"A Great Action Movie", Things have changed a lot since the first Rambo movie. Most war movies and other violent movies have increased the amount of violence and the depiction of violence. The reality of war is that it is violent and bloody. The ever improving special effects have allowed this kind of reality to come into our theaters and homes with gruesome severity. I guess some people expect to see a Mary Poppins solution to all the worlds problems. So, it's true that this movie has a lot of violence in it, but how else would you deal with scum like the dictators of Burma. Actually, there should have been a lot more violence since that is the only thing those low-life slime understand.

The movie was very well done, had good acting, and all the rest. I enjoyed it, and had a good time watching Stallone bring back Rambo once more. Maybe he'll bring him back again. If so, I will go and watch the next Rambo movie. It's a great action movie, and Stallone did a great job.

"another 'sly' movie", Typical sly action movie. Quite funny the way rambo tries to be all philosophical. No great message no great action. Rambo as usual kills hundreds single handedly. If you have couple of hours to kill and nothing else is on tv, rent it.

"Excellent example of HiDef and DTS-HDMaster", I just made the foray into BluRay since HD-DVD has gone defunct by purchasing the Panasonic DMP-BD55K 1080p Blu-Ray Player here on Amazon. I waited for this player because my surround sound processor has 7.1 inputs but pre-dates HDMI signal transfer and I wanted to have the newest HiRez audio formats. I run HDMI directly into my projector for HD video. This one of the first BluRay movies I have watched and the first with DTS-HDMaster sound. My review will be brief and will focus on the audio/visual quality and special effects as there are other reviews here that accurately describe the story.

The main menu allows you to choose DTS-HD Master and actually defaulted to it in my case. The audio palette and soundstage was outstanding and among the very best special effects demonstrations available. For shoot-em-up movies I don't pretend to think that there is a whole lot of difference between the various DTS and Dolby Digital variants out there because of the artificially created soundtracks of movies. All of them go bang, send bullets flying all around you and with a proper subwoofer component whack you in the chest with each explosion, etc. Although the DTS DVD of Saving Private Ryan is still my favorite for gunfire, the mass of content of action in this movie displays excellent imaging of bullets and augments the realism of all the other film audio goodies such as nightsounds, boat engines, dialogue, etc. Unfortunately the public may never appreciate the true beauty of the high res audio formats which is in recorded music because the masses are more interested in down res compression instead of high resolution quality.

The video on this disc is spectacular. The cinematography is actually quite stunning for an action movie. The three dimensional depth, brilliant color, and image quality is outstanding and is of demonstration quality and equals any I've seen in the theaters or from my HD-DVD collection. If it were not for the graphic trauma on the human body from bullets, blades, fire, and ordnance exploding (which granted is sometimes exaggerated here for effect), you could showcase your 1080p video setup with this film proudly.

You want to see a reasonable facsimile of what a 50 caliber round would do to a person? watch this film. Likewise, I've never seen anything quite so realistic when a guys appendage is forcefully blown off or throat is cut on film. You want to evoke whatever emotion you feel when innocents are sent into a rice paddy with land mines for "sport" or executed via automatic rifles all in Hi Definition grandeur, then this film is for you.

So, for what this film does, which is shock and awe, both for better and for worse considering the reality that is behind the plot, this truly is a great film to to feature the best of what Hi Definition and High Resolution discs are capable of today.

"Rambo", I thought this was a good ending to the Rambo series, although at the end I would have preferred to see his family welcome him home, all in all it was good. I'm also glad that this movie brought to light of the atrocities in our third world countries. Many times we don't hear of these. I would recommend this to those who love hardcore action movies. My husband and I enjoyed this movie.

"rambo", i have to say that this film did more in picturing realistic slaughter, than any of the current news links. that said, the film tends to reinforce old stereotypes of noble westerners trying to save the helpless, godless heathens, who lack basic humanity and civilization. the movie also shows the old image of a perverted asian male who lusts after the blond,unattainable white woman. but no need to fear...rambo rescues her before she's dishonored. just as our cavalery once did for american indian-captured white women in the old west. in view of today's globalism and the closeness of other cultures through the travel, media, and immigration, these are dangerous ideas to perpetuate.

"A Truly Great War Film", It is nothing short of astounding to me how many people (exception: ) seem to just not get this movie. To me, this is a very fine war picture.

In a misguided attempt to be witty, there are those who are saying that the film's body count should be compared to the number of words spoken onscreen, to see which is higher.

