 Stallone is the coolestFeb 07, 2010
This is the best Rambo since the original "First Blood". As for this DVD, it's a 2-disc edition, though the second disc is just a digital copy, which I'm sure most people use as a coaster. The first disc has all the special features that the 1-disc version doesn't have, though as I'm lead to believe, there is a 1-disc version out there that has all the features of this 2-disc edition and that one is in a regular keep case as compared to this 2-disc which comes in a custom case, whereas that special 1-disc edition is only lacking this useless digital copy. So for collectors who can't seek out that special 1-disc edition, you can settle for this 2-disc edition and you'll be just as happy.
 Gratuitous GoreFeb 07, 2010
Yeah, it's a war film, so killing, blood and rape are to be expected. In this film, don't expect much more than that. It's extremely graphic without much more to fall back on. The setup is simplistic--missionaries want to do the right thing by bringing aid to those oppressed by the Burmese Army, and nothing about it goes well.
Everything about this film is an effort to exhibit the most gross aspects of battle, with almost no character development, minimal context, no chemistry amongst the cast. Even the action can't stand without a blood bath. The only other notable facet of this film is trying to figure out what cosmetic surgery Stallone has done. The irony of missionaries vs murderous rampages is more than a bit blunt.

Taking Claymores Where They've Never Been BeforeFeb 02, 2010
If you've seen one Rambo, you've pretty much seen them all. At least this one involves a conflict between a real, live repressive regime that violently stays in power, with all the popular support as that enjoyed by North Korea, and this one isn't saddled with a pro-colonial, pro-imperial side to champion as the earlier Rambo romps.
What makes this one a five star Rambo was its jaw-dropping depiction of a claymore mine exploding with what appears to be all the qualities of a low yield field nuclear weapon. As super-patriot Sly Stallone somehow missed serving in the military during the Vietnam war, he may be excused from thinking that a mushroom cloud is produced by a claymore.
There are lots and lots of Saving-Private-Ryan exploding heads and flying flesh. Some local women (and one guy) are sexually abused (we learn nothing about them or their fates), while the one European woman in the movie is saved from the fate worse than death...and even manages to fall down during the race to escape; she further exercises her acting chops by holding her hands to her ears and looking pained, for the last 20 minutes of the movie, i.e. during the Kill 'em All "plot" resolution for which the audience has been so patiently waiting.
Next to watching Keanu Reeves drive a motorcycle faster than the light/heat/shock wave of a nuclear blast (Chain Reaction), there's been no better example of testosterone based science fantasy.
If you don't care a whit about plot or character development, and if nuance is anathema, this is for you!
Bad to the BoneFeb 01, 2010
I think Sylvester ranks among the stars such as Swartzeneger, Van Dam, Chuck Norris, and Steven Segal. Rambo is a terrific tactical movie. Bravo movie makers.
