Yes. Be warn that the new Rambo movie trailer is very graphic and looks going to be what Rambo has all been about. Enjoy!

Wow. A sequel not being toned down because studios think that PG-13 movies are the only way to go. Got to give Rambo IV props for keeping up with it's formula istead of swaying for "more viewers!"
Isn't there a whole thread about how you aren't going to post here anymore?

For Rambo IV, an exception surely can be made?
Man, I've never watched a Rambo film before, but that trailer has sold me on the series.

I saw First Blood Part 2 and that was it. I heard Rocky was a feel good movie let's see where they go with this new Rambo. Because the new Die Hard doesn't look very good.

I've only ever seen First Blood, which is apparently very different from the subsequent Rambo films. In that one, Rambo is a deranged hobo who rages a one man war on a small town full of hippies.
It's an awesome movie, though.

Looks like a blood bath to me...
The new Rocky was more of a homage to him and to Philly, and it had the whole father son angle. Generally it wasn't much more impressive then the others, just newer, thrown into our time. Worth seeing if you are a fan of the series and Stallone. It was actually being filmed in my neighborhood so that was really cool, didn't get near Stallone though.
I haven't seen too much of the new Die Hard yet

First Blood was based on the book, which actually had a message behind it regarding Vietnam vets and how they can snap after a long time in service. The ending originally concluded with Rambo killing himself, but he was kept alive in the final cut due to his popularity with the audience.
This of course led to the definitive movie, First Blood Part II, which Rambo IV may be the closest to depending on the trailer (Rambo III is one big live-action video game)

Actually, there are TWO.
Rambo shot an arrow into a guy, and he fell on a land mine.
....I'm seeing this movie.
*gulp*
Total gore fest!!
You said it. :sick: So not a Rambo fan.

Way gorier than anything I've seen in Rambo 1-3, and no way it's gonna be PG-13! (something I was very worried about with the announcement that Die Hard 4 is going to be PG-13)
I honestly didn't like a whole lot in Rambo 1-3 aside from most of the first and a bit of the third, but that trailer has me totally stoked.

Awesome, pure awesome!!!!
Yeah this is the promo teaser from aintitcool that Sly did for the Cannes film festival, I do hope he is able to keep a lot of the gore (I mean if Hills Have Eyes remake, Saving Private Ryan, Hostel, Saw 1-3, etc. can, why not Rambo)
Rambo is and always will be the man!! I've seen this promo footage/teaser at least 10 times already...i just can't turn it off. .50 caliber machine gun = enough said :D ...plus I even liked the fact they used the "Land of the Dead" score (that last track on the CD score soundtrack) for the second half of the trailer
Weirdly enough a lot of the times i've watched this teaser I've actually pictured Raphael in Rambo's shoes (and doing those lovely graphic deeds hehe). I guess that's since Raphael and Rambo are my two favorite characters of all time. I'm sure I'm the only one who has ever done that lol lol.
P.S. To Raph's Girl: You're both a Raphael and Rambo fan??? I think I'm in love :D :D

Yep. I just might check this one out.
Wouldn't it be sweet, if Die Hard 4 realy ended up being PG-13 and this new Rambo stomped it in the box office. Would be great to change a studios perception that movies that kids can have access to are going to rake in the money.

Die Hard 4 is out in July, John Rambo is out in 2008.... would be nice if both were out around the same time but alas John Rambo's just gonna be stomping all over Iron Man.

I know that. What I meant, was that the studios have this thing in their heads that for a movie to successful, it has got to appeal to the family in some fashion or another. So, more than likely, Die Hard 4 is going to be PG-13 (if it wasn't, the rating would have been out by now, so it looks like they are cutting scenes or editing scenes to bring it down to the PG-13 rating they want.)
But it would be nice, by next year, Rambo comes out, and scores a bigger audience (and it's nice for the men to have the macho movies out once in a while) and maybe stop the studios by speculating that a movie must be a PG-13 or lower to score big bucks.

Terminator 2 was made by James Cameron and was also a sequel*More closely followed to the release of the first film*
I got your point but this sequel is pretty far from the release of the last Rambo film and with advertisements like this I don't see it being advertised much at all.

the last Stallone movie, Rocky Balboa, did you see it and enjoyed it and felt the movie had a great finale to the francise you watched for all these years?
If Rocky Balboa can be awesome, this can too.

No I didn't see it, I heard it was a happy circus feel good movie. Some 60 year old wash up gets in the ring and defeats a kid. I never liked Rocky to begin with so maybe that's why but either way I heard nothing good about it from people who weren't fans of the series.

