Summary: Dreadful action flick
Comment: There's something inherently distasteful about taking a real-life tragedy - the genocide in Burma - and using it as fodder for yet another fantasy-fueled "Rambo" movie.
After a 18-year hiatus, Sylvester Stallone returns to one of his two signature roles (the other, of course, being Rocky) - that of Vietnam War vet, John Rambo, the world-weary and cynical reluctant warrior who, in this installment, is hired to lead a group of mercenaries into Burma to rescue some American missionaries being held captive there. Rambo may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but he is certainly capable of wiping out a whole cadre of Burmese soldiers all by his lonesome. The poor people being systematically slaughtered under that regime will, I'm sure, be relieved to hear he's on his way.
Despite a terrifically high body count and endless footage of stomach-churning carnage, it's amazing just how utterly dull an action movie "Rambo" turns out to be. Stallone, as always, mumbles and grunts his way through his part, which, considering the laughably pretentious dialogue assigned to him (especially in "reflective" voiceover narration), is probably the wisest choice he could have made under the circumstances. Graham McTavish displays some fire in the belly as a belligerent mercenary, but he's the only one on either side of the camera who seems to be putting any real effort into the movie.

Summary: loved it
Comment: I loved it through and through. I also liked Sylvester's offer of donating the proceedings of his dvd sales to the poor people of Burma. Good movie! A must see....

Summary: So Awesome, I'd Like Another Please
Comment: This movie delivers everything you would expect from the Rambo series, a full out guys movie. The story is surprisingly edge-of-your-seat storyline with great special effects with Stallone looking as great as the character as he ever has. Believe me, he is awesome! If you are a fan of the Rambo series, then there is no disappoinment to be found in this movie. It has some very detailed scenes that are almost so realistic it's scary. People watching this movie will stop and realize how good they have it in their lives after watching this movie. I wouldn't want to be put in anybody's shoes in those villages under attack. Great movie, definitely worth buying.

Summary: Sure, you could think about what this movie might say, or you just watch it and kill time
Comment: Well, there are tons of people writing reviews about this movie and how it really says something about the plight of those less fortunate who actually do live in Rambo's world of fear, poverty, and oppression. It really is sad, and I don't mean to belittle their suffering, because it is horrible.
That being said, this is an action movie, and it's a pretty good one at that. Don't come looking for some kind of stupid love story or a weak coming-of-age drama here. There may be some of that stuff, sure, but it is handled like everything else in this movie, with sheer over-the-top explicit violence and vehicle-mounted armaments. I think I just spoiled the plot for you.
If you are looking for a way to kill a couple hours and need something a little different, give this a shot. While the action isn't non-stop, when it's there it's pretty insane. The last 15 minutes are why surround sound and subs were invented; take everything you know about a final action sequence and then double it.
Is this a great movie, probably not, but it does what a Rambo movie should, and is light years better than the last two, IMO.

Summary: Rambo made you think...
Comment: ...of what's going on in our society.So,you thought you was watching a serious action movie,and you ended up with a combo of Rambo and Saving Private Ryan as far as the reality of "war".And what's going with other countries and the problems they have with rebels and warlords.
