Rambo IV. your thoughts

[TwoHats]

Bought this when it was released because I love the old films.

Watched it again tonight after trawling my collection for something I'd not seen in a while.

This film is brilliant, absolutely outstanding in its own right. Hooking it onto the end of the Rambo trilogy. I think hed done the franchise proud and aged Rambo with dignity. Also very gritty and realistic, a really good and largely overlooked film due to the title.

Its awful. 'Aged with dignity'!? Please. It was made for the UFC generation and is full of cringe-inducingly forced swearing, and portrays the violence in a way I find to be vulgar. Sort of like some hyped up teen screaming 'LOOK AT THE BLOOD, LOOK, THAT GUY JUST LOST HIS ARMS AND LEGS!!!!!'

Rambo: First Blood is excellent. The others....no.

Fair enough, each to their own. I thought a bit of realism went a long way. And gave Rambo a bit of dignity instead of being some mindless robot.


In case you didnt realise, war is ugly and unkind. If anything i think this STOPPED trivialising it!

Again just my opinion which is why i asked for others thoughts.

Are you aware of a thing called REALITY? What do you think happens when a human being is hit with a .50 calibre round? Clue, it isn't pretty. Thus film is realistic, the others glorify violence

It doesn't show people flying through the air after monster exposions. It shows foot soldiers being cut to pieces by small arms fire. Far more realistic.

It was OK, certainly dialed up the pointless gore factor. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.

Think the OP really loves it ha ha. Think he had a little wk half way through thinking about all the guns.
