    Rambo is back with a vengence in this wildly violent, action-packed thriller/redemption tale. Julie Benz delivers a well-acted performance in a supporting role.

    A real surprise. It's a pure blood and guts action classic. Rambo is back and better than ever. Probaly the best one since First Blood. Directed and written by Stallone with such energy and fearless velocity. A slick and well-crafted adventure. An intense, shocking, eye-popping, ...( read more)head-bashing, bone-crunching, blood-thristy and exhilerating action-packed thrill-machine. Awsome adreniline-pumping action entertainment. It's truly heart-pounding, very thrilling and incrediably exhilerating. Sylvester Stallone gives a teriffic action-hero performance, bringing back the darkness, regret, wearyness and emotion that made Rambo one of his most popular characters ever. Stallone proves here that he's still a legend. A riveting and straight-forward edge of your seat adventure that you cant get enough of. An escape to old-school action movie fun.

    Rambo for me was a lot like Tom Cruise's performance in Tropic Thunder. I expected next to nothing, somehow managed to end up pleasantly surprised for a while there then when he refused to ease off the clutch he fell flat on his silly ass again and I got turned off. And that's wh...( read more)at Stallone does with Rambo IV. I expected nothing as every other Rambo movie gave us nothing--weak plot, horrific acting, the occasional terrible one-liner, entertaining action and that's about it. Same thing here, no surprise. Didn't mind it too much. Then the grisly, over the top action (honestly, the only reason I bothered with this movie) kicked in. And I love grisly, over the top action but here it just seemed ridiculous and pointless. I actually laughed for a few minuted but once I realized it went on too long that was it. I'm sure if I was drunk I wouldn't have minded. I do thank Stallone for keeping his shirt on and not subjecting us to the large piece of boiled chicken he calls his body. Other than a few unintentionally funny parts this movie was a fart out of the ass of Rambo 3. Thanks to Stallone for trying to hold it in for so long but we all know they've got to come out sometime...

    He shoots a guy in half with a machine gun, and lots of heads get blown off. That about sums up this movie.

    Holy f**king shit!!! if you like 80's action films with plenty of violence, gore, swearing and over the top gun play then this is THE movie you want. This is absolutely AWESOME I kid you not, its the best action film or film in general I have seen for years. This truely harks bac...( read more)k to the days of old with Arnie and Stallone kicking ass. The plot is very very basic, a small bunch of do gooders want to try and change the nasty situation in Burma, they go in and get taken hostage by the ultra violent baddies. Hence an aliens, predator style rip story involving a small group of top badass mercs going in to save the day. The group is the typical bad mouthed unit from all countries with totally different skills and style which doesn't really make for good teamwork haha. I believe two are English, one American Chinese, one Indian and one US with rambo. As I said, memories of Hudson in Aliens and the commandos from Predator are strong in your mind.

    The cast are also really good, there is the slightly show off swearing thing going on which is a shame as its been done to death but the unit is small yet believeable. The idea is cliched and over used sure but it can be effective (not always) the loud mouth swearing English southerner is alittle annoying but the rest are likeable, the English sniper being a good character. The bad guys are all very effective too, the leader of the army being cruel and intense. Stallone is also surprisingly good here, he looks good, nice hair which is still dark (dyed?) looks fit, abit chunky but hey the guy is getting on, acting is deep but not great of course and the all American action man..again. I gotta say, I really thought this was a bad idea, Im no rocky fan but he really has pulled this of, Stallone has gotten better with age :)

    Still, this works well in the film and just adds to the build up. The baddies are really bad, really nasty and uber evil. BE WARNED there is an emense amount of violence, gore, blood, limbs, decapitations and knife play in this film haha :) the baddies go around killing the locals like squatting flies, they blow them up, chop them up, rape them and kill the children. They dont beat around the bush believe me, this could be the most violent movie in years. The amount of sniper shots taking peoples heads of is both cool and disturbing, I presume that would happen in real life hehe maybe.

    The effects are amazing, you can see they are using dummies but it just works as its all split second stuff. There appears to be no cgi, its all old fashioned stunts and plastic bullets, soldiers are getting holes blown in them, limbs are shot of all the time and the claret flows and splatters everywhere, plus there's action from a huge M60 mounted boat and Sly's trusted bow.

    What can I say, it just kicks ass, the final battle is the best I have seen since the harrowing opening sequence from Saving Private Ryan, you know whats gonna happen all the way but you dont care, this is old school movie action and its about f**king time haha Stallone has really hit the target and impressed me here, this is what Arnie has wanted to do since Last Action Hero but failed miserably and Im a huge Arnie fan since childhood.

    GO SEE THIS NOW...its frankly the best film in ages. If you like the good old days of action flicks with no cgi and just real men killing then this is the dogs bollocks. One warning though...this is RAW violence, extremely brutal.
    Simply for 80's fans only and probably not for the ladies haha.
    Stallone is back, the 80's are back and Im fudging loving this......AVE IT!!!

    Straight-forward return of Rambo, 20 years later. Missing the intensity and solemness of First Blood but this is what Rambo was made into, a killer. Just as the sequels went more action orientated, this is no exception. Plot sucks, but it delivers what it is supposed to... lots o...( read more)f blood and gore in today's hotzone.

    Intense and visceral, a blood-soaked action flick that is quite appalling in its pessimistic speech that maybe the only useful weapon against brutality in the world is brutality itself.
