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.

 Awesome, Best Yet March 13, 2010

This movie was just great. One of my favorites, and I didn't like any of the other Rambo movies. There is meaning behind this one. Anti-christian I thought which was fine with me. Yeah Rambo can't be killed, but he's Rambo. Probably the most violent movie I've ever seen (it makes the Texas chainsaw massacre look like those old movies where they would pretend to be stabbed by putting the sword under their arms) and it starts off with what I think is actual footage of beheaded bodies, and corpses and stuff. Basically a group of christians get knocked off their high horses by a big dose of reality. They go off getting into to things they have nothing to do with and get kidnapped by some tough customers. The leader of their church hires some mercinaries (funny I thought) to save them. Anyway it's up to Rambo and to a lesser extent the mercinaries to save the do-gooders. Plenty of gore and cool lines from Rambo. I don't want to ruin it, but there were certain ones who survived, who I would really have liked to have been tortured to death.
But the meaning behind it, is these christians eyes are opened to how the world really is. The moral of the story: it's survival of the fittest, and the world is always as it should be. So mind your own damned business and worry about yourself.
And from what I hear the next rambo will be even better. He will be going to Mexico lol. Let's see how many people we can offend with this one. We need more movies like this, I am so sick of all this liberal trash coming out of Hollywood.

I have all of the Rambo series and I have to say this last one is the best. Heard Sly was going to make a part five next year. Can't wait.

Okay, okay -- the script is mediocre and the acting is mediocre and Stallone is on steroids -- but I'll be damned, it is entertaining.
Stallone is the coolest February 7, 2010

This is the best Rambo since the original "First Blood". As for this DVD, it's a 2-disc edition, though the second disc is just a digital copy, which I'm sure most people use as a coaster. The first disc has all the special features that the 1-disc version doesn't have, though as I'm lead to believe, there is a 1-disc version out there that has all the features of this 2-disc edition and that one is in a regular keep case as compared to this 2-disc which comes in a custom case, whereas that special 1-disc edition is only lacking this useless digital copy. So for collectors who can't seek out that special 1-disc edition, you can settle for this 2-disc edition and you'll be just as happy.
