Rambo movie review - Aussieboyreviews
WILL FANS AGREE THAT RAMBO IS TOO VIOLENT FOR TEENS?
Who wouldn’t agree that Rambo 2008 isn’t just the most violent Rambo movie, but one of the most violent movies ever? The fourth instalment of Rambo is enjoyable and entertaining, but the violence is extreme.

Aussie boy's thoughts
The unbelievably extreme violence and battles are definitely in the restricted zone, but it completely suits John Rambo’s style. In 2008’s Rambo, Sylvester Stallone returns to battle for an entire load of graphic action, heavy on machine guns and high-level in explosive gore.
Now, the cinematography of the film is excellent. The battle sequences are obviously insanely violent, with a muscly Sylvester Stallone stylishly kicking ass. But beside the action is a well-crafted plot that’s visually striking and goes perfect with the choice of soundtrack.
The story itself is not consistently entertaining, but fans will discover it’s fairly enjoyable and unfolds at a decent pace. However, there’s a lot of content in this movie that isn’t for the faint-hearted or the squeamish, and Rambo definitely wins – fatality.
