film: Rambo 4

July 15 2008 | WilHarris

Sly Stallone is back with an ultra-violent sequel to the movies that made his name.

Rambo 4 takes the eponymous hero to Burma to deal with the bad guys in his usual fashion. Watching this movie is not for the feint-hearted, as Justin finds out… Watch the video for his explosive verdict. As well as our neato special effects, obviously.

Terrible storey and dialogue aside, I felt the mindless violence was enough to carry this move and I actually enjoyed it. Don’t think it would be a movie i would go out of my way to see again though…

2 stars? Are you mad? The bow attack scene alone is worth an extra star. This isn’t Shakespeare so my expectations were as follows:

Blood and guts? Check
Pigs eating feet? Check
One syllable dialog from Rambo? Check

I really enjoyed Rambo but because i knew it was going to be brainless and totally over the top I went in with the same expectation as I would have if I were going to see a flic like Planet Terror.

It was ludicrously violent and morally all over the place but to the extent that it became almost spoof like.

3/5 from me

BTW I hear there might now be another film set in the US which could be good. I would love it to be pretty much a remake of First Blood only with the books ending not the one the film used.

Sarcasm, wit, special effects and cheap chocolate, you’ve breathed life into a piece of cinematic crap. This review will make the rounds of the web (I’m passing it on), keep up the good work.
