[aegisx]

Wow its bloody.

The introduction of this character in the movie "First Blood" was very different in tone from where the series went after that. This installment looks much more like "Rambo III" than "First Blood." It will just be an excuse for a bunch of graphic kills, if the sneak peek footage is representative.

 

[linthat22]

Wow, call me disappointed. Looks like a lot of killing and not much story. How much more graphic can you make it? Slicing a persons belly open wasn't enough, they had to show him shooting some guy into hamburger. Seems to over the top for me. With as bad as Stallone looks in the face, I say this flick is headed for B movie stardom.

 

[Jerm357]

I think it looks great. My kind of movie.

 

[Roger Lococco]

looks like a Chuck Norris Missing In Action movie from '85.

 

[KLAATUWI]

I just watched the preview.

I feel I just watched the entire movie.

I hope I'm wrong. This.... is a teaser?

 

[Rammitinski]

Of course in this one also, he will be shot at thousands of times with rapid-fire machine guns and never get hit once, while he will hit every bad guy with the first shot he takes.

 

[Matt_Stevens]

The reel isn't supposed to be high on story. It's meant to be high on the killing count to attract investors who want action. This is wowing them at Cannes.


Remember, the public at large isn't mean to see this footage and the film is still shooting.

 

[archiguy]

Guess they're "shooting" in Australia since Sly just got busted there for steroids/HGH. Had to pay a $10,000 fine.

Given what else is wowing them at Cannes, I will discount any opinion from those yahoos.

They're people who love movies and are intimately involved with producing them. Film is their life. Why, oh why would we, as movie lovers ourselves, pay any attention to the news from the world's most influential film festival?


Oh, I forgot. They don't all slavishly adhere to your political/social viewpoint. Guess that makes them "yahoos", all right.

 

[IAM4UK]

arch, they're not "yahoos" because they disagree with me; rather, they disagree with me because they're "yahoos."

But seriously, you seem to be making some assumption about my completely vague reference to "what else is wowing them at Cannes."

 

[Gary McCoy]

IMHO Sly is getting a little old for action pictures, no matter how many facelifts, belly lifts, hair dyes, or steroids he consumes.


arch, I gotta say that the films that get praised at Cannes have fooled me more than once. Now I understand that when it sounds like a good film and Cannes gives it an upcheck, it doesn't mean I won't want two hours of my life back afterwards.


Of course, anybody that goes to a film with "Rambo" in the title is not entitled to complain afterwards.

[Digital2004]

looks gruesome indeed

rated R likely. good

though we've become so used to violent movies, there's an inevitable crescendo.

but some adult stuff vs indigestion of CGI: i'm all for it. let's go back to basics: either movies with great inovative scripts (CHILDREN OF MEN, NE LE DIS A PERSONNE, even SUNSHINE) and some down to earth raw stuff like THE HUNTED or now RAMBO IV.

 

[Star56]

THe juxtaposition of the prayer of St. Francis with brutal violence is interesting.

 

[Matt_Stevens]

When I say wowing them, I am talking about the distributors and buyers from all over the world who come to bid on movie rights.

Maybe those French are coming around after all. They recently showed some sense as a nation, and now their country's famed film festival selected a Palm d'Or winner that seems truly intriguing, if revolting. I won't get into it here, for the sake of the thread. BTW, that other movie that got so much buzz at Cannes has a trailer up...I watched it and will admit it looked humorous.

Sly is my hero. Praise the Lord.
