The last Rambo movie

Holy crap, it was good.

Coming from the person that watched the very first back in 1991 as a 5yr old due to an older brother that his friends gave me a can of beer lol.

The old days were amazing lol. But moving on I loved this so much. It felt like a diet Taken movie.

Part of me wishes they didn't make it because Rambo 4 was such a good ending for the character, but seeing Rambo tear bad guys to literal pieces is just too fucking awesome.

I loved hearing those shotgun blasts echo throughout the caves. Stellar sound design.

If you saw the US version that's because they chopped out the whole opening to the film.
Apparently there's a whole 10 minutes missing, which is just annoying.

I was going to buy the 4K Blu Ray before I found out.

Between this and the Doctor Sleep director's cut being regular Blu Ray only, I just find myself annoyed at how shoddily production companies still handle extended releases.

Didn't really feel like a Rambo movie to me but i still liked it. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot. I'll probably get on bluray if only for the last act.

I thought it was pretty disappointing. After the last movie with what seemed like 20 minutes of straight bodies exploding this one was pretty low key.

I thought 4 went a bit too much towards Happy Tree Friends style of gore. A guy gets shot and he explodes into pieces, gets stabbed and a tsunami of blood floods the Philippines, touches a leaf and his hand explodes. It really felt like most people in that movie were just gore balloons ready to pop at the slightest pressure. 5 is a bit more grounded and I liked it a bit more, of course there are a few Happy Tree Friends moments but not nearly as many as in 4.
 
The only good part of the last Rambo movie was the very last three or four minutes as the credits rolled. I'm not crying you're crying!

Edit: This!

Hold onto your panties
Came in expecting bashing but now I am excited
I have it like a 5/10. It was okay, but it sorta took the character John Rambo out of his element (which was consistent in the first 4 movies) and makes him a civilian. I can't say much more. It's worth seeing if you want an action/revenge movie. Just certain things didn't help me associate with the character from the other Rambo movies.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I enjoyed it, but it adds more suffering to the life of the character. I wish Rambo found reprieve at some point.

I still need to watch this. It’s on my pile of movies I want to see, but can’t make myself make the time. It joins the last Planet of the Apes, both Blade Runners, and the last 20 land before Times.

Enjoyed the first 3/4 of the movie. The final act fell kind of flat with me. Rambo 4 is a better film overall, and a better send-off for the character.

Rambo first blood part 2, is still my favourite.
