John Rambo: HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!

Has anyone seen that new(ish) Rambo movie yet? Just watched it off a buddy's recommendation(he told me it was unbelievably violent) and I've gotta say....I've seen a lot of films with violence and gore but I have *never* seen anything as hardcore as this movie. I just sat there screaming out "FUCK!" every time someone got killed...it was just unreal. The gore, my God, the gore! It's almost like it's an 80s or early 90s film or something...they just didn't give a fuck.

Honestly, after watching the trailers I had no intention of watching this film...but I am glad I did. If you're looking for something that will blow your nuts off and have you shitting blood for about a week, give this motherfucker a shot; you won't be sorry.

Next movie: The Punisher - War Zone. Another one where I hear the main complaint about it is that it's "too violent". Will report back later tonight or at some point tomorrow. Don't know how it could top Rambo, but we'll see how it goes...

Ugh, turned off Punisher:WZ about 35 minutes in. Horrible, just like that last one...and the one before it. How is it that they've made three Punisher movies and every single one of them has sucked?

From what I saw it was pretty violent, but all tainted by some sort of goofiness, nothing like the serious gore of Rambo. The opening scene where he appears on the table and starts ripping people up was pretty good until he just randomly decided that *hanging upside down on a chandelier was the way to go for killing incoming guards*. He does other stuff like that as well, which is just totally out of character for Frank's persona. In fact, in the first 15 minutes of the film he sits there and does something he never would have done in the Marvel Knights series(comic)...

The story, again, is heavily based on the graphic novel "Welcome Back, Frank", as was the second movie's. The time around they focus more on Dectective Soap and his "Punisher Task Force" but it's done so in the worst possible way. The add insult to injury they even decided to bring back "Micro", Frank's buddy-in-arms from the old Punisher comic series. Hokey.

Dominic West was way too far over the top as a mobster and even moreso when he becomes the laughable "Jigsaw". His brother as well as these jumping freaks are just all over the place, and they even go so far as to give them small music montages as they jump and flip all over the screen.

I can only dream of how much worse it would have probably gotten, but I've finally decided that I'm just tired of wasting time with shit when it comes to movies. I used to just sit through a movie, no matter how horrible it was just to say I had seen it...not anymore. I turned off Mummy 3 right after Jet Li woke up(can't believe I even watched it that far) as I couldn't let it ruin the series the way the fourth Indiana Jones film did, and I firmly believe that to be the right choice.

Again, if you want a good Punisher story, head out and get "Welcome Back, Frank"...or play the Xbox/PS2/PC version of The Punisher(which is quite heavily based on it, and the following "Marvel Knights" series)...because you're not going to find anything even remotely good about "War Zone". Ugh.

I do believe I told you this punisher movie was going to suck. I did like the Tom Jane one though. I saw Rambo 4 in theaters, I knew i was going to go see it when the trailer came out and that guy got turned into hamburger after somebody messes up and lets Rambo get on the .50 cal

Well, I just thought that this new Punisher had a chance due to the fact that it was another movie being done under Marvel Studios(so far, all of the movies done by Marvel themselves have rocked), rather than just some studio using the Marvel license. I don't think The Punisher will get another chance...

Man, that part at the end when he's on the .50 caliber....my God, that is absolutely unbelievable. It's, what, ten times bloodier than even that scene at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. He's just sitting there cutting people in half with that motherfucker! Are the other Rambo movies like this? I vaguely remember part 1....but don't remember much about parts 2 and 3.

The new Rambo is by far the bloodiest. Stallone went on the record to say that he wanted the film to be a protest for the violence that is actually going on in Borneo/Myanmar today. If anything, that 50 cal scene is mild compared to what those things can really do. Imagine having to fight up a hill to one of those things. It blows my mind every time I think about it, hundreds of thousands of people have run headlong into one of those things knowing full well what they can do because it's happening to people all around them.

My favorite is the 4th one, but I liked the first and second ones as well. I'm not a fan of the third one so much because Rambo and the Colonel wind up aiding freedom fighters in Afghanistan to fight Russians. In real life, these freedom fighters wind up becoming the taliban.
