I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Rambo (2008) the fourth film in the franchise is the ultimate action film from 2008 it is a bad-ass action film since Rambo III (1988) 20 years come out. It was a huge improvement over Rambo 3. I love this film to death most of the action films are not that gory like this movie. It fast paced, it goes quickly around and Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo and he reloads his famous character, he portrays John Rambo well. This is my comic book hero yes John Rambo is my ultimate action hero of all time. I am a HUGE John Rambo fan and this is my second favorite film series and my number 1 action movies in the action genre. The first franchise is Friday the 13th movies and Rambo are my favorite absolutely franchise. I am glad Stallone made the fourth film and now Sly wants to make Rambo V and his 70 years old how will that work. Stallone throw that idea years ago because he was un happy. Rambo the fourth film in my opinion made a full circle and he close the character well. We don't need another sequel and Rambo V will be awful leave our character alone Stallone. John Rambo movies are so action packed and stuffed with violence, that no man who values his testosterone should miss them. I only have to say that there is so much intense violence and gore that little children should steer clear and teenagers should persist their parents to see this movie. Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo, the former Green Beret and Vietnam veteran who in present day works as a boat captain in Southeast Asia and takes a job transporting missionaries on a medical aid mission. When the missionaries are captured by Burmese Junta soldiers, Rambo joins a group of mercenaries on a rescue mission. This is Stallone's only movie he written and directed him self. The action is gory and bloody that I love it. Rambo is using a Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun. Rambo uses the M2 to obliterate the driver and than he kills all the soldiers while he is reloading the machine gun M2 - .50cal BMG and he kills all the soldiers that scene kicks ass. You have a lot of fire power in here and I love the rescue mission in here. This is a bad-ass kick-ass film! I love Rambo's Mini Machete he uses in this movie. He chops people's heads off, he sets mines against Burmese soldiers.I also like some of the characters in this movie: Julie Benz as Sarah, Graham McTavish as Lewis I love his character to death. Matthew Marsden as School Boy those three characters are memorable to me. I don't like the extended version because it is different from the theatrical cut and Rambo and I don't like his character in the extended cut that is why Stallone release this version theatrical cut. Richard Crenna and Jerry Goldsmith did not return for the fourth film, because they both past away and are no longer with us anymore. Brian Tyler did a music score for the film and in my opinion did a good music score for the film like Jerry Goldsmith did for the first three film. In my opinion Brian Tyler's score is great for the film. 10/10 Rambo the final fourth film was one of the best action films of all time, my favorite film heroes don't get old they just reload. My third favorite action film of all time.

Movie Review: "Rambo" (2007)Slightly delayed in exhibition efforts for a preliminary release in holiday season 2007/2008, Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone directs himself reprising the legendary U.S. military drop-out "John Rambo" to the heart in balance-seeking beginnings in small village by the river in Thailand after years of mercenaries war-zone labor reaching from being hunted in his homeland "First Blood" (1982) to a devastating traumatizing mission of reentering Vietnam in "Part II" (1985) and further far-regions of slave-like states of mine labor toward rescuing his sole friend in life, U.S. military black-op mission granting Colonel Trautman from the clutches of invading Russian forces in Afghanistan in 1988, when Rambo must one more time indulge into mass-killings beyond ultra-violent proportions executed with live-action gun-shells, bow & arrow, grenades and machine-guns to rescue a Christian activist group, entering a war-zone with pink-eyed wish to bring meaning and change a world gone havoc.Director Sylvester Stallone, who had also been co-written the screenplay with Art Monterastelli that wants to be nothing more than full-bodied, honesty-seeking war-action-thriller entertainment with sharing personal thoughts on hidden conflicts raging around the globe; here the for five decades struggling state of Burma, now the official republic of Myanmar, building a government apart from a Military state ruling from 1962 to 2011 in which this motion picture is set with pitch-striking 85-Minute-cut by editor Sean Albertson, who despite fairly-covered angles of cinematography in fast-paced close-to-action shots, bringing a transforming character of John Rambo, who becomes the war machine in every spectator mind to push war-action to final extremes with combining live-action ultra-violence with digital polishing works, when this re-interpretation of what war injects into a man's spirit turn into a beating heart, which lies under a wall of memories to cope with, while life spins on to fulfillment.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend

