- It pains me to make this video, it really does. But Rambo: Last Blood was a truly awful movie, and an embarassment to the franchise. Join me as I explore how it why it goes so wrong.

this movie should've been called "Home Stallone"
LOL good one
LOL
Yes, that’s the analogy I thought of too; this is from someone who hasn’t seen the movie yet.
More like "mo money for Stallone"
Ah, there we go!
The last Rambo ended perfectly, with him walking the long road to his farm.
yeah there was no need for this film.
It was a fantastic end to the series. It was brutal, gory, and felt absolutely right - the man who had 'gone native' for decades finally coming home. This film should've been "Sylvester Stallone in The Odyssey." The prodigal son returning to see his aging parent beset by *random bad guy*. It would've been a nice echo of the original Rambo movie with him as a drifter, causing enormous trouble to this *random bad guy* and his goons.
The previous movie was trash even though it TRIED to be a Rambo movie, unlike this crap.
@Athelstan Edwardson i would actually say Alien 3 is a better movie than Rambo 5, although maybe its more accurate to say Alien 3 is less shite than Rambo 5.
That ending is what makes this movie so good. Does a character like Rambo actually ever go home?
Yes it could have ended there, but it made place for the sensitive family topic that is so present and personal in Last Blood.
The main thing I didn't like about it was that they killed off his daughter. Stupid to have a movie that shows he's finally gained some peace, only to steal it away and create a depressing ending for him.
Agreed, it blew me away he just callously tossed her away as a plot device in this alleged finale. I got to that point in the movie and realized that Oh, this is just Taken but with nothing left to fight for. And gore. At least it had some decent gorey deaths
Wasn’t his daughter
@@michaelmyers3709 yes but still its depressing
@@michaelmyers3709 practically was, he raised her like it was.
Stallone really fucked Rambo aye?
“A guy played by Sylvester Stallone who calls himself Rambo” made me laugh for ten minutes. The line kept coming back to me, funnier and funnier every time.

John Rambo had the ideal ending. Him walking towards the farm told us everything without words: The war is over.
The war was over when he came home from Vietnam. Like most veterans its hard to adjust as a civilian. In first blood move all he had to say to the law enforcement officials was, I'm a veteran, just visiting old friends, grab a bite to eat. Plus some sleep and I'll be on mine way. Thanks. Problems avoided.

THE MOVIE STILL SUCKED
@@JV-fj7dm what sucked about it.
I’ve watched this video about 4 times now and the line “then Gabriella gets bored and dies” cracks me up EVERY. TIME.
having not seen the movie, i had a giant WTF right there and went i can't believe they killed her...????

"I dont think we should be relying on film makers to teach morality to our society." Joaquin Phoenix

especially when film makers and studios are extremely biased towards groups
Are you talking the same people who said before the first trailer from The Joker that their movie was a political commentary about modern society and the same actor who behind scenes did some leftie jokes like saying Donald Trump instead of Thomas Wayne, the same persons that are crying about the media backlash??
Phoenix is a hypocrite.
And hollyweird is constantly teaching morality to the sheeple. Last blood goes slightly against the narrative then all of a sudden “oh my god movies shouldn’t teach lessons.” STFU libshits.
@JoeRingo118 : I'm saying to the actors and producers don't cry like the so called criebabies you are supossed to attack, it's all...

