I saw Rambo.
I was very impressed with it. It is a very 80s style action.
Story wise it is nothing spectacular but it suits the movie perfectly. Its right to the point and its mostly about atmosphere. You won't see stupid Hollywood 'humor' here or cartoony actions scenes in which people survive explosions, car crashes and gun wounds without consequences. It is realistic action, at least by Hollywood modern standards.
The movie also does an excellent job of not 'sugar coating' elements in the movie, as I said before people are shot and killed, no cartoony action. Also the movie very much highlights the horror and injustice the people of Burma live with under a corrupt military regime and its not politically correct or anything about it, very unashamedly 'in your face' and I appreciate that.
The gore in the movie is not stupidly unrealistic as in typical modern day Hollywood. When the army begins to mortar a village, it is very graphic and realistic without exaggeration or toned down censoring. Its been a long time since we get a movie such as this that does not try to mask the horrors of the world or events. Stallone deserves credit for making an action movie that's not just violent for the sake of violence, there is purpose for it here as the most violent scenes are shockingly realistic and truly grabs you at an emotional level as this sort of thing is actually happening in Burma at the present time.
Overall, the best Action movie of its type that I have seen in over 10 years. Very well done Mr Stallone!
Stallone could teach Bay a thing or two on how to do an action scene

They just need to find a way for transformers to bleed......Stallone could teach Bay a thing or two on how to do an action scene
And I liked it when the reality hit the "violence is never a solution" missionaries.They were pretty quick to forget that load and smash people to death with rocks and whatever else was handy.

I remember the rumour for this movie's early plot was that Rambo was gonna parachute into the Afghanistan Mountains & personally kill Bin Laden...
Damn you US Military letting real life get in the way of a cool violence-filled two hours of make believe
Oh, & I'll be watching it Tuesday night - can't wait

Wooooooooooooooo
LOVED IT!
I was really worried that it would be unbeleivable like most other Hollywood action movies, but they must have had a millitary person to advise them that Grenades don't blow everything up.
Gory yes but i like that.
9.5/10

Are there mortar videos out there?

Well you don't need a lot of imagination to know how much damage mortar shells can do to humans. However it is very common in Hollywood to have people walk away from such explosions which just mud and scratches to show for it which is silly and wrecks my suspension of believe.
Yep, that's me.LOL! I jsut read this post over at Don Murphy's board a second ago! Thought it was the same Kup, now I know for sure!

I saw it last night and was pretty impressed. What surprised me though was the "layers" that were present.I just don't remember Rambo ever being so deep and meaningful. My childhood memories of full on action and tough talk. Very good fun flick nonetheless.

There was a scene though when he got hte necklace from the girl, he did the exact same thing in Rambo II i think. That girl ended up dying on the rocks.
