A pure bad-ass action movie brutal, violent realistic and powerful. Rambo IV aka Rambo (2008) come out 20 years later after Rambo III. Sly always wanted to make a new Rocky and Rambo movie and he did. I love this movie to death. I love this movie to death. It is Rated-R it is realistic action war movie the best Rambo movie in my opinion.

"Any of you boys want to shoot, now's the time. There isn't one of us that doesn't want to be someplace else. But this is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call."

Sylvester Stallone and Art Monterastelli wrote a beautiful script for the movie and it is the first and only Rambo movie Sylvester Stallone ever directed and that masterful, briliant and beautiful.

I know people are always saying this is the second best film in the Rambo franchise. I disagree In my opinion it is better than First Blood. It is even better action movie to me than Terminator 2: Judgment Day and yea that movie is overrated. Rambo (2008) is practical effect no CGI, I disagree that, they are CGI in here or people claiming it, is not correct in my opinion.

In Rambo III movie review I did not mention a lot of actors, only three because most of the actors in Rambo III are not memorable, but the action is just top notch in the third movie. In this movie we have Julie Benz excellent performance as Sarah Miller. Sly saw her acting performance in Dexter so he asked the actress, if she would love to appear in his movie and she did. The movie was about genocid and real war in Burma against Karen people and I read acctress Julie Benz decide to help poor people. I don't understand why this movie did not get an oscar? Why Sly did not get an oscar for this movie? Sylvester Stallone's best acting performance of all time I have ever seen. Graham McTavish as Lewis mercenary was a bad-ass soldier not the best like Rambo but really good, I love his lines. Matthew Marsden love him as School Boy. Those bad-ass soldiers as a rescue group a great to me. Reynaldo Gallegos as Diaz another mercenary was excellent to me. I love that these mercenaries call Rambo boat man I love that.

This movie is great to me, I love this movie dearly with my heart. Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III and Rambo (2008) are real action movies too me top notch. This is better than Terminator 2: Judgment Day, better than The Equalizer 1 and 2, First Blood and yes they are overrated movies they are not great. Rambo (2008) is MILES way better than director from First Blood Ted Kotcheff's Uncommon Valor (1983) I don't care what aynone says that's my opinion. Rambo in this movie is also searching for missionary's who are P.O.W in Burmese army camp. In my opinion it is better paced better rescue mission movie than Uncommon Valor is. I Love this movie with a passion I love it.

I love Rambo's choices of his weapons his using in here: Rambo uses a pistol Colt M1911A1 this is the first time in any Rambo movie I see Rambo using a gun. Just like in Rambo: First Blood Part II he was using shotgun for the first time ever. I love the scene where he uses his bow and arrow and (you see a soldier getting shot with an arrow in his face, my absolutely favorite scene.) In the fourth Rambo movie Rambo dosen't use C4 tip arrows I wish he would. I love Rambo with his machete in this movie, his knife now is a machate and you see a soldier's head off been cut by Rambo. Rambo using a machine gun Browning M2 Aircraft and blast soldiers to pices. This movie has tons of action.

This time the music score was used by Brian Tyler he did a perfect score to First Blood, I love his music tune score. Jerry Goldsmith past away in 2004 so he couldn't make a music score so what. Richard Crenna pased away in 2003 and he couldn't reprise his role as Sam Trautman back. So that is why they werent in this movie. So what. But Stallone uses a flashbacks about Rambo trilogy in the last scene you see in which Trautman fiers at Rambo with a gun. That was deleted scene from First Blood.

Rambo (2008) is my third favorite Rambo movie in the franchise and Rambo made a full circle in here because we see him walking back home in Bowie Arizona. I love this movie to death, it is my personal favorite action film of all time.

Take the first 20 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" - with soldiers limbs being shot off at the D-Day landing at Omaha Beach, add some magnificent jungle scenery and action a la "Tears Of The Sun, and put it all in " Blackhawk Down" mode with gunfire dominating the film....and you have the latest Rambo movie.

Hey, I knew it was going to be a tough, adventure story but this was a shock. I've never seen so many heads blown off, limbs blasted away with blood spurting out and holes blasted in the middle of chests and stomachs in one movie in my life.....and it's only 81 minutes long! (The last dozen minutes are ending credits.) Man, this is almost non-stop action and suspense/ Yeah, a bunch of it is overdone but overall, it still was an entertaining movie.

I know it sounds like some dumb Texas Chainsaw Massacre-type thing, but it wasn't despite the mayhem. There actually was a small story with a decent message about making your life stand for something. "Rambo Gets A Conscience" could be another title to this movie.

However, if you are the least bit squeamish about bloody violence, you better skip this movie. If you enjoy a good action movie and don't care if it gets a little gross in spots, this is your cup of tea......in spades. If you have any hostility in you, after 80 minutes of watching this, it should be gone.

After an absence of 20 years, Sylvester Stallone's "John Rambo" comes back to the screen. Rambo is the kind of guy you don't want on your college debate team but he's a number one draft choice on the field of battle. He's a man of few words and a lot of testosterone. With veins popping out of his arms like a 25-year-old bodybuilder, Stallone looks more juiced than Barry Bonds but at least it makes him look the part, even if he does have bags under his eyes. I liked Stallone's comeback in the recent "Rocky Balboa" better, but this was still an entertaining flick.

The middle-aged John Rambo was more realistic than the male missionary, "Michael Burnett," who was a bit obnoxious for who he was playing. I've met a number of missionaries and none of them act or sound like this guy, but that's the film world for you. The guy with the Australian accent who was the "leaders" of the mercenary group was a bit over-the-top and cartoon-like with the profanity. With him, and the Burmese rebel leader, you had no probably identifying who the a-holes were in this movie, and who were the good guys. They weren't too subtle about that. Then again, the action scenes weren't too subtle, either - but it was entertaining, in a sick sort of way.

One last thing that everyone should agree with: this was nicely filmed, with fantastic jungle scenery. Kudos for cinematographer Glen MacPherson and director Stallone for some incredible shots. I cannot imagine how good this must look on a high-definition disc.
