the Rambo as I always found it too politically motivated movie!
Same. "First Blood" was really good, because it was about a pychologically disturbed Vietnam Vet who was mistreated when after returned from the war. But when he went back to Vietnam to "redeem" himself in the second movie, it was way too much.
I gave up on the Rocky movies after about the second or third one. Whihcever one had Mr T in it. It was really getting tired by then. I wish Stallone hadn't gotten himself so wrapped up in making sequels, back in the day.
what are your reviews on the spartans movie?
by sefati (not verified) on Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:53 AM PSTI wanted to go see the movie but last time I saw a movie like that I fell asleep becasue the humor was not my kinda of humor...any good reviews on this movie?
Also I am personally over Rambo movies. When Stallone made Rocky Balboa, I rushed to watch it the first night. But not too crazy about the Rambo as I always found it too politically motivated movie!
In the trailer it says "live for nothing or die for something"...that really bothers me!