I never said it won't be good, I even said it looks like it might be, I said it won't be advertised very much.
And I have feeling fans of movies like Rocky will hate this movie because it won't be a feel good wuss-fest and it looks like it has some hardcore gore in it. And since everyone wets themselves when they see that now of days I don't see this movie doing very well either.

You call stating the plot of the movie ranting? Then saying I don't like the Rocky series is totally ranting about the newer Rocky movie. My wuss comment was referring to the general audience of movie go-er's not going for violent movies. Most violent movies bomb*Atleast hyper violent ones* 300 was an exception though but don't get me started on that movie.
To each their own. I never said anyone was a fan, in fact I think I was quoting Donny there was I not?

Yeah, like Mecha Cow said, you heard wrong. And for the record, Rocky Balboa was just about the best-reviewed sports movie to come down the pike in a damn long time. Making stupid-ass assumptions like that just makes you sound like a douchebag.
ZariusTwo
05-25-2007, 09:03 PM
I'd like to think Stallone will try and weave a story that honours the sophistication and message of "First Blood", but given he's already provided fans with one thoughtful story, he should treat his final performance like a retro gore fest that manages to be more real than the last two movies whilst maintaining how over the top they are.
Terminator 3 served that role for Arnie, even if people rant about it.

RT says it got a 76%. And with it going up against movies like "Lords Of Dog Town" and "You Got Served" I'd say that's not hard to accomplish.
I made my "assumptions" based off the opinions of my friends and family who aren't going to tell me a movie sucks on purpose so I won't go see it. They told me what it was about and pretty much told me it was a touchy good feel movie. They told me I'd hate it and to avoid it. So I did.
Why in the world you care at all what I think of Rocky is beyond me.

I care if people go see sequels and movies I hate because if they do those movies make more money and they keep making more sequels and movies I hate.
If I don't watch Rocky it makes no difference to them because it's something that A is completed series and B already popular so no need to worry about it losing money.

"It's actually the best Rocky movie since the original – a fitting and triumphant final chapter for one of the most iconic characters in the history of motion pictures." – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
"Rocky Balboa is not only the best sequel since Terminator 2 and the best movie of writer-director-star Sylvester Stallone's career, it's one of the best American films of 2006, and the year's most pleasant surprise." – Jim Hemphill, REEL.COM
"After a shaky start, the film gradually overcomes our resistance, satisfies our credulity, wins us over and gives us an inspirational high. It had me in tears before it was done, and I'm a tough audience." – William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Very few "sequel #6" movies have ever gotten this sort of praise. So again, you obviously don't know what you're talking about. "Wuss-fest"...Gimme a break. And just for the record, I'm stating my case here not because I particularly care what you think about a film franchise I've loved for years, but because I've been hearing ignorant sh*t like this a while now and it's getting on my nerves. I find it quite irritating the way the Rocky sequels are constantly brushed off as nothing more than sports movie fodder and never given the same respect as the original. What's more irritating is that the people making these assessments usually don't even watch the films in question, or are operating under some vague memory of them from years ago...
If you don't like it, that's fine. I won't lose any sleep over it. But please, don't go insulting a film you've never even seen. It irks me.

Don't worry about it, Spit.
And yeah, Cinderella Man is definitely one of my all-time favourite films. I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby, though, which appears quite different in both content and context. In any event, for what it's worth, Cinderella Man follows the Rocky pattern almost to a "T". So there you go.

"Million Dollar Baby" was hardly a boxing movie -- I mean, it kind of starts going that direction, then BOOM... the twist happens (if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about) and it becomes some kind of made-for-TV drama in a hospital room for the last hour or so.
The really only boxing movie that is comparable to the Rockys is "Raging Bull," which is also damned good.
Tabularasa
05-27-2007, 03:16 PM
How anyone who acutally saw Rocky Balboa and didn't like it, is beyond me. Defentilly was a great movie and the best Rocky since the first two. Personally the only movie I thought that was a better boxing movie then Rocky was probably Raging bull. But then again Rocky does have boxing but the good ones (1,2, and 6) were more about the characters then the boxing which is what made the movies good.
But anyway to try and stay on topic Stallone did good on Rocky Balboa so I'll give him a chance to do good on Rambo.

I was personally hoping for something more politically relevant in the here and now... like, send Rambo back to Afghanistan for payback (in Rambo III he kind of unwittingly helped the Taliban) or over to Iraq for cleanup duty. Still, after seeing this trailer I know I'll still love what we get.

Though we differ in opinion on the quality of the various Rocky sequels (Part III and IV are, in my opinion, the best of the lot), you'd probably enjoy my take on the subject (http://www.xanga.com/Retro_Playback/593249604/sequels-have-feelings-too-dammit.html).