Moral of this story. Every story has its time. No sequels or reboots will ever eclipse the success and momentum of the originals.
The Thing 1982 is a remake that eclipses the original. It's rare but they are out there. I mean Rambo II is arguably more iconic than First Blood.
T2 is more iconic then Terminator. Same with Aliens.
Not to forget David Cronenberg's "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum and Gina Davis, a haunting Body-Horror Masterpiece and a remake of a forgettable 1950's movie starring Vincent Price...
T2, The Godfather Part 2 & Shrek 2 r just as good as there original films/movies
i think its the people who make those movies that have changed. this could have been a great story ending. what we got is a forgetable movie with the same story that exists in movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger , Clint Eastwood, Nicolas Cage or Liam Neeson.
I recently rewatched the first rambo. Such a somber film that actually had me tearing up at the end. I forgot how heart jerking it was.
Sombre
Can't wait for Disney to buy the franchise and the eventual remake, just to hear The Drinker's critique
The choice of actor alone already makes me laugh my ass out of my chair. That movie is gonna end up worse than the newest Hellboy!
TaintofCartman they are remaking rambo?? Its so sad how devoid of ideas hollywood is
Please don't give EA's best friend ideas. Disney will botcher it.
@Star Trek Theory So it's a story about a girl having her first period? Still better than Last Jedi.
I always wanted Rambo to be a Disney Princess
I was honestly thinking part of Rambo: Last Blood would have him struggling to activate his VA benefits after living off the grid in Burma for so long.
"Rambo: last appointment," a movie about the 10 years it takes Rambo to receive his VA disability benefits.
What a gaw'damn nightmare of a script THAT would be.
Shit, Sly would likely get PTSD just researching & having Vets consulting & set advising him about how every day VA experiences drive us over the fVck'n edge...daily. Just thinking about this gave me spontaneous ED...
I think the movie would have been so much better if they just focus on the relationship between Rambo and his daughter (Wasn't that the early concept)..
Rambo's daughter having a hard time adjust to the way Rambo lives, and so on.. So on.. One day she got kidnap, and Rambo went to save her in Mexico. While being abducted, she realize what kind a man her father Rambo used to be, that he's willing to do everything to save her.
Lmfao
He probably found an good attorney to get him 40 years of back pay for a 10% cut.

One of the funniest movie moments of my life was in Ireland in the early 2000's. On vacation with my family, up late one night my brother and I caught them running Rambo 3. The intro by the network announcer started the movie saying, (insert Brogue) " Up next, Rambo 3, the Americans arm the Taliban to fight off the Russians to stop the oppression of their homeland and religion. Oops, that works out well... enjoy the film."
I laughed till I nearly puked up the Czech vodka we bought at the Aldi.
wait there is a Aldi?? It's a popular market in the Netherlands lol.
And Rambo 3 was different time.. Afghan jihad where the good guys back then. Tho few years later they had power, there was a civil war, taliban was created to stop the 'old jihad' then there was a conflict with merica vs taliban..
Aldi is also in the United States. I had no idea it was in so many countries.

If this was all I heard from this review I'd think he never seen the movie.
@Joe Curr yes, but the whole point of the joke is that Drinker attributes the death not to obvious reasons presented in the movie, but do listening to the monologue, which is the least probable cause of death possible.
Here's how I would have liked Last Blood to have gone, especially after the short but awesome flashback scene in the tunnels.
Rambo, who's age has caught up to him, decides to finally talk about what he experienced in Vietnam. A different actor would play the younger version of Rambo during the war, while Stallone provides narration/tells his story. It couldn't have been any worse than what we got.
We already have that movie. It's called Forrest Gump.
"There wouldn't be any trouble if it wasn't for that king sh*t cop. All I wanted was something to eat."
"Gabriela gets bored and dies" Man this made me laugh xD
Gabriella Skywalker?
It was so sudden I had to pause and rewind to make sure I heard it right, at first I thought he meant the old Mexican lady.
Clint Eastwood should have directed this.
Same
@@aripmjr Clint would not have directed this screenplay.
It's watchable. As revenge movie. As horror-gore-splatter movie is even satisfing. As action movie is not consistent because it doesn't have a decent rythm until the last 20 minutes.
pretty much my main issue with it. That said, I loved the action when it WAS action
Very accurate description, sir.
Once the final battle rolls around, it picks up pretty well. It just takes such a weird, illogical, stumbling path to get there.
@@TheCriticalDrinker But, Drinker, you irrepressibly articulate inebriate, as long as it pisses off the left, it was worth making. But, yes, it could and should have been better executed (see what I did there?)
yeah I enjoyed that one. It was a good conclusion to Rambo. I don't see how it was so bad...sure there was a bit of slow pacing but the ending was fucking intense so it pays off in the end haha.
It really makes me sad that people who were so young and vital when I was growing up suddenly seem old. It is an uncomfortable reminder of my own advancing age and I hate it. I want everyone to be young forever 😭

