Let me just say, it is as good as and ranks up there with the original and part 2. It blows 3, 4 & 5 out of the water

I was so skeptical about this film, but seems - from what I've read - to good!

Now, I wonder what the next Rambo film will be like :)

i dunno a vietnam action film might not be too popular nowadays, people are a lot more anti-war on the whole, and i dont think it'd do as well now as it did way back when.
though in retrospect now people want war films that allways,ALLWAYS includes a guy getting shot, coughing up blood and dying in his freinds arms whilst saying "guess ill never get to (insert generic comment here)".:rolleyes:

Vietnam actionfilms were never popular in a patriotic sense. Infact, you'd be hard pressed to find a single Vietnam war movie that glorifies the US war effort. There is one film with John Wayne in it called the Green Berets, and that's it.

Otherwise, Vietnam flicks have always been anti-war and criticizing it.

Rambo I wasn't about the Vietnam war in itself, but it's pretty much a melodramatic film with action in it about the survivors of the war and how they were treated by America when they returned to the country alot of them had been forced to fight for.

Green Berets sucks even as a curiosity. Ol John Wayne, the Ultra Patriotic draft dodger. Oh the irony. Its wierd how its a WWII movies but wth sappers. And when it came out people already knew what Nam looked like and the kind of war it was. The location was pine trees etc, not even close to a jungle

First Blood was in Kentucky or the pacific Northwest or something. I forget. The only one in a forieign land was III, that was Afghanistan.

Whoops!. I hated those movies. I basically saw them because my friends went. I was mystified by the popularity of these films.
