Review # 255: Rambo (2008)

This movie rocks, plain and simple. That is, if you enjoy seeing people get blown to pieces, which I do.
There is, of course, some weak-adhesive of a plot that holds this thing together. Some dumb-assed do-gooders want to go to Burma to help people or something, and Rambo tells them it’s a bad idea. They get killed/captured and the mercs sent to save them get killed/captured. Now Rambo has to save their stupid asses and defeat an army in the process. This of course leads up to a final battle that was full of what was best described by someone in the room (Matt? Bird?) as “Reagan-era violence.”
Computer graphics are utilized in some of the best ways I’ve ever seen, ripping people apart, setting them on fire, and having arrows shoot through them. Old-fashioned blood-burst-packets are used as well. Women and children are not spared, as the militants savagely shoot and/or rape them. This of course more than helps to justify Rambo’s liberal dismembering of their bodies, dispatching of their limbs, and exploding of their heads.

Here is a nice montage of the action…Not too many innocent people getting f’ed up here, mostly just the bad dudes. So don’t feel guilty, just watch.
