DVD Reviews of Rambo [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Absolutely Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars

This film was so much better than I expected it to be. It was loaded with violence, but was graphic to get a point across and to show the atrocities that occur against people who were unfortunate enough to be born in unstable third world countries that are dominated by rebels and ruthless warlords. The first hour of the movie is particularly painful to watch, with some of the innocent villagers being subjected to unimaginable torture and brutality. That only serves to make it that much more gratifying to watch Rambo exact ferocious, deadly justice on them. Bring it he does, and fans of both the 1980's Rambo films and today's action movies featuring extreme violence (Sin City, Running Scared) will have to smile when the final action scene concludes. It may be unrealistic, but will leave you in awe. You will get up after the movie and want to go kick someone's butt; the adrenaline pumping final showdown is that intense. Do not let the kids watch!

DVD Review: racism, hypocritical and self-righteous
Summary: 2 Stars

This is a terrible show and does not deserve more than 2 stars.

The plot is awfully simple: a bunch of self-righteous white guys went to save war ridden little Asia. Of course, they got caught up in the war and Rambo came to rescue with bunch of self-righteous white mercs. Hmm, if you are god-believing church person coming for "humanitarian" work, why did you hire bunch of mercs to do the killing? Why not let God take care of the humanitarian's fate? How hypocritical!

Of course, the evil Asian guy must not rape the poor white girl until Rambo stood behind him. Give me freaking break!

There's no character building, no plot, no interaction/connection between characters, nothing but people being blown into pieces.

DVD Review: This one of the best !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is Rambo at his finest ! The commentary track is great and the mini documentaries are fantastic . This the Ultimate Rambo movie and dvd release and Sly did a fine job directing this masterpiece of blood and honor !

DVD Review: Rambo
Summary: 3 Stars

Very bloody movie. It is what you would expect from a Rambo movie. The story was pretty good though. I would think this is Sly's last attempt at Rambo..

DVD Review: Awesome movie - hohum quality
Summary: 4 Stars

I love this movie. During a time when Hollywood's A list actors would rather make pinko political statements, Stallone blesses us with a movie that's more than a mere throwback to 80's style action. Rambo is a statement that half our country has failed to realize ... there are people out there who do not respond to negotiation and appeasement. There is a time when a man must take matters into his own hands and kill to protect himself and the innocent. Duh!

This was my first blu ray purchase that I watched from my PS3 on my 1080p 47 " LCD TV. The added level of detail is noticeable, especially the distant shots where people's faces are normally blurry. However, this particular movie has too much variation in film grain from shot to shot that can be distracting.

Description of Rambo [Blu-ray]

The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by missionaries to protect them during a humanitarian aid effort on behalf of the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After the missionaries are taken prisoner by Burmese soldiers Rambo gets a second impossible job: rescue the missionaries in the midst of a civil war.System Requirements:Running Time: 93 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/HEROES Rating: R UPC: 031398232995 Manufacturer No: 23299

If you've been wondering what ever happened to ex-Green Beret superwarrior John Rambo since he singlehandedly shot up a Pacific Northwest town (First Blood, 1982), returned to the jungles of 'Nam to free U.S. POWs held long after war's end (Rambo: First Blood Part II, 1985), and interrupted the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan long enough to blow lots of stuff up and rescue his old commandant from the Reds (Rambo III, 1988), then Rambo (2008) is for you. Without so much as a IV to dilute the brand name, Rambo--which is what most of us called the second, most iconic film in the series--may aspire to open a new era for a pop legend. But it's a thoroughly mechanical attempt to reanimate a franchise that, absent the anger, frustration, and self-loathing of the post-Vietnam years, has no meaning or purpose. For some time now Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has been putt-putting along the Thai-Burmese border in a longboat, catching exotic snakes to sell. As for the 60-year civil war in Burma between the brutal government and the Karen independence movement, he ignores it. Enter a party of American missionaries whose dewy blond spokeswoman (Dexter's Julie Benz) asks Rambo to haul them upriver so that they can bring medical aid to the insurgents. After the requisite number of monosyllabic refusals, he does. Soon afterward the do-gooders are in a world of hurt, and he's summoned to lead a squad of mercenaries on a rescue mission.

As storytelling, the latest Rambo is the most bare-bones of the bunch. Rambo has little to say, so it's especially galling that Stallone, as director and co-writer, obliges him to have essentially the same conversation at three different points (the final distillation: "Live for nothing or die for something"). The Burmese army goons seem in competition to commit the most hideous atrocity (e.g., child skull-crushing underfoot), the better to justify the eventual, lovingly protracted spectacle of them being eviscerated by high-powered weaponry. Although shot in Thailand, the movie has mostly been photographed in brown, reducing any particular sense of place but, perhaps, perversely increasing our gratitude for the splashes of purple whenever hot metal tatters flesh. --Richard T.
