my opinion Brian Tyler's score is great for the film. 10/10 Rambo the final fourth film was one of the best action films of all time, my favorite film heroes don't get old they just reload. My third favorite action film of all time.

"Rambo" is the fourth movie in the series of violent action films starring Sylvester Stallone as the Vietnam Vet John Rambo. It's a more "realistic" movie than the ones from the 80s. It's less cartoonish and cheesy. Sylvester Stallone even keeps his shirt on.Sadly, the extreme and sadistic violence drags it down. Heads explode, people are eaten by pigs, women and children are raped. And in one of the most disturbing scenes, a Burmese soldier grabs a baby out of the arms of the mother and throws him into a burning hut. The good thing about this movie is its religious themes, and that it deals with the persecution of Christians in Burma. But it feels exploitative...the sadistic violence against those people is only there so the audience can cheer when Rambo massacres the badguys in the most gruesome ways possible. I remember some people cheered and clapped their hands when the sniper took one soldier's head off. I'm not saying that it's always wrong to go to war or act in self defense. I'm not even against capital punishment for the most dangerous people. But killing is a serious matter. It shouldn't be fun. We shouldn't enjoy seeing people get killed...This movie should just have been a drama movie, like Gran Torino. Imagine if people went into this movie, expecting a violent Rambo movie, and got the exact opposite instead. A thoughtful movie about war and faith. Maybe Rambo 5 will get it right?

Movie Review: "Rambo" (2007)Slightly delayed in exhibition efforts for a preliminary release in holiday season 2007/2008, Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone directs himself reprising the legendary U.S. military drop-out "John Rambo" to the heart in balance-seeking beginnings in small village by the river in Thailand after years of mercenaries war-zone labor reaching from being hunted in his homeland "First Blood" (1982) to a devastating traumatizing mission of reentering Vietnam in "Part II" (1985) and further far-regions of slave-like states of mine labor toward rescuing his sole friend in life, U.S. military black-op mission granting Colonel Trautman from the clutches of invading Russian forces in Afghanistan in 1988, when Rambo must one more time indulge into mass-killings beyond ultra-violent proportions executed with live-action gun-shells, bow & arrow, grenades and machine-guns to rescue a Christian activist group, entering a war-zone with pink-eyed wish to bring meaning and change a world gone havoc.Director Sylvester Stallone, who had also been co-written the screenplay with Art Monterastelli that wants to be nothing more than full-bodied, honesty-seeking war-action-thriller entertainment with sharing personal thoughts on hidden conflicts raging around the globe; here the for five decades struggling state of Burma, now the official republic of Myanmar, building a government apart from a Military state ruling from 1962 to 2011 in which this motion picture is set with pitch-striking 85-Minute-cut by editor Sean Albertson, who despite fairly-covered angles of cinematography in fast-paced close-to-action shots, bringing a transforming character of John Rambo, who becomes the war machine in every spectator mind to push war-action to final extremes with combining live-action ultra-violence with digital polishing works, when this re-interpretation of what war injects into a man's spirit turn into a beating heart, which lies under a wall of memories to cope with, while life spins on to fulfillment.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

After nearly 20 Rambo-less years (1988-2007), I was a bit skeptical about what to expect from this film. Sylvester Stallone seemed a bit old to be playing the lead role, and the character had been "on the shelf" for so long that his viability in American culture was very much in doubt. Fortunately, though the writers/producers didn't get everything right, they pleasantly surprised me by providing a film that is quite enjoyable and worthy of the Rambo title.For a basic plot summary, this film explores a much darker side of the John Rambo (Stallone) character. Found in the deepest regions of Indo-China, an emotionally lost and severely conflicted Rambo reluctantly agrees safe passage to a group of missionaries bringing supplies to the war-ravaged region of Burma. When the peace mission goes awry and the mercenaries are called in, Rambo feels compelled to once again enter the war zone he has tried for so long to avoid.Really, the only glaring problem with this film is that the plot is very predictable. You know that things will get screwed up somehow and that Rambo will be called in to fix the situation, so some of the Burmese-territory exposition is a little tedious. If you can get past this, though, it truly is an entertaining film.The aspect that stands out the most is the brutalness of the entire picture. What the film loses in predictability it makes up for with some brutal scenes that will really make you despise the Burmese war force. The slaughter of women, children, animals, and the complete burning of villages are shown with no detail spared. Plus, it isn't as if the brutality is just being played for bloody special effects, either. Stallone did his research this time and tried to replicate the shock value of civil warfare/genocide, and the result are some very shocking scenes.What really sets this movie apart, though, is its focus on the John Rambo character. Whereas parts II & III of the series were just shoot-em-ups, this installment actually tries (like the original) to delve into what makes Rambo tick. In fact, a lot more time (the film is only 91 minutes long) could have been devoted to the inner-workings of the Vietnam Vet and it wouldn't have been boring.Thus, if you are at all skeptical about coming back to the Rambo franchise after such a long layoff, please dispel those notions and see this movie. It is easily the best effort in the franchise since the original First Blood.
