Went and saw the newest Rambo movie yesterday. Have to say, I really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of the series and loved the first three.
This one does give the series good closure. While it has a sad feeling to it, as Rambo no longer cares about his friends, his country, or the world for that matter, it still is a very watchable movie. It doesn't have the 'storm trooper' effect nearly as much as the previous titles. The storm trooper effect comes from the Star Wars series' where basically, the bad guys have miserable accuracy and the heroes will never miss. That was definately the case in the previous two Rambo titles.
Sylvester Stallone does a brilliant job as Rambo, even 20 years after the last title. Some could classify it as mindless action, as it has broken the record of Rambo 3 with the highest visible body count in a film (236 deaths). The movie does have a deeper meaning as it tells the story of a true Civil War happening in the southeast of Asia where a Genocide is happening. It is not for the clean hearted as the blood and gruesome deaths are plenty.
Definately a watch for any action movie fan or anybody who has seen the previous Rambo's.
