well, this does look somewhat promising! i am hoping that this is going to follow the pattern set out by the excellent Rocky Balboa, which is to say that with some luck Rambo will go back to the story driven roots of the original film, First Blood, rather than follow the cartoonesque, over the top nature of the sequels.that said, early word on this film is that it is exceptionally violent. apparently a rough and ready trailer, and indeed some footage, has been available out there for a month or so now. the indications from that are that we can expect a return to the action scenes so popular (and rightly so) in 80's movies.
2007 has been a somewhat dour year for cinema, so at least 2008 is going to start off with a film of interest, i guess. at least it seems they are sticking with the name "Rambo" alone - i believe there were suggestions of "Rambo At The Gates Of Hell" or something equally silly.
i recently, for reasons i am not prepared to discuss here, had to endure High School Musical 2 on the Disney channel. i will wager that i shall enjoy this film somewhat more.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