I totally feel you. Ageing sucks.
@@mrjohntheo154 yeah but if we never aged would we still be able to die? Honestly longer than 100 years on this earth is waaaay too much…
It nevva happen, G. I. Joe.
I was absolutely in love with the movie until I see Rambo, yeah THE John Rambo, simply walking in on that neighborhood like a fucking moron. I literally started laughing like, seriously? No recon? Nothing? Not even taking a firearm with him, really? He even says it himself in the movie that he knows "how black a man's heart can be, he's seen it". Well?? I mean, any person with a little common sense wouldn't even dare thinking about going in a place like that but no... Not him. He's a decorated special forces war hero, that survived alone in a forest for days, while 30 cops were chasing and trying to kill him. Then after a while he took on a mission to infiltrate enemy camps undetected, to save some prisoners, which unfortunately turned out to be an all out warzone but he accomplished and survived the mission anyway. Then after that, he went to Afghanistan and let's just say that in the end this guy fought and blew a fucking gunship with a bow. Oh, and let's not forget about mowing down an entire army with a mounted .50 cal, rescuing some prisoners too, a decade or so later. Damn! This guy's got something right? Then he literally just hands himself in to the guys that took his "daugher". Wow, nice.
Rambo got out of his car unarmed, without backup and without a plan in an gang invested area because the producers of this movie did not even watch or care about all the other rambo movies. they dont care who Rambo was. Just quickly wanted to cash in on the name!
This. When I watched it, I figured he must have had a plan, I mean this is fucking Rambo, the only guy except the Terminator who can (somewhat) believably take out entire armies of men all by himself. Seeing that many guys gathering around him, I was excited, cause I thought he's walking them into a trap, and every corner he turned, I expected that he's either gonna throw a grenade at them now, or pull out a shotgun or something, and shit was about to go nuclear. But no, he gets beaten within an inch of his life like a dumbass. And if the asshole criminals didn't have some ex-machina weird revenge angle where they decide he needs to "live with it" even though they just saw this guy for the first time in their lives, instead of killing him on the spot like asshole criminals generally tend to do, that would be the end of the great John Rambo.
The only redeeming thing about the film it sounds like is at least it was John not Jane Rambo
Could've been worse could've been John going through his transition into Jane Rambo 5 The Arizona Boy🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, at least it isn't infused with identity politics, so it goes up slightly in my estimation for that. Also it's nice that it pissed off the professional critics. Like I said in the video, it's not a bad movie because of toxic masculinity or xenophobia or any of that nonsense. It's bad because it's badly written, lazy and generic, and it doesn't live up to the Rambo legacy.

Poor Drinker. I can hear the pain in his voice. This one really got to him.
Damn, that go away now was so angry, I went away now immediately.
Hey I'm on the 2nd viewing too
It wasn't a bad movie. It just didn't feel like a Rambo movie.. The last half hour of the movie felt like A violent version of Home Alone
Pfft, implying Home Alone isn't violent either and isn't all in the kid's head because the criminals actually got killed.
I really enjoyed the gore aspect of the movie and the various killing at the end, however the first hour or so of the movie shouldnt of been what it was. Not a rambo story at all. The killing absolutely.
@albert fish it probably was exactly this. Until some studio exec read the spec script one day and realized they had to make a new Rambo movie or lose the rights to the IP.
"EUREKA!" he proclaimed, "with this scrubby script, we can cash in on the 'Middle aged man with a particular set of skills' gets revenge on a violent gang for kidnapping one of his younger loved ones, 80s nostalgia bait reboots and the long await return of John Rambo that fans have been demanding for over 20 years!"

