I saw it this afternoon, and jesus christ, I was totally blown away. This is the greatest action movie of ALL TIME. When the credits started rolling, about half of the people in the theater stood up and cheered.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, clutching my bottle of water so hard that I crushed it, no movie has ever done this to me. I am going to go see it again tomorrow.
Seriously, this movie was like getting kicked in the nuts. This is how action movies should be done. Rambo should be the baseline, the benchmark, the standard, for all action movies to come.
All the worthless, spineless movie critics crying about how “jingoistic” Rambo 4 is should be all the proof you need that it will rank as one of the greatest “man’s” movies of all time(and I haven’t even seen it yet).
I also saw this movie last night…and yes I liked it a lot as well. And I don’t claim to have seen very many movies, but I do think I will rank this movie as the most violent, bloody movie I have ever seen. I kind of thought it made Saving Private Ryan look like The Little Mermaid in terms of gore. Haaaaardcore men. It’s just a tad darker than the other ones…just a tad. Lot’s of decapitations by rifle blast.
Last night was my b-day, and I was achin’ to go see it, but I ain’t got no dude’s to share this manly event with, only my girlfriend and that bitch is gonna whine about it the entire time. But my brother called me from California last night to say “Aaron, get your fat ass up and go see this movie. I’ve never seen so many people’s shit get wrecked in and hour and a half. I had to go to the bathroom afterwards to whipe the shit from my leg.” I wanna see it so bad, it hurts…
I thought he said, YOU “gutless” fucks. Same difference… the SAS guy was badass… he was used to the ‘one thousand yard stare’.
Or rather, the stare that explains that he has killed thousands of people.
That 50cal machine gun part was badass.
Also, don’t know about you… but after every good scene there was clapping and rooting… and even when “Sylvester Stallone’s” name came on the screen too… and hadn’t even appeared yet.
People yelling things like “It’s never over!!!”
“kill that mother fucker”!!(when the pedo leader gets his guts ripped out)
lastly, As we all poured out, there were 4 girls sitting on a bench outside of the theater and one of them made the comment “it’s like all guys…”.
One last unrelated note… There was a preview for a movie… titled…(i’m not fucking kidding)
This film rocks. It was in every way as good as the first one but with better violence. The special effects were excellent with the realistic results of large caliber weapons on human flesh graphically displayed. Rambo was freakin’ huge, guess he found an alternate source after that little Australia mixup. Spoiler: And he finally went home to Arizona in the end. End Spoiler
Maybe in a few years we’ll get some back home Rambo antics. There is some crazy shit going on in AZ what with human smuggling and drug trafficking and it could use the Rambo touch to straighten things out…