One must realize that David Morrell, the original author of "First Blood", and Stallone, who co-authored the original film's screenplay, and is a co-author of the "Rambo" screenplay, both envision and present John Rambo as a man who is profoundly introverted. Stallone has, at least partially, based his writing and protrayal of this character on his son Seargeoh, who is profoundly autistic. Stallone has stayed true to this portrayal, critics be damned. John Rambo shows little of his emotional and psychological identity to the outside world, and only slightly more to those few whom he considers to be his friends. Col. Trautman saw a side to "Johnny" that few others do. Sarah, a Christian Missionary in this latest installment, is only one of a few characters in the series to be distinguished as being someone John Rambo considers to be his friend.

Also present here is implication is that this is just a bloodfest for sick voyeurs who like to watch people suffering and dying.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Although this is, indeed, a profoundly violent film, that barely escaped an NC-17 rating, one thing must be made clear: THIS FILM DOES NOT GLORIFY VIOLENCE.

A Vietnam veteran once said to me, "The only thing that will prepare you for battle is to be in one. There is nothing that can truly prepare you for what war is really like. Nothing." Having written that, I cannot now tell you that seeing films like "Saving Private Ryan" with it's ultra-high body count will put you on a level of first-hand knowledge comparable to a combat veteran. No one has ever suggested such a thing, not should they. However, many veterans of the D-Day invasion had to leave the theatre during the scenes of storming the beach at Normandy. This tells me that Spielberg got it right, and his film will stand for decades as the best possible cinematic telling of what that day was like.

Stallone is doing something similar here. This film presents war at its most horrific. This film is quite dissimilar to "Saving Private Ryan" in that the storyline in "SPR" was an archplot. In other words, an epic, something Joseph Campbell of THE MONOMYTH fame would identify as a story that transcends cultures, identities and contexts. The mission that leads to the finding of Private Ryan reveals much about the nature of war and those that fight it, and in so doing much about the human condition is brought to light. Specifically, humanity fighting tooth-and-nail for survival against a culture that has been corrupted to the point of profound evil.

This installment of Rambo is distinct from this monomyth, archplot structure. This is by no means an epic. Stallone shows us one of his most famous characters, living by himself in Thailand, making a living selling snakes and piloting a boat on the Salween river. He is approached by a group of Christian missionaries intent on bringing medical and other humanitarian supplies to the Karen people of Myanmar (referred to as Burma in the film). Rambo initially refuses, making no emotional connection with Michael, a Christian doctor imploring Rambo to assist him in his cause. The missionaries' sole female, Sarah, then attempts to convince Rambo to help. It is obvious that an immediate emotional connection is made.

What is interesting here is that the missionaries are scripted by Stallone to sound exactly as they do in real life: profoundly idealistic, convinced that they alone understand how to change the world better than anybody else ever could, and absolutely unwilling to listen to reason (these aren't presented as negative traits per se, but rather as their mentality, for better or for worse). Stallone's Rambo is usually a man of few words, but he uses his economy of dialog to make his points quite clear. He has no interest in debate. He asks Michael, who has declared that he means to change things in Burma, if he's planning on bringing any weapons.

"Of course not," Michael responds, clearly contemptuous, not of Rambo, but of the idea of taking weapons to try to stop Burma's endless violence.

"Then you ain't changin' nothin'", is Rambo's response, spoken in an overtone of absolute finality, and with an undertone of the despair John Rambo's experience has bequealthed upon him, that further debate is clearly pointless. (In case you missed it, Stallone-hating reviewers, Sly is doing something called "acting". You wouldn't understand.)

A few scenes later, Sarah manages to convince Rambo to help the missionaries. Although payment is offered, Rambo refuses it. Rambo and the missionaries begin their journey up the Salween river. When Sarah begins to speak with Rambo during the boat ride, she asks his name, to which he replies, "John".

Are you getting me, dear reader? It isn't, "I'M RAMBO, THE MOST POWERFUL WARRIOR OF ALL TIME, HELPING YOU PUNY WEAKLING DO-GOODERS TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM ..." and yada-yada-yada. It's clear from Rambo's demeanor that he is not terribly impressed with himself. A first name introduction suffices just fine, as far as he's concerned. His violent resume? He'd just as soon not speak of it at all, answering Sarah's questions about his past with the shortest answers possible. "John", as he introduces himself, is profoundly divested of pride. Sarah's a committed Christian missionary, long in the habit of putting her money where her mouth is, and living selflessly according to her belief in aiding the oppressed in any way she can. John's lack of pride, in inextricable tandem with his very powerful presense, well be at least part what draws her to her friendship with him.

You'll recall, dear reader, if you watched "Rambo III", that Rambo refuses to join Col. Trautman in his mission to Afghanistan with the words, "My war is over." As Stallone has taken over the writing of this story from it's initial novelist creator, David Morrell, Rambo's inner conflict has become that he is supremely gifted in the art of waging war, but wants nothing more than to cease fighting and killing.

