Rambo on DVD (2007)

Awful

Swagger from Bath [Highly rated reviewer] , 24/02/2008

I went to see this movie with high expectations on what reviewers has been saying.But I am sad to say that I have wasted the price of a cinema ticket, money on refreshments and couple hours of my life.This has totally ruined the Rambo series.I felt I needed subtitles to hear what Sly was saying most of the time.Stallone just looks awful and not the Stallion he used to be.Only watch if you want to waste your time and money.

Splatter-tastic

andydeeley from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 13/02/2008

First a warning that this film can resemble a sensory deprivation technique. The battle scenes are extremely loud and vivid, the action and camerawork very fast-paced, though not quite to the point of Spun. The visual effects are quite stunning, expecially the close up fragmentation, puncturing and discombobulation due to various heavy ordnance.

Rambo has evolved from parts 2 and 3 to re-inforce the global message of fighting oppression, though this can seem a little like an Amnesty International advert, particularly duing the opening credits.

Plot-wise, you will be ahead of the game in 3 minutes, it only remains to pinpoint the minor characters who survive and those who do not.

85 minutes - 50% build up, 50% blow s**t up.

Good with beer.

The best Rambo sequel...

Ryan McAleer from Stotfold [Highly rated reviewer] , 11/02/2008

About 20 years after the previous installment, Rambo returns to take out the trash in Burma. Is this film any good?? Well... yes and no. The film works best as a straight forward, no-nonsense, action film with some of the most gory violence ever committed to film. However, this is also where the film shoots itself in the foot as it attempts to point out that 'violence is bad'. Rambo is a film where the good guys kick the bad guys' asses far worse than the bad guys ever did in the first place. It is best viewed as a mindless action film instead of the hard hitting, political drama that it wishes it was. Those expecting a dramatic counterpart to Rocky Balboa will be disappointed. Fans of the previous three Rambo films will delight.

A MAN OF WAR!

MAVERICK from Knottingley [Highly rated reviewer] , 25/02/2008

Stallone returned Rocky Balboa in 2007 to go out in a blaze of glory, and in doing so made the best film in the series.

But to return Rambo for a final outing would be more difficult, as the world is a very different place after 9/11. Also after the disaster that was Rambo III, did we need him?

The good news is Stallone as pulled off the almost impossible, This is a mean and raw action film, also is without a doubt the most grapic in it's violence. The plot is basic, but thats not what Rambo is about. The short running time means the films rattles along at a great speed.

The only down side of the film is the one dimentional bad guys, never do any have the class of Steven Berkoff in First Blood part II. But the film does highlight the on going troubles in Burma.

This film might not be as a triumphant a return as Rocky, but for final chapter in the Rambo Quadrilogy he has made this entry almost as good as the first.

A must see for any action fan.

Superb bloody entertainment!

Ram bones

A customer from Birmingham, England , 15/07/2008

What a load of rubbish. I like the original films but this to me seemed like a last ditch attempt from Stallone to be an action hero, i would say he's going through a mid-life crisis but he's far too old for that. There was far too much 'over the top' (no pun intended) violence and the story was non existent. I think Sly should retire now while he still has a shread of dignity remaining.

rambo (2007)

gaz115 from Stoke-On-Trent , 30/06/2008

Wasnt sure what to expect with this thought it would be another film gone to far, really enjoyed it good story and well acted. Thought the special effects were great really gory and relalistic . Would not like to be a soldier to see it first hand. Great film if you like rambo you have to see this one too.