@@benm5913 i thought it was tracy lords 😁
I agree with almost everything you say, except for the part where you refer to him suddenly becoming talkative, after years of relative silence.
My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge (WW2). He refused to talk about much of anything regarding his military service, or much of anything else, during most of his life. During the last 15 years of his life, however, he began to open up. Perhaps it was because he knew his time on this earth was limited. Maybe it was because dementia was beginning to take hold. But we actually conducted several interviews with him towards the end of his life (and filmed them) for posterity.
What he shared with us is more than what I was prepared for. He never played up his part in anything, but the horror of what he experienced was really more than I expected. He never said any of this, at any point, prior to his agreement to share this with us. His detailed descriptions of "the trees that didn't have branches anymore because they'd been burned away", and "the houses that still had a shape, but that you couldn't tell why they were built" still ring with me.
A veteran that chooses to open up, eventually, isn't inconsistent. My grandfather didn't choose to open up to us and become an actual person we could talk to until 60 years after his wartime experience.
If Rambo didn't open up until just now, that seems right about on schedule.
Thank you for sharing your super special anecdote.
You could bet a lot of money that this was writers just being bad at their job than knowing your grandfather personally.
@@gregsander8439 You seem nice.
@@gregsander8439 That is a common thing that actually happens though. A lot of vets don't talk about what they went through until much later in life.
I think the complaint from Drinker though is the change of personality. He wasn't a talker in the previous films, but now he won't shut up.
@@phimed Im not. 😂
@@leadpaintchips9461 I agree. I think the original commenter gives the writers too much credit or he just saw an opportunity to talk about somezhing and went for it. 😮
They’ve shown “First Blood” a bunch of times recently on Showtime. I’ve watched it about 5 times in the past two weeks. Such a great movie and is so unlike every other Rambo
Dvd w/alt. Ending is more poignant/fuel for thought
I always enjoy the first one. But I've never been able to get into any of the sequels. The original was deep because it showed that he was really a peaceful guy--until PUSHED too far. Once he was trapped, he behaved like a cornered animal, and they got theirs. But having him go out of his way to deliver OTT action violence all over the globe devoids the whole concept of him having retired and turned his back on that life, and it removes the part about him being trapped as a provocation to make him snap. It just keeps dredging the violence back up, for violence's sake. That's not my thing, and it wasn't supposed to be the character's thing originally, either.
The book was very different. If I remember correctly, there was a huge body count in the book. In the movie one guy gets killed falling from a helicopter and that's it.
Just edit the film so he is called Kevin Maccallister. All problems solved.
Kevin McAllister: the Last Stand
Watch Rambo last blood then watch Shane Black's The Predator and tell me last blood is still a bad movie.

@@bluntguy9532 it sucks on a story telling level, but you dont watch Rambo for a compelling story.
@@Sixstringman You do if you're watching the first one
When he just walked into the Mexican gangs territory I had lost respect for this film. There is no way Rambo would just walk in. Really really stupid and I’m disappointed.
Same..And then they beat the shit out of him and...let him go.
The real Rambo would have been patient..quiet and done something badass.
Instead he walks right in armed with like a handgun and a knife.
That's not the Rambo I know.
The 4th was decent and gave him a good ending. This whole movie wasn't necessary.
Of course... FANTASY LAND BULLSHYTE MOVIE...
Same, and having him get beaten up as well? Disgraceful
IDIOT.
Its so funny how he just walked in there with a knife and the bad guys beat him and just leave him there because the film had to get rambo out of there somehow 😂😂 what a insulting film to the franchise.
"Rambo imposter" cracks me down everytime he's says it lol 🤣
He going to have a hard time explaining what all these dead bodies are doing all over his farm.
Why'd they make this film after the fourth installment was a worthy ending of the character?
*DON'T KNOW!*
Because the fourth installment was fucking garbage and they incorrectly deduced they couldn't fuck it up any more? Thaaaaat's Hollywood! :)
I call it the Hollywood paradox. They make so many great movies only to butcher them years later and leave a disappointing legacy to the story.
Money, dear boy! Money!
Although the movie wasn't as good as it turn out, I really like the early concept of Rambo having a daughter, it open to many possibities such as how does a daughter go with somebody like Rambo in life?
I like the idea of a continuation story, especially when u kidnap Rambo daughter, that should be personal as fuck, this is worse that the love of your country.
@@danskyl7279 it's like he had a bunch of decent ideas, decided half way through preproduction that he really doesn't want to do it, but fulfilled his contractual obligations anyway.

