Rambo 4

[Lukester]

I won earlier this week an advance screening pass for two of Stallone's Rambo 4 for 9:30 tonight. Should I go? or just keep the pass ticket as a collector's item and go to the opening tomorrow or whatever and pay the admission...I'm sure the promo pass will be worth more than the $12.50 admission fee later on.

It's on a fancy lookin' ticket stub...don't mind paying the full price tomorrow when it opens to the public...it's only about $12.50 or so. That original promo stub could fetch $100 in about a year . Still a good chance I'll go cuz there's always special door prizes for some of the attendees...I still have the original SPY GAME (Robert Redford) promo items I won back then (cap, pens, sports bag, CD soundtrack, T-Shirt, etc)...not to mention a couple stupid comedies that never went anywhere since.

Id be curious to know the ebay value of the Spy Game stuff...what do you think $50-$100?
I would just go. I dont see this Rambo movie being a big deal...I mean if the latest Rocky movie didnt kill, Rambo surely wont.

I saw this at an advance screening in Oslo, and going in, I didn't expect it to be any more than a cheesy and somewhat gory tribute to eighties actioners by a star/director/producer/writer who was desperate to relive past glory. That latter may or may not be true, but my former assessment was plain wrong. This movie is authentic, shocking and unlike any other comparable movie.

Given its genre, the movie is a masterpiece. The story is simple but solid, and works on several levels. The action scenes are unparalleled, more intense than "Black Hawk Down", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Stalingrad" put together. The level of brutality and gore will shock and fascinate, and no doubt cause some level of controversy.

Stallone proves himself to be an excellent director, as well as in excellent shape for his age. I had little faith in him going in, and I stand corrected.

This is a Rambo who has come to terms with who and what he is, in a movie that holds up when compared with the original "First Blood". Well done, Sly. Well done indeed.

Wow. Completely unexpected review.
Looking forward to it now.

YO ADRIAN!!! I LOVE YOUUUU!!!

Oops wrong saga lmao.

Well I liked Rambo I, liked Rambo II even more - must have watched it at least 30 times, disliked Rambo III - once was enough, and now Rambo IV comes out - looking forward to seeing it...

Well, I went.

I agree with the Norwegian review.

It's well thought out and dramatized besides the action.

In the likes of Tears of the Sun, Missing in Action, and a tad of Apocalypse Now--all into one.

I'm looking forward to buy the DVD and watch it again.
