Me and three friends went to see this movie and there were some really good “oh S***” Moments considering we have watched many Action movies it is hard to believe we all gave it a thumbs up. This is one bad mutha of a Action movie!!!

Yes the killing of the innocent people was sad but the bad guys at least in the movie get what they really deserve

I live in a neighborhood with over 50 Karen (pronounced Kah-Rehn, not like the name Karen as depicted in the movie) refugees and saw this movie with three of them. They came to see the Burmese army get mowed down. They said afterwards that they used to talk as kids about how they wanted Rambo to go into Burma and stop the fighting.

Awesome movie. And great article, Empress Eve.

I saw Rambo at the first showing on the first day and I regret not one cent of the price I paid. While watching it occurred to me that if anything works against the movie, it’s the Burmese angle. Not because the story isn’t worth telling, not because the travesties committed by the government there are excusable in any way, but because it’s a bunch of brown people dying, and if there’s one thing America is good at, it’s ignoring the deaths of brown people.

Make a movie with precisely the same content as Rambo, extreme violence and all, but make the villains Third Reich Germans and the victims white Europeans and there wouldn’t be a bank vault in the world big enough to hold all the money it would make. Americans can’t even bring themselves to care much about their own brown people: we have a museum devoted to the Shoah just yards off the Mall in Washington, DC, but the National Museum of the American Indian barely mentions genocide (and never actually calls it that), while the United States National Slavery Museum has been banished to Virginia where almost no one will visit. Good work.

I don’t feel this is an example of endemic racism or some such nonsense because this apathy is shared by Americans of all hues. We only seem to get exercised by people we can almost think are us; people who live in huts don’t qualify. Clearly many reviewers, some of which you quote, must be outrageously callous to react the way they have to what occurs onscreen.

Rambo VS Conan ?? anyone?? anyone?

Conan will get owned. Rambo is ruff and tuff.
Conan is soft and flabby and will get man handled.

A lot of people missed the real point to the horrible things that are going on in Burma which clearly is pointed out in the movie. Actually the first scenes depict that quite well. I guess people are to dumb to figure that out on there own. Stallone clearly wanted to make Burma known to the public for the atrocities that are being inflicted on innocent human lives every day. Do some research on Burma and you will find more graphic and horrifying things that are being done in real life. Rambo wasn’t a joke nor was it meant for people to laugh at. This was meant to wake people up in hopes that something would be done to save innocent lives from rape, torture, slavery and death. I guess we as human beings have no compassion for the oppressed. I guess we should have let HITLER kill all the Jews.

If I was a good writer this would have been word for word the same post I would have composed about Rambo. Thank you so much for this perfect review of the movie.

I agree that the soldier shot by schoolboy will not fly backward no matter what calibre of ammo was used. Mythbuster had busted that myth awhile back and they used huge rounds and even shot at a dummy with a metal plate on. Yet the dummy they shot at didn’t manage to fly back at all.
