I bought this movie just to have the complete set and I was curious to see how they would pull this off. My favorite Rambo was First Blood. The next two were not particularly memorable. Now this one has potential if you like action. The action is quite brutal,resembling Saving Private Ryan. But hey, they are bad guys. Stallone does a good job acting the part of John Rambo, the way we might think he would be 20 years after Viet Nam. He has a soft heart for a missionary, gets in trouble and then blasts his way out. A lot of bad guys pay the price. What a ride. The Special Features are very interesting. The plot of this movie takes place in Burma and the movie mirrors some of the conditions in that country. Filmed in Thailand.
Let me start out by saying I loved this movie. Stallone is one of my favorite action stars of all time and I loved the original Rambo and Rocky movies as a kid. I guess like most kids the idea of a super strong and powerful guy always appealed to me. The " Superhero " complex takes over and you just cant help but root for him. As we grow up we more often then not begin to realize that these so called superhero's aren't real. Not only are they not real in the movies, as we found out over the past few months some are not even real in real life. This movie shows Stallones dedication to working out, working on movies and staying young. As we all know he got busted flying in to Australia with viles of Human Growth Hormone and Testosterone to film this movie. When asked he readily admitted to using this stuff through out his 20+ year career. I am not looking down on him by any means. We all want to stay young, live forever and be a Superhero and this movie reminds us that even though we are grown up, with a little help from " Anti Aging Therapy " we can still attain " Superhero " status.Read full review

Rambo is an 80s-style action movie with modern sensibilities. Stallone is not a one-man army as in previous movies but rather a dogged old soldier that comes to terms with what he actually is while racking up a body count that would make Tarintino proud. In many ways, this movie parallels Rocky Balboa as a mature ending to a series of sometimes over-the-top but fun action movies. John Rambo in this movie is an aging but potent killing machine that for the first time since First Blood accomplishes his mission in a very believable manner. The action is visceral and downright gory at times surpassing the hard-core scenes of Omaha Beach in Saving Private Ryan. The film pulls no punches when showing exactly what a Barret .50 caliber sniper rifle can do to a human body. Stallone mutters only a very few lines of dialog in this movie... there's no speeches or patriotic flag waving going on here but there is a clear lesson on how well liberal idealism holds up under barbaric realities amid genocide and war.Read full review
