-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
I watched First Blood last night. That movie depresses the hell out of me. I watched it when I was a kid, and I am glad I did, because I learned an appreciation for our war vets at an early age. People think of the Rambo movies as all action, but they do give props to our Vietnam P.OW.'s

Anyone else seen it yet?

Rocky Balboa (Rocky VI) wasn't bad honestly. Much better than III and V.
Rocky Balboa was an excellent movie. Probably one of the most genuine surprises in film history.
I'm still not convinced Rambo IV will be great, but I will be seeing it @ 7 on Saturday. I'll let you know

I respect you opinion, but I must dissent.
VI fucking sucked big donkey balls...plus he should have quit after II...no ones gonna disagree with that.
Are you talking about the most recent movie? If so, then I fucking question your film judgment...that was one of the worst movies ever made. I dont care if you are a fan or a critic...that movie plain ass sucked!
I tried finding a review but seems like all the reviews talk about is the gore and the rape etc... that goes on and how they didn't know how to take the movie. So I dont know what the deal is, I saw a trailer months ago of rambo just blowing the hell out of everyone so thats pretty much what I expect.
And that's pretty much what you're going to get. I did see it tonight. I guess I liked it, but it is pretty weak on plot. Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means. But I don't think anyone's expecting it to be either....
Rambo being Rambo. That about sums it up.

I'll agree that Rocky and Rocky II are by far the best, however Rocky IV was a quality movie as well.

Thats all I do expect, but I just want to make sure it doesn't completely suck.
This must have been the easiest role ever for Sly, he seriously has like 5 lines in the whole movie, I'm not kidding. He just stares at people a lot during serious convo and grunts in combat.
No ones gonna disagree with you?
The audiences that made VI the surprise hit of the 06 Christmas season?
The critics who gave it overwhelmingly good reviews?
The large number of people who bought the DVD, proving that people just weren't seeing it at the theaters to "see how bad it was"?

while i'm not going to say it "sucked giant donkey balls", i don't think it was that good of a movie.
i mean, it was worth a one time viewing at the theater and maybe on tv.
i don't go by what critics say btw...
Esther's here and she's sick?
hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
I saw the preview on a dvd and thought...this is nuts! I don't think I saw any of them.
But this one looked "interesting".
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
mindless death. there is no redeeming quality to this movie. no romance, no political message. Rambo just goes out and kills. it's so over the top... i was rolling in the aisle laughing/crying because it's beyond stupid. the jungle becomes a human slaughterhouse for John Rambo.

Really? I wanna see it.
My thoughts exactly. Thought I was the only one who actually laughed.

It's like the writers just said hey let's throw in everything that we can possibly think of, and to make it all fit they had to toss out about 99% of the script.
But, as I watched some of the more horrific scenes involving genocide, child molestation, gang rapes, and babies being burned alive, I remembered an interview with Sly I saw when the movie was being released.
He mentioned that he intentionally kept those scenes as real as possible because he didn't want there to be any misconceptions about just how bad it really is over there right now as we speak.
So, in contradiction to an earlier post in this thread, there definitely is a political message to this movie in spite of its obvious gratuitously violent overtones.
And that message is that if the US really gave a rat's ass about freedom and not just about the oil that's underneath arab dictators, then shit like what's going on in Burma wouldn't be need to be shown in a Rambo flick just to get it to the masses.
Sly also mentioned that Rambo is an atheist because he's lost all hope in man. So, I guess it's safe to say that Sly is one of those confused individuals who think religion has anything to do with real hope. If anything, atheism is synonymous with hope for mankind because the basis for atheism is that man is capable of being moral without believing in fairy tales.
Great fuggen flick. I give it 2 thumbs up.
And, I wonder if anyone noticed the Audie Murphy reference. After all, Rambo's single-handed massacre is how Audie won the Medal of Honor in WWII. He jumped on top of a burning tank, manned the .50 cal machine for a good 20 minutes, and single-handedly stopped an entire German advance that almost certainly would've overrun his outfit. This was in spite of taking a wound to the leg.