This is highlighted in this new installment of "Rambo" during a dream sequence in which Rambo is hearing the voice of Col. Trautman, these words from the final scenes of "First Blood" and also "Rambo III" haunting
John Rambo as he sleeps. Trautman accuses Rambo of tearing away at himself, resisting what he is. Rambo is, in Trautman's view, a one-of-a-kind warrior, capable of victory against overwhelming odds. This is John Rambo's gift.

John Rambo is then awakened from this dream by another missionary, who comes to tell him that Sarah, Michael and the other missionaries are missing. We in the audience already know this, as we've just witnessed the horrific assault on the village the missionaries had reached and were working to help.

This sequence is brilliantly shot by director Stallone, presenting a maelstorm of violence and atrocity that explodes on screen, each image presented telling a story in itself. This attack occurs during a moment of profound tenderness. Stallone shows us humanities' saving grace in his depictions of the doctor's ministering to the villagers both medically and spiritually. This culminates with Sarah moving towards a child, embracing him and comforting him. We see that this is the most natural expression of her identity. This is who she is. This child is someone she has never met before, is not related to, and is someone to whom most people would say she owes nothing. But there she is, putting herself in extreme danger of unimaginable torture and certain death simply because of her beliefs. You'll have to see this moment to truly understand it, but rest assured, you will see both the best and the worst of what it is to be human in these scenes that are onscreen for only a few moments. The attack quickly overwhelms the village. Sarah and her friends are taken prisoner.

From here, the pace of the film picks up quite a bit. John Rambo prepares himself for battle, forging a new blade at his anvil, his internal dialog a monologue of coming to terms with what he is, and what he is meant to do.

For now, John Rambo is not fighting a war his commanders sent him to fight, nor is he fighting the country that didn't want him back. He is not fighting to free POW's from that war, in an effort to right the wrongs of America's involvement in Vietnam. He's not fighting to free his mentor and teacher Col. Trautman, as doing so is his duty, dictated by the inescapable bonds of the warrior brotherhood. He is, possibly for the first time in his life, committing to an act of war based upon his own beliefs, period. It is clear an emotional bond was formed with Sarah. John Rambo cannot leave her to the atrocities of her captors.

Don't try to attack that one either, Stallone-bashers; No, the scenes in which John Rambo and Sarah become friends were not too brief. Some people are true friends in a few moments, others would not become true friends if forced to spend a lifetime together. The depth of the emotional connection between John and Sarah is quite clear to me. If it isn't to you, that says more about you than it does about this film. Deal with it.

The film continues, with John Rambo guiding a group of mercenaries up the Salween River, staying out of their soldier's banter, and refusing to take the bait of the strongest of the mercenaries, who tries to intimidate John. We see from Stallone's enactment of his character that John Rambo is not at all intimidated, but will not engage in a fight with this man. John's abilities are quite intact, but his lack of pride in what he is persuades him that it's not worth showing this mercerary what he can do. The time for that, as we soon see, comes later.

To see what happens from here, go see the film. It's is a story about a man who makes a decision about who and what he is. He comes to realize that he is a warrior. He cannot escape this identity. He admits to himself that he has killed in the past, not for a cause but for the enjoyment of using this gift of waging war. Yet now, he commits himself to a fight for his own reason: his bond with Sarah. This film is about choosing to fight, not to defend one's pride against the taunts of a mercenary, or for a political cause, or for a warrior brotherhood, but for something that exists deep within oneself. At this point in John Rambo's life, this is all the really matters. It is about fighting to defend and protect that which we hold dear. It is about what Sarah was trying to communicate to John in the beginning of the film; it is about laying down your life for your friends, for those you care for.

There is no great and complex plot in this film, no series of plot-twisting rising actions, each event in the storyline there to compel deep thought about our history as a nation, and about human history. No, this film drops us in to a particular point in John Rambo's life in which we witness him make a decision about his identity, and then act upon that decision in such a way that once committed, he can be true to his identity and very likely lose his life, or, he can deny who he is, and what he truly believes in, and so live a life that matters nothing to anyone, least of all to himself.

This is a film about John Rambo choosing, for the first time, to fight for what he himself believes in. It is a film that forces the audience to see war for the nightmare that it is, not a spectacle to entertain the masses by appealing to the lowest common denominator. This is a film about one man who makes a choice about what his gift is for, and in so doing is finally, at the end of his saga, true to what he really is: One who is supremely gifted at sheperding the weak through the valley of the shadow of death.

I recommend this film without reservation. This is one of the best war films ever made.

