WHAT THE CRITICS SAY (WHICH I AM USUALLY 60% WITH)

Quote by untitled critic and then my "Truth-O-Meter" in which how much I agree with them :

"Stallone's previous film, Rocky Balboa (2006), was a highly personal and surprisingly touching film. But Rambo shows no such justification for its existence." [True, but Rocky vs. Rambo is not a fair comparison]
"The problem is, even as mindless violence, the movie fails." [A big statement, but the film does not entirely fail]

"None of this is beyond what you'd expect -- or fear -- from a Rambo movie. What is inexcusable is the moral self-congratulation the movie trades on, attaching itself to the plight of the Burmese people." [True, the violence and the film trying to showcase the burden of the people of Burma, I dislike]

"the action here is repetitive, derivative, and clunky. Then there's the subtext, which embodies enough jingoistic Imperialism to make Kipling puff up his chest with pride" [Laughing out loud, its like a video game, true, true...]

"Never, not even in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, has Hollywood depicted Asians with more prejudice. To what end?" [Agreed. The depiction of Asians is SO over (or under?)


"So they send in the devil to do God's work," says a hulking Australian mercenary, part of the rescue attempt. "It's ironic, isn't it?" Highly ironic. The implications of that irony are not explored in the movie. [The irony is where Rambo comes guns ablazing, mindlessly... true]

"Fans of the first three Rambo movies will likely love it, as will fans of irony, absurdity and unintentional comedy" [Agree...agree...]

"The original Rambo movie was actually titled First Blood...This one should be called Entirely Too Much Blood." [The violence in this film is OVER THE TOP. Oops, did I just yell?]

"Stays on the verge of being a rousing dumbass flick at all times -- you've never seen so many mid-air organs -- yet its combination of outrageous bodily trauma and beagle-eyed moments of reflection never quite makes it go over the top." [Disagree. It may be dumb, shoot and kill, but it DOES go over the top]

At least it was done "comic book style" and "with surealism"...

Rambo IV is like..

DIE DIE DIE !!!

KILL KILL KILL !!!

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD !!!

If it had half a decent story-line, at least something. I felt something special in Rocky Balboa, but Rambo IV is just ridiculous... one of the worst films ever....
