Fantastic Return, 22 January 2008Author: juanveron1987 from United KingdomWell finally I've been able to see the movie and all I can say is KICKASS!!! I've not been a huge fan of the Rambo Franchise, for me parts 2 and 3 were rather lame, yet this movie somehow mixes the action of those cheesy sequels with the spirit of First Blood. Stallone is a total bad ass in this and basically kills the bad guys (really violently) and saves the day. There's a little more to it than that, but whats most important is that this is a return to true old school 80s action flicks done well! Heres to an influx of many more! The supporting actors do a fair job (hey its an action movie don't expect Oscars) but Stallone puts in the best performance. For me he was totally 100% convincing as Rambo, despite his advancing years, plus he looks the part too!Well done Sly, and thanks. This rocked.
Stallone is still here!, 20 January 2008Author: misel982001 from GreeceDuring his career, Sylvester Stallone gave the audience many great times to remember him.From Rocky and Rambo, to Demolition Man and Shade, Stallone was always a true super star. As an almost exclusive action films actor, he brought to the audience for over three decades, high quality action movies. However, aging is always a problem for such actors and Stallone could escape it....a little though! His physical condition is tremendous! Let's not forget that he is almost 62. It is a fact that his last films did not manage to reach the quality of his previous successes. Driven, D-Tox, Avenging Angelo and Shade, were really good films indeed but their shine was not as big as Rocky or Rambo. That is why Stallone returned with his major two success roles. Rocky Balboa was excellent and meaningfull. Now it is time for...John Rambo! This film is simply excellent. Although it is mostly an action movie it has also deeper meanings such as ethical values and political messages. Just like Rocky Balboa, John Rambo uses the formula of the first movie mixed with this of the forth!Monosylabic dialogues from Rambo meet the political messages of the activists, The violent reaction of Rambo towards the brutal soldiers is justified by his ethical code with a deeper meaning that oppresion and injustice generates strong reaction! Acting as a whole, is very good and convincing. Stallone is really born to be Rambo and the supporting cast is made by young actors who meet the quality standards of Milo Ventimiglia. The project budget is 50m so as you understand there are many real-like explosions and effects. What is new is the ultra violent death scenes. They really look true!The story is interesting although ,as you expect, not complicated. To summarize, John Rambo is one of the best action movies that 2008 will probably bring to us.Also it is a must to see because not only it is a really good movie but also because it is the last Rambo film. Stallone even if he is 62, looks no more than 45 and his condition is impressive. A must for all action film fans and not only by them, Rambo is a really good film and you should not miss it. Was the above comment useful to you?
I'm not gonna see it. The trailers look like he went back to 1987 to kick some Sandanista ass, not 2007 to kick the shit out of OBL.
