DVD Reviews of Rambo (Special Edition + Digital Copy)
DVD Review: Rambo
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was a good ending to the Rambo series, although at the end I would have preferred to see his family welcome him home, all in all it was good. I'm also glad that this movie brought to light of the atrocities in our third world countries. Many times we don't hear of these. I would recommend this to those who love hardcore action movies. My husband and I enjoyed this movie.DVD Review: rambo
Summary: 1 Stars
i have to say that this film did more in picturing realistic slaughter, than any of the current news links. that said, the film tends to reinforce old stereotypes of noble westerners trying to save the helpless, godless heathens, who lack basic humanity and civilization. the movie also shows the old image of a perverted asian male who lusts after the blond,unattainable white woman. but no need to fear...rambo rescues her before she's dishonored. just as our cavalery once did for american indian-captured white women in the old west. in view of today's globalism and the closeness of other cultures through the travel, media, and immigration, these are dangerous ideas to perpetuate.DVD Review: Dreadful action flick
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
DVD Review: loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
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....DVD Review: So Awesome, I'd Like Another Please
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Description of Rambo (Special Edition + Digital Copy)
When a group of missionary aid workers in myanmar disappear into the vast green inferno vigilante vietnam veteran john rambo leaves his job as a salween river boatman behind to accompany a group of mercenaries on a daring rescue mission. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 05/27/2008 Starring: Sylvester Stallone Paul Schulze Run time: 93 minutes Rating: RIf 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.