Rambo (2008) is essential best action film in the action genre my second personal favorite film in the Rambo franchise. I love this film to death! Rambo is a fighting machine and I absolutely love the gory action films. This is movie is great it is absolutely awesome I love this film to death. It is the best film, since Rambo III wasn't that successful, this movie was. It is been nearly a 10 year anniversary since this movie come out. Here is where the legend of action heroes reloaded and ended well. They would've raped her fifty times... and cut your f*****g heads off! Who are you? Who are any of you? My number one favorite action film is Rambo: First Blood Part II, this my second favorite action film from Sylvester Stallone. First Blood is number 3 favorite action film in the series. John Rambo is my comic book hero. I love the fourth installment of Rambo to death. I know there is a lot of people who hate this film and prefer Rambo III over this film and think it is not a good movie. I disagree It is not your typical action movie because it is way too gory and bloody mine it is. I love Rambo's Mini Machete he uses in this movie. This is Sylvester Stallone's only movie he wrote and directed by him self. The action is gory and bloody that I love it. The movie has ton's of action and it is realistic performed. I love the rescue mission. I love that Rambo chops a Burmese soldier's head off with his machete. Rambo put's a mine in the forest and kill's 20 Burmese soldiers. Rambo is using a Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun. Rambo uses the M2 to obliterate the driver and than he kills all the soldiers while he is reloading the machine gun M2 - .50cal BMG and than he kills the rest of the soldiers those were the kicks ass action sequences. You have a lot of fire power in here and I love the rescue mission in here. This is a bad-ass kick-ass film!Sylvester Stallone portrayed and acted well his famous character and so did Graham McTavish as Lewis a mercenary, Matthew Marsden as School Boy, Reynaldo Gallegos as Diaz and Julie Benz as Sarah I like these characters and they did their acting well done. Sylvester Stallone directed this movie and to me it is really powerful realistic well action performed. I don't agree with you haters, I think this movie is better than Commando (1985) Schwarzenegger film! Rambo puts most of action films today to shame. That's my personal opinion. Music score from Brian Tyler wasn't that terrible like everyone is saying it was arguably good to the Rambo character. Richard Crenna and Jerry Goldsmith couldn't come back because they both past away and are no longer with us anymore. R.I.P. I think Brian Tyler did a good score. P.S. I don't like the extended version because it is different from the theatrical cut and Rambo looks like an asshole in the beginning of the movie. I love theatrical cut and honestly it goes fast around it is not boring it is entertainment It is one of my personal favorite action movies. This movie is a perfect 10 for me.

After nearly 20 Rambo-less years (1988-2007), I was a bit skeptical about what to expect from this film. Sylvester Stallone seemed a bit old to be playing the lead role, and the character had been "on the shelf" for so long that his viability in American culture was very much in doubt. Fortunately, though the writers/producers didn't get everything right, they pleasantly surprised me by providing a film that is quite enjoyable and worthy of the Rambo title.For a basic plot summary, this film explores a much darker side of the John Rambo (Stallone) character. Found in the deepest regions of Indo-China, an emotionally lost and severely conflicted Rambo reluctantly agrees safe passage to a group of missionaries bringing supplies to the war-ravaged region of Burma. When the peace mission goes awry and the mercenaries are called in, Rambo feels compelled to once again enter the war zone he has tried for so long to avoid.Really, the only glaring problem with this film is that the plot is very predictable. You know that things will get screwed up somehow and that Rambo will be called in to fix the situation, so some of the Burmese-territory exposition is a little tedious. If you can get past this, though, it truly is an entertaining film.The aspect that stands out the most is the brutalness of the entire picture. What the film loses in predictability it makes up for with some brutal scenes that will really make you despise the Burmese war force. The slaughter of women, children, animals, and the complete burning of villages are shown with no detail spared. Plus, it isn't as if the brutality is just being played for bloody special effects, either. Stallone did his research this time and tried to replicate the shock value of civil warfare/genocide, and the result are some very shocking scenes.What really sets this movie apart, though, is its focus on the John Rambo character. Whereas parts II & III of the series were just shoot-em-ups, this installment actually tries (like the original) to delve into what makes Rambo tick. In fact, a lot more time (the film is only 91 minutes long) could have been devoted to the inner-workings of the Vietnam Vet and it wouldn't have been boring.Thus, if you are at all skeptical about coming back to the Rambo franchise after such a long layoff, please dispel those notions and see this movie. It is easily the best effort in the franchise since the original First Blood.
