Well, if you are going into Rambo looking for things like plot, realism, drama, coherent story etc. you will be very disappointed.
If you go in looking for over the top action, cartoonish villains and non-cartoonish violence you will be satisfied.
Although the bad-guys have plenty of dialogue, none of it is subtitled. Obviously this was an intentional choice. I wonder if Stallone thought people would find it easier to watch brutal violence when the victims (innocent or not) are jabbering away in a language you don't understand? An unintended side-effect: I'm sure a lot of YouTube footage with hilarious sub-titles will appear.
This is probably the goriest action movie I've ever seen. It really is worse than Saving Private Ryan. Needless to say, all the violence/gore is gratuitous.
Stallone wanted to highlight the atrocities taking place in Burma because of it's long standing civil war. The opening few minutes of the movie do just that. In the end that message gets buried under piles of bodies and buckets of blood.
While most of my comments are kind of negative, I did like the movie for what it was. Like Rambo - a killing machine.
