Rambo IV rocks my world

Rambo IV should be rated "RA" for RIDICULOUSLY ASS-KICKING. This movie is so awesome that it should be mandatory viewing for everyone. Everyone above three should watch this movie. I rate this movie high, simply because I too harbour murderous thoughts of running amok with a high caliber machine gun, meting out justice now and then.

Speaking of which, I am tired of movies with a twist ending. Why does every movie need to have a twist ending? To show off how smart is the scriptwriter? Ooh, I can see dead people (6th Sense) or the characters have been dead but don't realise it (The Others) or the person is actually my father! (gasp - Wanted, Star Wars). The mother of all twist endings movies is of course, Saw I - IV. We expect a twist ending in every Saw movie; so much that when it did not happen, we actually fall out of our chair with shock. But since Saw, it seems like every movie I watched strived for a twist ending, no matter how ridiculous or contrived it is.

This is why I love Rambo movies. Rambo II was the first movie I watched in a theatre. My dad brought me to watch it; the memory of watching Rambo kicking the whole Vietnamese Army's asses is something which will stay with me for the rest of my life.

There is nothing complicated about Rambo IV. No twist ending, no complicated plot or love story. It is just someone killing everyone in sight in the most brutal way possible. Heads are blown off, bodies blown to pieces, guts are spilled. You know, the usual. It is literally, bloody brilliant. The movie is about Rambo trying to save a bunch of idiot Christians who think that they can just walk into hostile territory to distribute medicine and bibles. We can all guess the plot: the Christians got captured and tortured, and Rambo, being the general nice guy, turned out politely to save them. Of course, "politely" means with a big ass knife that chopped off a guy's head in one blow, and his trusty bow that can probably kill Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk. Iron Man clearly had nothing on John Rambo.

After watching Rambo for more than 20 years, I don't know what can kill Rambo - maybe Godzilla, Ultraman, Super Mario Brothers (with power ups), Jackie Chan before he became crap, Superman, Superman's father and that gay guy from "Project Runway". Then maybe, just maybe, Rambo could be hurt. I wouldn't bet on it though since they may just make him angry. And then, things may really get ugly.
