Rambo's back! ...again
August 31st 2009 17:19
Sylvester Stallone will be returning to the big screen as John Rambo for a fifth time, having signed a deal to star in and direct Rambo V. In this film, Rambo will be battling human traffickers on the USA/Mexico border, and coming to the rescue of a young girl who gets abducted.
The project has been given the go-ahead based upon the considerable box office success of its predecessor, simply titled Rambo, which was released in 2008 - twenty years after the third installment Rambo III. The first two movies were released in 1982 and 1985.
Now, I'm the first to admit that I don't particularly like action films, so it was with some trepidation that I agreed to watch the first Rambo film, First Blood (I'd made my boyfriend watch so many chick flicks that it was only fair). Anyway, I was amazed by how compelling the story was; there is so much unexpected depth to the character of John Rambo, and the film as a whole. As such I was able to stomach the violence, and am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series when I get the chance. Rambo is certainly not your typical action hero!
Stallone has been quoted as saying that the fifth movie "will be quite different," and that "we'll do something a little darker and a little more unexpected." Production is set to begin in early 2010.

Back to the Eighties
The last one was great.
The first one really is underated also, and the third is absolute naff.
Bring it on...
