 Stallone is greatAug 16, 2010
Saw the original Rambo again and I'm still amazed by what genius talent Stallone is and just as everyone started writing him off he came roaring back with his last Rambo (which he wrote, directed, and acted in). People forget what a talented writer and director he is dating back to Rocky and his directorial debut Paradise Alley. Stallone's commentary is very entertaining in the special features. I truly respect and admire Stallone's work as I do Tarantino, Rodrigeuz, Coppola, Arnofsky, James Cameron, Spike Lee, Ridley Scott. Michael Mann, etc. All in a class by themselves.

 Ha ha ha - you must be kidding!Aug 03, 2010
Man, this movie sucks so bad.
Only Red bull-addicted FPS-bred teenagers that loves slash'n'gore could find this stinker cool, because even as an "action movie" it's hilarious.
Some stupid white missionaries trekking in the burmese jungles and expecting not to get into trouble?
Mercenaries and guerrillas like humanitarian saints and the burmese soldiers like ghoulish vampires?
An old timer that no matter how much L'Oreal Excellence, botox and steroids uses, he still looks like an old timer playing "rambo"?
The plot is so retarded that previous rambo movies (II & III) look "intelligent" in comparison!
Rambo always will look fake since Stallone - during the Vietnam War - instead of volunteering like thousand did, preferred to make soft porn, safe in NYC.
It's obvious his career - since years ago - is going down the drain, then he needs money, so we'll see more "rambos" until he end up like Charles Bronson, at almost 90, still shooting LAWs and M60s.

DisappointingAug 01, 2010
I have never written a review before in my entire 10+ years of using amazon, but I felt compelled to do so for this extended cut because I wish I was warned before I bought it. I love Rambo, every single Rambo movie, and I especially loved the newest Rambo. I just got done watching the extended cut and it is my personal opinion that it was awful compared to the original release. The action and violence was unbelievably toned down and the additional 9 minutes was mainly dialogue that didn't add much to the movie and I feel as though it just hurt the overall flow of it.
That is the best warning I can give you. I am actually going to sell back my copy of extended and stick with my original cut. So if you were considering grabbing the new collector's set, I would do that as opposed to buying them all separately just to have the extended cut. If you must find out for yourself, you should rent the extended cut or borrow it from another sucker who bought it like me. The extended cut was easily the most disappointing bluray I have purchased in the history of my entire collection.

Extended cut has a stronger story to go with the actionJul 29, 2010
The box cover says Rambo, but the title for the extended cut has been restored to the original JOHN RAMBO title.
The four-movie BluRay Box Set DOES NOT include the extended John Rambo.
Basically Stallone added nine minutes back into the movie, and most of it is dialog INCLUDING the Rocky Balboa style monologues.
There's a quick new scene on the boat in the beginning with the snakes.
Rambo has a big monologue along the same lines of Rocky's speech to his son in Rocky Balboa. It's in the rain when he's convinced to take the boat up river.
There's more dialog on the boat while he's taking the missionaries.
The pastor has more lines when he comes to get Rambo.
Going back to watch the theatrical cut makes it seem like an edited for TV version where they had to cut out big story bits. The extended cut feels more like an end for Rambo along the lines of Rocky Balboa, and restoring the John Rambo title makes sense.

Of all the Rambo movies this one is the bestJul 29, 2010
This is by far the best Rambo yet. It's the most intense and brutal of the series. There's not much more I can say. Bottom line is this is an awesome movie. A must own. If you liked the earlier Rambos you'll love this one!
