John Rambo

Call me weird, but I don't get the "Yay, somebody died in a gruesome way, it's cool!" attitude.

I don't understand my own perception of the "OKness" of violence in movies too well, so feel free to bash me, but seeing a now bizarre looking Stallone take apart (literally) some Asian guys with gusto doesn't do it for me.

I kind of liked the first Rambo movie. It had a message.

Part two and three are utter crap, clichee heaped upon clichee to glorify the American Warrior Against Evil™.

If it's violent, let it be done like Starship Troopers (part one, mind you), with a meaning or message, something to think about. Not a brainless gorefest rehashing a "plot" that has been smelly for decades.

Opinion above based on the Rambo trailer and comments, so I might be totally wrong about the movie, though I doubt it.

take care
