    Review: Rambo

    Hey folks at UHM. I have come to you with yet another review.

    Well I had a few horror movies that I wanted to review but I haven't seen them in a while, so I decided to wait and watch them before I review them. I also decided to do a review on one of the best films of the year, RAMBO.

    Now there story centers on John Rambo who is living alone in the mountains and jungles of northern Thailand. But not long as a group of human rights missionaires asks for his aide to lead them through the jungle, but he refuses to do anything. So the missionaries decide to go on their own, leading them all to get kidnapped by the burmese army. Now this is the time when Rambo and a few others decide to rescue them in the war zone.

    Now this is an awesome movie. One, for Sylvester Stallone to be 61, he sure proves that age is nothing but a number as he runs, movies quickly, and does a lot of slicing and dicing and shooting throughout the flick.

    Now the other reason would be to why I put this review on the sight, it's violence. In a world of horrible PG-13 movies, we gore fiends are desperate for something bloody, and if you want to quinch your thirst, I think you might want to watch this. Yes, in some scenes I had to turn my head in the opposite direction, because we get a serving of heads being blown off, bodies being chopped up and blown in half, guts and limbs flying all over the damn place, and to add the cherry on top of the cake we see Rambo himself gut a man completely with his machete. It is very good in all aspects of gore and blood, and action as well.

    Now this makes out for a good action film, as we never have a dull moment, due to good characterization and issues. Also the action is top notch, which contains everything that you would expect from a movie like this. I just personally considered this one of the best to come out of 2008.

    So if I had to choose a movie to really depict war for what it really is, this would be one of them. Yes this was a great film, and Stallone is incredible. So I give this film an 8/10 or maybe even higher. Definitely check this out, and make sure you get the unrated version to get all the gore.

    I've never seen the film in its entirety, but I did catch the last 30 minutes or so. The part that I did see was amazing though. :thumbup3:

    Solid flick. Stallone's acting was pretty good.

    **minor spoiler**


    Convincing as a war torn aging veteran who prefered to keep to himself and live out his remaining years away from the USA, where he felt unwanted.

    More convincing as the ever dangerous Rambo once awoken and in that zone of kill or be killed.

    Didn't care for the movie so much, the dialogue was pretty awful and contained every generic action movie line imaginable. The violence was ridiculous enough to keep me entertained for a while.

    I still can't get that one gory scene out of my head. The scene where Rambo aims that machine gun at close range at the one enemy soldier.
