Rambo IV first trailer *very graphic and violent*

[Mecha Cow]

Ouch, Stallone looks terrible. This looks great though and I expect good things after Rocky Balboa. I always preferred the mood of the original First Blood, but hey, I'm not going to complain about senseless 80's-ish violence.

Did anyone else get a Seagall vibe here?

[KROW]

I'm seeing this...

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.

[Ecto Jedi]

Damn stupid dial-up. I'll post my comments when I can actually see the damn thing.


--EDIT

Wow, very nice. This one's going to get roasted by the critics for sure, but it sure does look like the sort of fun, brainless, mega-violent action movie we haven't seen for a while.

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.

This movie is not going to be a box office smash hit. Look at the studio whose making it. You ever even heard of them?

It'll be like Grindhouse.

I could care less about the studio. It's Rambo!. I'm sure we'll be seeing advertisement like we did for Rocky. There are still bus loads of Sly Stone fans out there.

You ever hear of Carolco Pictures? Of course not. But they were responsible for producing the greatest action film of all time -- Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Then they put all their eggs in Showgirls' basket and tanked.

[RaphistheBest]

Wow. This looks entertaining. I love gore! I've only seen First Blood so I guess I'll just have to seen the others before this one comes out. Oh well, I've got plenty of time to do so.

....man, he's getting old.

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.

[LogicDonny]

Look can I ask you a question,

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.

[GK Punk]

Yeah I loved Rocky Balboa. This movie has potential to do the same thing for the rambo franchise that Rocky Balboa did for the Rocky franchise.

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.

If Rocky Balboa can be awesome, this can too.

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.

[Mecha Cow]

You heard wrong, and I don't understand why you continue ranting about it after stating you haven't seen the film.

For the record, I'm not a fan of the series.

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]

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.
