I need your optimism in my life. I am sure it will have a complex intriguing plot with indepth character studies. I do not believe it was screened at Cannes. Maybe these straight to the home movie market. I have seen worse, believe me. I just saw Vendetta which was entertaining, enjoyable and incredibly stupid. I guess Dwayne the Rock has created a demand for these guys to star in budget action films with thin plot lines.

You guys can laugh if you want, but I love Rambo and would watch Rambo 9 if he goes that far. Part of my childhood mind candy, and some great memories associated with seeing these movies.

I have liked all the Rambo movies. The last one was the best yet. Hope this new one has that level of gore and violence. I will have this on disc one day, I've got all the others.

I never hope for much from these movies. First I have to forget Stallone's anti gun posture. They are good for a 90 minute relaxation.
You do have to give him credit (and probably his pharmacist)for the dedication he has to get in the shape he is in at his age. I recently watched an Arnold movie, a drama, and he looked really bad.

I'm surprised that the trailer wasn't edited to follow the music beats more. That seems to be the latest gag.
Personally, having him sitting in a rocking chair with combat boots seemed silly. They should have had him in crocs, so that they could have an epic montage of him lacing up his combat boots.
See that you audience morons!?!?! COMBAT BOOTS! MACHINE GHOST FULL-SEMI-AUTO GUNS with shoulder things that go up!
Dun dun dun! *guitar riff*

Fuck Stallone. Raging hypocrite making a fortune off “gun violence” in movies his whole life. He’s the original Liam Neeson.
quote:
After the shooting death of his friend, comedian Phil Hartman, in 1998, Stallone became particularly passionate about the issue. And it wasn’t just lax gun laws he was angry about; he wanted to blow a hole through the Second Amendment: “It has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off, it’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need [the Second Amendment] anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it,’” Stallone told Access Hollywood in 1998. “Why should we?”
“Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have,” added Stallone. “It’s pathetic. It really is pathetic. It’s sad. We’re living in the Dark Ages [in America].”
“I know people get [upset] and go, ‘They’re going to take away the assault weapon,’” Stallone said in early 2013, right around the time he was promoting his then-new film, Bullet to the Head. “Who…needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you’re carrying out an assault…You can’t hunt with it…Who’s going to attack your house, a fucking army?”
I have seen scenes, couldn't tell which movie they're from.
Stallone was never a guy that "I got". Saw the first Rocky, it was OK.
I still don't get it.
