Official Rambo: Last Blood Thread 9/20

[Ill Lou Malnati]

What's interesting is that Morrell said the film was dehumanizing and he was embarrassed. But if you look at First Blood, in the book Rambo was a murderous psychopath who killed a ton of people. It was Stallone who humanized Rambo and made it so that he didn't kill anyone in the film (unless you count the cop that fell off the chopper).

So I thought it was a bit hypocritical to come across as if his Rambo was a pacifist.

Yeah, he said he felt dehumanized and degraded after having watched it, that's a going a bit too far, IMO, but I wonder how he felt about the last movie. They don't seem that different. Both are nasty, violent movies and they revel in it. This one was just a much more personal mission, so I guess in that respect you could justify the murderous rage he had, but still not the direction I'd like to have seen the series gone in.

gonna go see this.

is there anything as brutal and visceral as this scene?


or was it toned down?

Saw this in the theater and had a legit anxiety attack at this scene. Babies getting killed fukked my head up.

When asked what his take on the film (Rambo 2008) was, First Blood writer David Morrell said:

I'm happy to report that overall I'm pleased. The level of violence might not be for everyone, but it has a serious intent. This is the first time that the tone of my novel First Blood has been used in any of the movies. It's spot-on in terms of how I imagined the character — angry, burned-out, and filled with self-disgust because Rambo hates what he is and yet knows it's the only thing he does well. ... I think some elements could have been done better, [but] I think this film deserves a solid three stars.[43][44]

That's cool. Next time I run through all the Rambo movies, I'll keep that in mind when watching the fourth one.

How did they get the niece, did her dumbass actually accept a drink in that nightclub or did they just kidnap her?

i believe she accepted the drink...but

Spoiler: i guess

IIRC her home girl was the who slipped the drug

so under that pretense, she'd accept a drink

 

[Red Shield]

I enjoyed it. Not better than the last one though

Spoiler

I thought he would have been able to rescue her. Didn't expect all of that shyt to actually happen to her
I felt bad for her. Yeah she put herself in a dumb position, but the reason is real understandable.

Those kills

Spoiler

that explosive shotty

If his got one more in him, then I'm down.
