I know it's been out for a while, but I just saw it last night, and I couldn't find a thread about it (except the ones that had trailers posted). Anyone see it? What did you think?
I felt the plot was pretty bland (Rambo gets roped into a situation he didn't want to be a part of, kills everybody), but I guess that's pretty much the Rambo formula. What I really liked, though, was the way Stallone played the character. He's still the same old, tough as nails, jaded hero, but more world weary. I think Stallone's aging and life experiences have helped him portray the character closer to as intended. I really got a "First Blood" vibe at times. All in all, I enjoyed it, and I think it was a much better end to the series than Rambo III. Also, awesome special effects. Bravo.
