Amazon.co.uk review
pIf you've been wondering what ever happened to ex?Green Beret super warrior John Rambo since he singlehandedly shot up a Pacific Northwest town (iFirst Blood/i, 1982), returned to the jungles of 'Nam to free U.S. POWs held long after war's end (iRambo: First Blood Part II/i, 1985), and interrupted the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan long enough to blow lots of stuff up and rescue his old commandant from the Reds (iRambo III/i, 1988), then iRambo (2008)/i is for you. Without so much as a IV to dilute the brand name, iRambo/i --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 re-animate 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 (iDexter's/i 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./p pAs 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. i--Richard T. Jameson/i/p

 GROTESQUE VIOLENCE - A BLOODBATH EXCUSE OF A MOVIE December 29, 2008
I am amazed at the support for this movie, and can only assume it's testosterone fuelled young men, as for me RAMBO is disappointing. The movie tries to close the circle on John Rambo, and close the legacy of the Rambo series. With Rocky it worked but here it doesn't.br /br /Why? well because the film is just an excuse to show unbelievable violence and have a blast through a machine gun bursting heads and limbs in every direction. Most Directors stop short of showing violence to children, but Stallone doesn't hold back here - it's quite shocking in parts. br /br /The plot is simple, missionary do gooders get caught up by rebels and a corrupt armys in the Thai outback and are victims of genicide and brutual rape and murder. Step in Rambo to save the day. Hhe doesn't say much, growls a lot and then just shoots the hell out of everybody. That's it really. Very little build up to the attacks, strategies, tension - nothing.br /br /In the end he is the good guy saves the lady, and then poignantly returns to US (played to the original soundtrack)and closes the door on rambo for good. br /br /The movie could have been much more deeper than this. On the plus side the direction is excellent, plenty of action, explosions etc but left me feeling was that it?
 political activism at its best November 18, 2008
Of course it's a silly 'superman' gets the bad guys film... but at least it should put pressure on one of the worse regimes on the planet. Google burmacampaign and be a bit of a rambo yourself
Unflinchingly violent...and better than you think... November 3, 2008

Rambo literately explodes onto your screen, with body parts flying in all directions and leaving bloody smears all over your TV screen.br /br /Oh, be certain of one thing... Rambo is NOT for the faint hearted.br /br /Unflinchingly violent, and boasting one of the biggest body counts in cinematic history (aparently beating Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commando) this is an extremely violent film from the outset.br /br /The story - if anyone is interested - runs thus. John Rambo is living out a nice, peaceful existence in Thailand, when he is approached by aid workers, who want to get upriver into Burma to offer support an aid to a region ravaged by war and genocide.br /br /Rambo is unhelpful at first, believing that whatever these people do, they can't make a difference, but eventually (and predictably) he changes his mind, dropping off the aid workers.br /br /Weeks later, he is alerted to the fact that the aid workers have failed to return. Rambo joins forces with a group of mercenaries to rescue the aid workers, and perhaps along the way, rid Burma of an unwanted genocidal tyrant.br /br /As mentioned, this film really is violent, more so than any film before it. There are some incredibly brutal scenes here, so those with weak stomachs, or easily upset might not enjoy this film, as it really hammers its message home in a way that is, quite frankly - disturbing. One scene in particular, showing the awful way a whole village - including babies is massacred is probably the most upsetting. This isn't a gung ho, Commando style action film, but feels bone shudderingly realistic, and when Rambo finally does meet out some much needed retribution, it really is thoroughly warranted.br /br /Yep, Stallone's aged - but still - somehow - manages to pull it off. Apparently, another one is on the cards - but somehow, I think it has to stop here.br /br /In summary, a very violent film, worth watching if you're a Rambo fan - but certainly not for the faint hearted.br /
Rambo rocks !!!! October 29, 2008
i got this a week or so ago. Its totally fantastic what a cool guy rambo is. I havent seen the previous 3 Rambo films it just wasnt my thing years ago , so really had no idea what it was about i just knew there was big hype when this film was released. Its a complete eyeopener as it is a fictional story based on real events in burma( totally horrific things taking place ) . anyway i now want the other rambo films i just wish i had bought the complete box set !!! Rambo Rocks !!!
Blood Bath. October 12, 2008
I drew some irony from negative comparisons of Rambo(2008) and the 'classic' source material. Devoid of characterisation and meaningful dialogue this effort sits well with the rest of the franchise.br /Irritatingly I prefered the dialogue sequences in the deleted scenes. That aside, this movie stands up well to scutiny. The photography very effective, the action unashamedly brutal(you have been warned) and ultimately ticking all the intended boxes. Particulaly the box office box. Dont watch while eating.
