Rambo: Review By JohnLennonLives

In this latest Rambo installment, John Rambo has retreated to a simple life in a rural Thai village near the Burmese border, capturing snakes for local entertainers, and transporting roamers in his old PT boat. Following repeated pleas, Rambo helps ferry a group of Christian aid workers into war-torn Burma, where the local Karen villagers are regularly tortured and massacred by Major Tint's sadistic soldiers. The humanitarian mission is going well, until the village is attacked and the missionaries are kidnapped, and Rambo is once again asked to transport - but this time a group of mercenaries, assembled by the missionaries' minister on a deadly rescue mission. This time he doesn't stay behind

"Live for nothing, or die for something." Those are one of the quotes from 61 year-old Rambo, and apparently he has found something to live for, resurrecting series that many people have lost faith in. Good on ya man.

Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone knew what he was doing when hiring these people. The special effects looked really, really, well real. Except for the biggest boom, the explosions looked awesome, along with the dummies and blood. I guess that's what you get when you hire people behind POTC 3.

Rambo, as you can imagine, has it's flawes. For one, it relies on s#@$ action physics, I mean I think that sniper was powerful, but blowing off the guys head? I think not.

For once, Mr. Stallone wasn't the worst actor in a movie, that dubious honor belongs to Julie Benz, I actu-laughed at her and Stallone trying to have a serious conversation.

Also, I couldn't feel for the mercenaries, I found them to be complete A-w&#%& and at times, wanted some to die. Even the missionaries, wanted some to die.

I also disagree with Stallone's directing style, I think he cut too fast for some stuff, I couldn't even know what was going on. All I knew was that some gunshots were going off, people were screaming, you could hear kabooms, and the camera was shaky as heck.

All in all, the film was fun and sure to not disappoint fans of Rambo.