He read his script and was like “nah, et’ll be fine.”
Stallone wrote the script.
He wrote this script and thought "Okay, I'll write a new one set in Burma", which is exactly how Ramob 4 was made, because this script was literally a rejected one for Rambo 4.
@@jonathancampbell5231 Yep. I don't think Stallone's heart was in this project at all. He said for years that he didn't want to make another Rambo because he knew that he had nowhere worthwhile to take the character. I think he basically enjoys working and using the Rambo name was the only way he could get something funded.
Fred Fredson no one brought up politics here but you.
@hawklord2001 thank you for that
Watching Richard Crenna and Brian Dennehey compete in a scenery eating contest made the first Rambo fun.
_First Blood_ is my favorite Rambo movie. It's not an over-the-top killfest and the somewhat depressing tone lets you know it doesn't revel in the violence it does have.
In building a bunch of tunnels, has he become the Viet Cong he mercilessly vaporised in his misspent youth?
that was my take. the tunnels were part of his past that he couldn't let go of - not a plot device for the movie. Rambo had aged, but he was still the same inside - the rage was there. methinks drinker blacked out during the film and missed parts of it.
Those tunnels did not represent anything similar to what he would have encountered in the war. They looked more like cartel tunnels than rat tunnels, you could drive a Buick through them.
This one reminded me of the pace of the last one, minus the mercenaries. Unless you're bringing guns, you're not going to help anyone.
Yes! That's the obvious point of the movie. I think it's worth watching.
So it’s Rambo: Home Alone

@@raby760 Hey, he lured the traffickers onto his turf, knowing he'd have the home court advantage. You sort of need that when you're taking on a bunch of bloodthirsty, less than human pieces of crap, worthy of each and every expert firearm shot, each filleting by Rambo's knives, all the visceral gut reaming booby traps, skull obliterating shotgun blasts, yes human pincushioning by bow and arrow shots against the barn door and finally field dressing the kill for Jeffrey Dahmer steaks to send as condolence gifts to Hugo Martínez's mom for her naughty son's dirty pimping deeds!
Personally I would love to see a movie where Rambo kicks ass at a nursing home for old people.

Adding that old yeller death scene was top shelf golden humor I was rolling with hardy gut laughter I’m still giggling at it thanks
IMO: That seemed like a projection of the reviewer, for me that scene was sad and poignant and I had no biases going into the movie so that helped alot.
Rambo: A story about a Vietnam veteran struggling to come back into civilian life. Ends with John having a complete breakdown about the friends that he lost.
What everyone thinks Rambo is:
GUNS! EXPLOSIONS! WARRRRR!
To be fair the movie wasn't exactly book faithful on that plot, so I can see why.
@Kristy Kelly I'm getting the strong impression that you haven't actually seen First Blood. Your summation of the plot tells me you've only read/heard generalizations about it (bad ones at that) or you've only seen highlight clips. The "Why" for the things you bring up is in the film. On a side note, last I checked, Rambo was very much trying not to kill those guys in the woods. The physical first blood was even drawn by accident.
I'd be happy with First Blood and John Rambo. As the only two films tbh.
Only one death in First Blood and he falls from the helicopter.
@Kristy Kelly You did not over simplify, you mischaracterized and then reduced the entire film to that mischaracterization. Rambo: First Blood is certainly silly in some respects, but let's not pretend it was not dealing with real world issues. Saying that it was "over-rated" is fair enough, but that's not really where you left it, is it? In fact, one might argue that your complaint about Rambo's over-done action and what-not is the same thing you did with your overblown rant, making you as guilty as the film for exaggeration and hyperbole.
So don't get defensive when people call you out on your own over-the-top and not entirely honest "opinion."
This movie is just Batman: Death in the Family just with Rambo.

