[HLS]

Well I did not realize it was out already but I hear it had excillent reviews.

[Khardis]

I saw it last night and I thought it was a very moving story.

I am DYING to see this flick! Say, can you describe it to me without giving spoilers? I mean, how does it sit with the original 5? Is it worthy?

On aint it cool news Sly does a VERY long and detailed multi part question and answer with memebers of the site. Its really great. He's super nice guy and different than you would think, very Smart and funny. You have to check that out. I have never seen anything like it. George should do that, dammit.

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

[capncnut]

Heck, Rambo IV? Yeah, why not!

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)".

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.

really?, well its been like a decade since i saw it so i guess i can be a bit off, and yeah green beres is on channel 5 over here every other week.

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.

First Blood? *gets the remake shivers*
