ZOMG! I'm usually not the big fan of "no-brainer-action" movies, but this one is just incredibly cool for some reason. Highly recommended! And damn I hope I'm in that good shape when I ding 61!

9/10

He is. He's also 160-andsomething centimeters tall. But yes, the movie is good. I Like his bow :)

Saw it a while ago.. I found it a bit cruel.. They just shot children trough the head etc..

Wasnt really my kind of movie but if you like action this is a good movie

Hmm surprising, I have only heard bad reviews so far.

The old movie actually had some political statements about f.ex. the treatment of war veterans and such.

This one is rumoured to be all about killing stuff and no real "story" or issues besides the obvious situation in Burma which also is rumoured to be portrayed very "black and white".

Guess I'll have to see for my self.

The first 30 minutes were utter crap.  The last 30 minutes, however, made up for that completely.  If you want to see people being cut in half with .50 cals, skip the first half :)

I'll completely have to completely download this completely sometime and completely watch it completely.

Saw it with my brothers yesterday. It's suitable for watching it once and having a laugh at bloody limbs flying around the screen and Rambo cutting people in half with this jeep-mounted megagun thingie... As mean as that sounds. But you can't watch that film taking it seriously. I award it bonus points for being so overly gross aka various-weapons-hit-soft-flesh simulator.

If you want something ambitious or sophisticated it's of course total crap!

It's Rambo.  Ambition, sophistication, even good dialogue are not to be expected.  Cutting people in half with machine guns is what you expect.  And damn, it did that well!

Mike and I got about half way through and then fell asleep.

Some of those kills were soooo awesome though.

Hope to watch the last 30 minutes or so sometime today.

Don't forget ripping out throats with bare hands.