"Good Bad Movie", Alright, we all know Burma is run by a syndicate of totalitarian jerks, bent on crushing all dissent and lining their own pockets. Stallone takes this view and goes just a tiny bit overboard. While this movie can't honestly be accused of racism, Stallone's depiction of a monolithic and relentlessly sadistic Burmese military does provide a hilarious caricature. But that is part of this movie's shambling appeal. Stallone is content to construct a faceless gang of nefarious automatons as an enemy, for the sole purpose of finding new and creative ways to slaughter them. In terms of stylized violence and action sequences, Rambo is probably the best film of the year. Sure, the dialogue is cheesy, the characters are wooden, the plot is laughable and half the film makes no sense, but trust me, you will never see orgies of gratuitous violence constructed with such care and affection as they are in this film.

When Stallone says, before using his trusty bow to fire an arrow through the skull of some Burmese fascist: "Live for nothing, or die for something.", you might think to yourself: are those really my only two options? Hasn't Rambo just managed to contradict himself 3 or 4 times in one sentence? And finally: if you can only live for nothing, how is it possible to die for something? Listen, Rambo's specialty is killing, not philosophy. If you're adept at shrugging off pesky discrepancies of logic, or even, god forbid, enjoying them, it's highly likely you'll be able to appreciate this film for what it is: a classic good bad movie.

"Rambo continues", Lots of action, thought it was cool that Stallone chose Burma as his action site to bring awareness to the atrocities that they have suffered and that present day still exists.

"a triumphant return", Sly Stallone has created a masterpiece. There I said it. I never thought I would, but there it is. Never say never. Rambo the fight continues is a beautiful film and yes I know how strange it is that the word beautiful could be associated with anything that Stallone does let alone ANY war film. As star, director, producer and writer Sly certainly had his hands full, but it is because of his meticulous attention to detail that we are treated to a visual extravaganza that is oft times so realistic, you will be moved to tears.

Rambo the fight continues depicts John Rambo as the loner we know on a deep personal journey when he is confronted by missionaries who ask for John's help in getting into war torn Burma. When the missionaries don't return, John Rambo feels obligated to join a group of mercenaries to retrieve the hostages. The atrocities depicted in the film are a real life daily occurrence for the people living in Burma, and it is because of this reality that the story rings so true. Sly's gritty, jittery camera work and frenetic direction tell the story as though we were seeing all of it through the eyes and mind of John Rambo. Regardless of how you feel about Sly and his former efforts, see Rambo the Fight Continues if for no other reason, it is the most realistic war film ever created. Be prepared when you start the film, however, as it doesn't hold back anything. And so it should be with a film whose slogan is "Live for nothing or die for something"


"Kablam! Splat! Boom!", Given the decent job Sylvester Stallone did reigniting Rocky Balboa, I had decent hopes that "Rambo" might be as good. Alas, not too be. The aging John Rambo is a snake catching recluse in Thailand, still having flashback nightmares about being a supersoldier and giving 'that 1000 mile stare' to show he's still in a war zone somewhere in his head.

Along come a band of arrogant missionaries who want to save the world by sneaking into Burma (aka Myanmar) and giving out Bibles and pills. John Rambo stands in the dark rain and grunts things at them until the pretty missionary (Julie Benz) babbles some nonsense about caring and he cracks. Why Rambo suddenly decides she is worth changing his mind over is never given, he just does it. Then...Big Surprise...the missionaries are caught by sadistic Myanmar goons who think fun is betting on which POW will get blown up in a race through a mine field.

Thus it is up to John Rambo and a bunch of foul mouthed mercenaries to extract the prisoners. They do so in standard comic book style, all smart-mouthed quips and great big guns. The goons are creepy torturing rape machines, and so they must all be destroyed, right? Of course! And so, Rambo and his motley crew rescue the fair maiden and her friends with unbelievable amounts of blood, explosions, splatter, decapitations and screaming. The final ten minutes of "Rambo" are ridiculously surreal and dopey, including the patriotic rah-rah of making a wimpy snot-nosed pacifist into a real man by having him bash an enemy's head with a rock. USA!! USA!! USA!!

Given that you have no true idea why Rambo has a thing for Sarah (Benz) or why he'd agrees to take/save her, the characters have all the depth of a blood splatter. (Even as hyper-masculine as Rambo: First Blood, Part 2 was, you empathized with John Rambo.) The mercs are a multi-national pack of clichés who look down on Rambo until they suddenly decide to follow every order he gives. The missionaries, other than Sarah and Michael, are human props. It was hard to give a darn about anyone involved, as the whole movie is a gloriously shot excursive in mayhem. Unfortunately, for all the flying body parts and spewing blood, "Rambo" has no heart. It is as generic an actioner as they come, which is a huge disappointment after what Stallone did with "Rocky Balboa."
