Great movie. Shame they turned Rambo into a shitty brainless action franchise after that.

The stereotype of Rambo serious fucks with your expectations of the movie. I was caught off guard when watching First Blood.
>>67759930
what did they expect to happen enlisting during a war? PTSD isnt easy but its a mistake to not think you or your best friend could go at anytime
>>67759969

Rocky, Rambo and The Matrix are my holy trinity of great films that DID NOT. NEED. SEQUELS.

Yeah I saw it on tv and it still had the praise of the Mujahadeen a while back.
>>67760061
forgot about that, sorry pham.
So he can't reintegrate into society because he is broken from war or is it because of the view nam backlash?
Or he could of gotten an administrative position in the military after?
I think he was a drifter because of ptsd but then he says he can't get a job parking cars so apparently he has been trying to reintegrate into society but just gave up.

The US has a long history of treating it's veterans like dogshit.
Hurt locker was basically the same movie. The idea being you can't spend thousands of manhours conditioning a person to be a soldier, then expect them to be perfectly functional drones.
>>67760101

Suck a nigger's dick.
>>67759930
I wish I had a best friend to have a chance to have his intestines blow up in my face and remember him fondly
First Blood is a masterpiece
>>67758247
It was a really rough scene. Stallone was fantastic.
>>67760040
>Implying Rocky isn't the most consistently good movie franchise of all time
i havent seen Creed, but only 5 was bad. That's one hell of a track record.
>>67759234
Because the first one followed the book pretty closely... all the way until Rambo was supposed to die. The movie kept him alive and so the shellshocked veteran turned into an action hero.
>>67758247
women will NEVER understand this movie
>>67760218
>GoT fag
Fuck off back to tumblr
>>67760819
5 wasn't as bad as people give it flack for being. Rocky 3 and 4 weren't even Rocky movies. Rocky had always been a low IQ bum that stammered and made stupid jokes. That's the Rocky we got in 1, 2, 5, 6 and Creed. Rocky 3 and 4 was a caricature of Rocky. Try marathoning them some day, you'll immediately feel how out of place 3 and 4 are and 5 will suddenly seem like a comfy return to normalcy.
>>67760171
The US shits on anyone it deems too 'weak', anyone not completely willing and able to make money for some rich fuck. The "MUH SOLDIERS FIGHTING FOR MUH FREEDOMS!" crap is just a tirade to make them feel better about themselves.
>>67760984
How did you like Rocky 4?
>>67761215I've never seen it.
>>67761233
Called it, you goddamn communist.
>>67761283
What difference does it make? We're talking about Rambo. The US treats its boxers pretty shit as well. The cold war wasn't won with a fucking boxing match, anon.
>>67761322

I'm sure on some planet your style is impressive, but your weak link is: this is Earth.
>>67761497
So if we made a film where Rocky beats up a Muslim ISIS is just going to back down and turn to Christianity and white values?
You're a fucking idiot.I wasn't even talking about the Rocky series.

>>67760122
Fine, fine I'll concede this.
>>67760981
the ony thing i didnt like about rocky 5 was when stallone kept mumbling and stuttering through his lines as if rocky had brain damage, which they then backpedaled on in 6 anyway.
Otherwise, it was pretty solid.

>>67760984
no, it's a trick. A lure.
The moment you arrive to bootcamp after being lured by call of duty and bayformers and free college you think to yourself, "well maybe this wasn't such a good idea" then after a while you start to take a certain pleasure in it.
But then. Then they ship your volunteering ass to a warzone and you start to lose friends, limbs, sanity. This is not what you signed up for. Then four years of constant war later you leave and realize hey wait a minute, nothing feels right, none of these people even value their lives so disrespectful, so dishonest, so concerned over shit that doesn't matter, and that's as far as it goes if you're lucky.
but if you get limbs blown off? If your vehicle gets hit with an IED and you wake up wearing half of someone else's face, and you look over and you see your best friend from bootcamp torn in half like the hulk fucked him? it gets to you.
Then you go home, get forced to live in the streets, get spit on by college kids for being a welfare queen on their way to a protest for free healthcare, free college, and a 50$ minimum wage.
why fucking bother.
The worst part is, Used to be cripples had a place working in society. Then we gave them welfare and suddenly they're rolling around trying to sue every place without a ramp because they're on the dole and have nothing else to do.
>>67762416
>The worst part is, Used to be cripples had a place working in society. Then we gave them welfare and suddenly they're rolling around trying to sue every place without a ramp because they're on the dole and have nothing else to do.
You're an idiot. They aren't lazing about because they have welfare, they're lazing about because nobody is willing to give them a job since nobody gives a shit about "the weak" anymore.
The disabled are the most worthy of welfare, vets as well. This will be the case until HR departments stop seeing a wheelchair or crutches as a liability.
>>67759948
Mostly because there is no grizzled old Rambo, only roided up plastic Stallone.
>>67759991
I'm surprised they didn't change it to Israel settlers struggling against Syrian commies.
>>67762530
it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Kind of how this new generation of trans kids are told by their two gay pedophile parents that they are actually not a boy but a girl.

That movie could have been excellent if they had gotten an actual actor instead of Stallone. His rant at the end could have been god tier, if it weren't for Sly hamming it up completely.
>>67756417
This doesn't make sense. No none can fly a helo AND drive a tank.
>>67763225
Fuck you! I hope for your sake that you're 14 or something. Stallone owned both the cold hardness required for the role and the complete and utter frailty and vulnerability that came with it.
>>67763225
>jarheads
>articulate orators
pick one
>>67763361
No, he really didn't. The role required the things you've listed, and more, and Stallone managed to capture nothing, because he's, well, just not a very good actor. The man is a talented screenwriter and has screen presence to some extent, but when he has to deal with any emotions, especially complex ones like the ones conveyed in Rambo, he's got the grace of an elephant in a porcelain room.
>>67756417
Is this really how America treats its war veterans?

I can respect the thinking behind it. We tried to stabilize Afghanistan which was a hotbed of clandestine terrorist activity with aid from the de facto taliban government.
Saddam said they had WMDs and threatened to cuck the USA at every chance they had. Maybe he shouldnt have tried to look tough so his people wouldnt have shot him.
Of course they were both disasters but the US couldnt have known that before hand. Nobody knew what a clusterfuck the middle east was

I didn't even imply that, but sure thing, kid.
>>67764266
Playing a role like Rambo effectively takes skill and talent. To be able to convey emotional blankness required for Rambo, you need a serious actor. Stallone was just very poor in that role, sorry.
>>67764213
>blowback
but did they reach out to brown, rather than to yellow?
>>67764121
The Vietcong would have allowed him more dignity than this image.
>>67764501
The original use of Middle East meant Central Asia, but in modern use the Middle East refers to the area between Egypt and Iran, so Afghanistan would not be included.
>>67765077
Afghanistan is incorporated into the "Greater Middle East" though
Basically you are being an obnoxious contrarian cunt trying to derail the discussion.
>>67759815

I feel the exact same about the first Rocky film. While I don't 'hate' the sequels, they tarnish the first film.
