The reason Burma refuses US aid
-
Rambo 4 is still too fresh in their minds. Yesterday I watched the flick. Rambo goes saving a group of American aid-workers that illegally travel into Burma to provide the people with basic help. The aid-workers get caught by the Burman army and needless to say that army pays a high price for that :). When a very small group of mercenary fighters (5+Rambo) can wipe out a complete bataljon (well, 98% wiped out by Rambo, 1.9% by the other mercenary fighters and 0.1% by the aid-worker turned beserk ;) ), you'ld be reluctant too to let aid-workers in lest they get caught by a overzealous officer and you pay the price afterwards.

What a bloody awful film; a complete waste of 90+ precious minutes that I can never recover.

When the movie started the first few minutes I was thinking similar thoughts. When the first killing started (Rambo vs Burma pirates) I said: yakes WTF, not even Billy the Kid can shoot this fast, and he was a kid, Rambo is 60 now :wtf: . But as blood kept flowing richly I could appreciate the subtly different variations of crimson-red my new LCD-TV could reproduce. After stopping to consider how 'realistic' the action was and just slurping my beer while grinning savagely at some of the more bloody scenes, I was just glad I didn't go see it in the theatre but kept it for a good no-brain rental movie on a sunday-evening ;) .

You are complaining because you bought a film called 'Rambo 4'? Its your bloody fault isnt it. Stop whinging!
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
You make a good point other than someone gave it to me whilst telling me how great it was. By the time I realised that it was never going to get to the great part I'd seen more blood than I'd really care to. I'm not bothered by blood but I'd rather not bathe in it which is what this lot were trying to do in the film: or so it appeared. Rambo 1 was okay in it's day.

So are you saying I should skip the movie?