Honestly, despite how awful some of the acting and the story were, the second half of the movie really made up with its brutal kills and it did get me tear up a bit. So yeah, I didn't expect the movie to have much substance to the story, but I still got a kick out of the movie.
I felt the tunnels were part of his PTSD therapy, since the Vietnam War.
I loved this shxt.
Obviously it wasn't Hitchcock's Rear Window or Les Miserables, but it delivered exactly what I wanted. Last blood was great
It wasn't the best Rambo, but still enjoyable and delivers on the R rated action.
The film moves pretty fast to get you to the action.
@JAMES BOND FAN 007 I mean, some of the bad acting came from his niece and some supporting character, but Rambo and the villains were solid enough.
@JAMES BOND FAN 007 (Hey, I'm also a Bond fan) not expert enough. In end, he didn't have the heart for it.
“Ooooh, that didn’t age well...”
AFGHANISTAN LAND OF WARRIORS... all the weapons of US and UK and still the afghan shepherds kicked their arses
Earlier releases had the text "This film is dedicated to the brave mujahideen fighters of afghanistan."
😂
That was when the communist was evil, and Afghanistan taliban noble freedom fighters just fighting against communism.
Your Videos are pretty much more entertaining than most movies coming into cinemas
"The Rambo impostor" 😂😂
"Gets bored and dies"
lmao
IDIOT.
@@scottrobinson5364 no u
That was awesome 😂😂
At least Stallone wasn't trying to relive his porn days....
I still would see it.
Who knows what would be better.
if margot robbie was co staring id be up for watching it
What movies did you watch? Cocky Ballboa and Bimbo?
Porn days you say🤔
9:29 "But anyway, Gabriella gets bored and dies.." 😂
The Rambo franchise shouldve ended with Rambo 4..it was a perfect ending with the character made peace within himself & returned home to live out the rest of his old days........but NO...just dont know when to stop...smh!!!
"Kids were hardcore back in the 80's, man." Yes we were
Mike Dalton Oh hell yeah. 426 Hemi ‘Cudas, Olds 442’s Hurst editions, Road Runners with 440 six-packs, Shelby Cobra Mustangs GT500’s.... hardcore? I turned low 11’s in a 455ci Olds Hurst 442... and I was just playin’ around.
And we had MD20/20, 151 Bacardi, Old No. 7, and Schlitz Malt Liquor to ease the shifters. Oh yeah. We were hardcore.

