Good to hear. I thought the last Rocky was probably the best as well.
Dammit, Grim. You gave away part of the ending. You have to keep the audience in suspense, buddy.

LOL
Oh for crying out loud. Its Rambo we’re talking about here. No one is interested in the plot. SPOILER: He shoots people in this move. End Spoiler.
I just read here: Movie Reviews, Trailers, Interviews, Wikis & Posters for Movies - IGN
that they actually did consider doing the Juarez trafficking thing. Interesting.
"The thing was, I was going to do something about Mexico. Actually, the whole Coyote Mexican – remember the people disappearing in Juarez and that whole world? So we went that way and I said, “No, not working. I need something more international.”

Hahaha! So true! He shoots people, but he also blows them up and stabs them too!
I liked it. I would like to believe that there is a warrior type who looks out for the innocent with all the bad guys out there. And if now, he still shoots, stabs, and blows up bad guys. It works for me.
damn rambo was so sick…
sylvester is still the man.
what a fucking movie, if you didnt get jacked up in the last 45mins of that movie you need to reach down and make sure you have a pair. WOW.
I saw it and couldn’t believe my fucking eyes! I’ve shot a .50 cal before in combat (Iraq 2004), but it wasn’t NEARLY as exciting as Stallone ERADICATING a whole fucking battalion, plus a patrol boat!! I’m going to go see this movie again. Stallone is the comback king, no questions about that.
And oh yeah, almost every ass in the theater stood up and cheered when he shot an arrow through that guy’s mouth as he was trying to run away!
Did my eyes deceive me or did one of the burmese soldiers throw an infant into a post and then torch the shit out of it with a flamethrower?
What was absolutely appalling to me was that “Meet the Spartans” was #1 at the box office while Rambo was #2. Rambo is the greatest action movie ever made. I can’t think of a time that I was more entertained in a movie theater. From what I have been hearing Meet the Spartans was damn near the worst, yet people still shelled the money out to go see that piece of shit. However the big question is this, what man ages 18-50 would rather see “Meet the Spartans” than “Rambo”? You must either be a eunuch or a whipped pussy.

What you are witnessing my friend, is the sad state of the world outside the Testosterverse. The decline into the blank staring world of metrosexual vapidity continues…
Rambo got beat by like a thousand dollars…who the fuck went to see that movie.
Pulls out a gun
Someone at this site has been double dipping. I suggest you spend another 6-8 dollars and see Rambo again. NOW!!

I saw it again yesterday…much better than the first viewing…
I can not believe meet the spartants beat rambo, even if it was only 500k or so (I know its just an estimate right now, actual figures not out yet)…funnything is-- in almost every country sly is totally respected for being a t-man except for this country…I cant really understand that…
how many muscle guys can write, direct, produce and act like that…incredible…and still doing it over 30 years later…
watching that movie is like downing a bottle of Alpha Male in one gulp!
Violence!
IGN: Talk about the tone of the film. How much do you mean for the action to be gratifying given the fact that you depict the violence in a very realistic fashion?
Stallone: If you notice over the opening credits, I had to live up to a certain kind of responsibility because people are dying as we’re making the film. Therefore, to just have me running through the film doing these extraordinary heroics I thought would demean what they’re going through. So they had to have their moment where you see a village that is decimated. That’s what happened.
As a matter of fact, it’s even worse but I said, “I don’t know if that other stuff would fly today. I think the audience really wants something that’s hard hitting, but has a semblance of reality.” We went too far in the old days. We got away with murder. “Jump out of a plane? Well, I don’t need a parachute. You use mine.” And you made it. Somehow you made it. You landed on a convertible roof and you did it. I said no, this time I’m going to really show it and the violence has to be extraordinarily brutal because we see people beheaded on television.
How much harder can you get? You cannot water it down, at least I didn’t feel. That was a big bone of contention really. The other thing was do you do a film about a caper, like they wanted to have the corrupt CIA guy and he was trying to sell plutonium rods. I said no. The biggest and most interesting crises in the world is the human crises. It never gets boring. Just like Shakespeare. You don’t need a gimmick. It’s just man against man, just their intolerance of each other.
IGN: Was it hard to bring the movie in at an R rating? Did you want more violence?
Stallone: I couldn’t believe it first of all. When babies are being bayoneted and people are getting [killed], I though this will never go. We presented it, but I did have a caveat with the MPAA. I said, "Guys, this is happening today. If we’re ever going to do something responsible where art has the ability to influence people’s awareness, impact the lives of these people, don’t dilute it. Don’t water it down. It’s got to be uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable. It’s miserable. It’s distasteful. It’s horrifying.
But if you’re not going to do it, don’t do the movie. Don’t do violence light. It’s just wrong. Don’t cut away too soon. Just let it sit in. I want people to feel it." To their credit, they allowed this film to be as truthful as it could.

Muscles are, like, so totally last decade.
