John Rambo: instant Criterion selection?

War is hell, and hell makes for a good movie.

5 out of 5 stars

Looks like the guy who called There Will Be Blood "The Greatest Film of the Century" is biting his tongue.

I enjoyed this movie. I wasn't looking for anything critically acclaimed...

For one of the few people who saw any of the originals (in the theatre) it was just as I wanted.

Pure onslaught of gore and over the top killings. It was good to see Rambo on the big screen again.

i saw it and loved it. They didn't ruin it with a bunch of subplots and trying to do too much with it. They stuck to the simple formula that wins, straight easy plot with a ton o killing.

great flick.

Probably because the teeny boppers know nothing about rambo, or the guys did not want to go alone for fear of being called gay because their g/f didn't want to go.