And: "Gabriela gets bored and dies." LMAO
So... Rambo talked her to death?
Man I feel really bad that this had to exist, I never thought I'd say a rambo movie sucked,feels like blasphemy,these r truly dark times
Sadly if I remember correctly Stallone wanted to make this version of Rambo for some time. If memory serves correctly I first heard about Rambo faces the drug cartels before the turn of the century. I honestly believe the addition of the title Last Blood was just a marketing ploy. The saddest part is you're right. It wanted to have the same kind of impact as the original movie. But it went above and beyond failing.
For an exercise watch the final scene with Troutman and Rambo in the first movie. Amazingly it showed something in too many cases Stallone never lived up to, a guy that could really act. The pain his character showed in that moment was beyond visceral. It showed a man who had lost everyone he ever loved. Only to come home and find out that the country he had done it for found him less than worthless. It literally took all of the action that had occurred and gave it a very clear context. This movie just expected you care. To quote our reviewer, "Why, Don't know!" It never once gave me a reason to feel invested in any of them. Even the "so called hero" was so vague that he could have been literally any family man.
Love them or hate them the Rambo movies always sold mainly on one thing. The main character John J. Rambo. Oh the action was great. But, it was that deeply wounded soul that kept you riveted to the story. This man who was literally the walking wounded, who simply would not give up and die. I've got to agree with ya that character never showed up here. Ya know all those monologues he did, well ya mite even have used one of them to transition us to the current day. Something along the lines of a deeply wounded John looking to heal came home to these people that slowly helped him to some extent find his way home. You could have probably done the same with some additional scenes. The point is it would have made "the new Rambo" at least make some sense. It would also have done allot to create a investment in the supporting characters. Hell it would have even made the one characters death a very believable catalyst for the at least partial return the character we had seen so many times before. Instead we got something that could have been called "pseudo family man gets pissed the movie."
At least Willis has Alimony to Demi as a excuse why he has to keep making the oh so forgettable movies he's making. Stallone just ends up feeling like a desperate older guy that just can't get the world has moved on without him. If this had even been made it the franchise's hey day it would have been a flop. Which says allot considering how hard it jumped the frigging shark in it's prime. It makes ya feel bad in some ways for him. Instead of gracefully walking away with a legacy as both an actor and a writer that would have well outlived him. He took a hard dump on it himself, just to get a few more minutes of screen time. Even sadder is by all accounts Stallone is supposed to actually be a very smart man. Just goes to prove in smart people can do really stupid things.
I can think of a reason Rambo built the tunnels in only two words - "Doomsday Prepper". Those are the kind of people who would definitely do that and and a PTSD war vet is certainly plausible to be a doomsday prepper.
''I take no joy in this''
Me when I wake up in the morning
I feel like I'm pretty callous to half silly seriously depressing stuff like this. But I felt that. That hurt. Probably because I more or less relate to it.
I laughed none the less.
The fact Gabby basically gets abandoned twice by her Father, then raped and drugged to death really makes me wonder if someone hated her actress on a personal level.
LOL!! I die every time he says, "Rambo Imposter."
I’m betting there’ll be a “Rambo: New Blood” when Rambo trains someone new...Already has been done with Rocky and Creed
I'm betting a fucking kidney that it's a woman
(Because current year)
Don't give Hollywood any more bad ideas
VietnamD0820. Rambo dies there In the rocking chair. The scenes from the previous movie at the end were his life flashing before his eyes. And the final scene of him riding oft Into the sunset was symbolic of him crossing over to the other side as he finally dies. A fitting send off really. In my opinion. I can't believe nobody else can figure It out.
VietnamD0820 YOU SIR, have predicted a horrible future. However, I'll bet you are CORRECT A MUNDO; as the Fonz used to say back in the mid seventies!!! LOL!
Nope, Stallone is in his 70's, he's not doing that.
"Oh, that didn't age well." Remember that time James Bond helped Osama Bin Laden out of prison and started a revolution that led to the fall of the USSR?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh! hey look its Elvis. (runs franticly away from the scene)
which James Bond film was that?
@@Jinseual Yeah, it was The Living Daylights. And despite how the subject matter hasn't aged well, it's still my favorite Bond film.
@@maxis2k Thats your favorite? Man, your standards are low.
I'd say it was worth it in that case
Loved this movie. 🤷♂️ He's always fun to watch even with bad movies.
In order to avoid being labelled as a rip-off of Taken, they had to change a few things; the hero has to get defeated at his first encounter with the kidnappers, and the girl he saved had to end up dying.
And it went unexpected places as a result. Rambo tried really hard to go in and solve it without murdering everything in existence. He tried to save her but it was too late. People are saying "take her to a hospital" but he couldn't or they both would die. He was trying to get her somewhere safe, over the border, before the Cartel came after them and it was too late.
That was the angriest "Go away now" of all the episodes I've watched thus far. You can really taste the pain and resentment.
Expectation: Logan
Reality: A straight-to-video Steven Seagal flick
