Rambo 4

For a non-Rambo-Rocky person too, I'd say Rambo 4 does manage to captivate the audience. So it obviously is a treat for Stallone lovers. Sylvester Stallone looks very impressivley shaped up for his age (62!). John Rambo is a man of few words because he can afford to, his actions speak so loud and clear that you're on the edge of your seat. He saves a bunch of Christian peacemakers from the wrath of Burmese army. Yes, thats the story. But the trail is so gory that I really felt nauseous in one or two sequences. I'd only heard about this effect of watching violence but now I know it exists. However, the pace and direction make up for those atrocious scenes, which I believe a typical Rambo lover looks forward to. So Rambo pretty much delivers what he is expected to. One dialogue that stayed with me, obviously voiced by our hero John Rambo "We live for nothing but die for something!" One dialogue that stayed with John Rambo, voiced by one of the missionary girls,"You've been living here in the woods for 25 years, don't you wonder what happened to your father back in America?" So t'wards the end of the movie after killing about a million evil soldiers and saving a lot of lives, Rambo says goodbye to his pre-historic lifestyle in the jungles of Burma, and goes back to Colorado (say it with a twang please).Rambo 4 gets a 7 out of 10 from me.