@Sad but True It's great! Even better if you have watched other movies too.
@Sad but True it's fantastic. Not your typical superhero movie at all. And it works perfectly well as a stand alone movie, assuming a basic knowledge of the X-Men universe.
@Sad but True As somebody who also grew up with Wolverine as his favorite character, I'd encourage you to do it. The only things it has in common with the previous movies are Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, both of whom deliver remarkable performances.
I liked Logan, but Rambo Last Blood gets ahead as it doesn't end with passing the torch to the new woke generation.
Logan... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You kids and your comics!
The movie was perfectly fine... wasn't amazing,but good. The struggle never ends for someone who refuses to stay passive.
I first saw Last Blood part 3 in 2009. When i saw that last message, i laughed hysterically & said "That did NOT age well."
"Gabriela gets bored and dies...."
Did.... did I hear that right?
It sounds like he was writing another Expendables script but Statham and his buddies didn't show up for filming so at the last minute he changed the title to 'Rambo'.
This movie works if you think of it as the dreams of an aging Rambo as he sits in a rocking chair in a retirement home, daydreaming about what he would be doing if his body wasn’t broken from a lifetime of being a soldier.
"Gabriella gets bored and dies" had me smiling. And while I will say the movie definitely deserved to be more and have more. The part where she dies and he's trying to console her before she does had me sad. I feel like his acting chops had definitely increased over the years. And i see that in "creed" where his character also gets me emotional a few times. If I see Stallone feeling it. I feel it. I just liked the moment is all.
"Journalist Lady" Looks more like Rambo than Rambo.
Nice haircut lol
@EthnoEuropean's CountriesAreBeingInvaded and named her Reinbow
Weird. She has a younger Stallone’s eye structure.
You've lost your mind.
The last of the Rambo series: "Coagulated Blood."
hehe or Rambo: Last Urine
The bad guy in that film could be Colonel Aspirin.
Rambo 1&4 are a perfect pair. I could take or leave 2&3, 5 is some sort of weird tribute to both Home Alone and Saw.
Last Blood is like some disturbed, drug-induced crossover wattapad fanfic of Home Alone, Man of Fire, Taken and Saw.
If any of you have watched the Rambo 4 movie interview, Stallone was talking about how he was waiting to make this movie when he was the right age. It doesn't feel like a Rambo movie because of the setting and the character development. I totally disagree with this video. Rambo last blood has a much more thoughtful story than some of the previous.
That "Go away now" was a lot harsher than normal. That movie upset you that much, huh? :(
I totally think the last movie outshined Last blood, but the 'Home Stallone' murder spree at the end was fantastic.
Rambo was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, by a 100 times. I've seen it half a dozen times and still find myself incredibly entertained. Last Blood I only finished because I knew the entire movie was setup for the good bits in the last 10 min :( Embarrassingly bad overall.
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 I completely agree. Rambo felt like a John Rambo movie. This could have been any Stallone movie. Now of course I enjoyed the final act. I love gore and violence. But the story telling was pretty lame.
Sure the ending was good if you just into blood and Gore with no real story or plot. The last 10 minutes are just a typical 80s horror movie.
home stallone! lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo
Yes, the ultimate tension and aggression release. Take it out on those cartel assholes who deserve to get blown to bits!
I thought the Mexican housekeeper was going to show up at the end and start nursing him back to health.
That would have given her character a decent story.
It would also explain how Rambo lives through the damage he took and was able to make another movie in a few years.
You are the best thing to happen to film reviews ever.
"But then a kindly plot device shows up..." Gotta hand it to you, Drinker, you suave, understated mogul of deconstruction, you.
"HE'S A MAN NOT A GOD!" - Rambo The Video Game
Also Rambo the Video Game: where tf do I go, all these screens look the same, and I keep having to stab snakes and giant wasps with my knife.
Oh, wait, that's the NES one.
Come on, comrade!
Nah, it had it's moments, I was entertained. The character was 69 according to his driver's license, I never expected him to be a Green Beret in his prime again. Some of the dialogue was silly and clichéd, but I wasn't expecting too many mind-blowing lines. The old woman and the journalist were bad characters, but I suspect, that some of their scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. The old woman could've stuck around for the firefight (maybe pick off a few cartel members from afar with a scoped rifle or something, showing her to be a good marksman, as many red state ladies are) or brought help from the town. It could've been a nice twist on the plot of the first movie: Rambo fights cop VS cops fight on Rambo's side.
About the villains: LiveLeak or any dime a dozen gore site is full of cartel execution videos. These dudes were bronies compared to the real deal.
And First Blood (the movie) was not dumb, that last scene with Trautman was incredible, it made many a man shed a tear. I'm not American, but I know what Nam vets went through when they returned. Even wheelchair-bound double amputees were verbally abused, spat on and called baby killers by filthy, Fifth Column hippies carrying Viet Cong flags. The South Vietnamese refugees were abused as well. The novel, where the raging Rambo kills indiscriminately before being shot in the back of the head by his former commander, is shallower.
An injustice was perforned. Retribution was enacted, custom knives were used, lots of scum died.
Sounds like a Rambo move to me.
