According to some people who’ve seen this early it really focuses on the PTSD angle and it a much more thought provoking movie then it’s being sold as. it could do well.

Dont know about kill counts, but it seems that fans of Rambo 4's gore have nothing to worry about with this film! - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be really good, I hope it is, but it would have been trashed by critics even without current politics, just like Rambo 4, critics just very rarely like old-school action movies, they've trashed them since 80s, so it doesn't mean anything. This is general audience movie anyway with the specific fan-base, critics won't affect its box office, especially with late embargo.

stuart360 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Lets be honest here guys, its an SJW run world we live in, and this film has a mans man oozing masculinity, going around and killing Mexicans. Critics are going to destroy it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Heatnix Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Can't wait to see the RT consensus for this one... "Filled with toxic masculinity, this new entry might satisfy the gorehounds but offers nothing else to root for." "Irresponsible, irritating and toxic. Not even Rambo can save himself from bloodletting" "Too much testosterona, too much gore, too much violence. Too much, even for Rambo" I still think some reviews will mention the scene where explosions make some kind of "wall" and will say this one resembles the wall that Trump wants to build against the mexicans ( who are the villains in the movie ). I'll be surprised if they don't say anything about that scene. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Heatnix Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Lmao, I was right. I found this review. It even starts talking about the USA / Mexico relationship... Critics are very predictable. They can't review a damn Rambo movie. They need to bring Trump in. lol https://www.tnp.sg/entertainment/movies/movie-review-rambo-last-blood 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder why their higher ups don't care about hiring people who are actually interested in movie journalism rather than ultra leftist political rants, I'm sure there should be a bunch of competent folks who are interested in this gig.

Then again, given the sequel's content and delicate state of US-Mexico relations, it is no surprise they chose another location. That movie was planned to shoot in bulgaria since at least 2008, shooting was supposed to start in 2010 (https://web.archive.org/web/20080323173248/http://www.moviehole.net/news/20080320_rambo_5_to_film_in_bulgaria.html😞 http://www.nuboyanafilm.com/ Filmography List This list contains a small sample of projects over the last 10 years. UPCOMING YEAR STUDIO/DISTRIBUTOR Kane & Lynch 2010 Millenium Films Rambo V 2010 Millenium Films Like most Millenium film do: Angel Has Fallen (2019) Filming Locations Sofia, Bulgaria Hellboy (2019) Filming Locations Nu Boyana Film Studios, Sofia, Bulgaria Hunter Killer (2018) Filming Locations Bulgaria That where Stallone made all is expendable movies as well, I would imagine they offer good expertise, installation at a good price. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilikemovies1130 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 John Rocha seems to have loved the movie, and another certified critic gave it a positive review but broke the embargo so it’s removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's a part of it but I also think these critics just know that in today's climate they're going to get a bounty of clicks if they include some juicy political commentary. There are probably several of them who aren't nearly as passionate about the things they're saying as they seem. In some cases they probably truly don't give a crap, but they know they're stirring the pot so they write it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of them seriously believe in that crap, beyond clickbait titles they barely mention the movie itself, it even feels like political attack (or vice versa) on RT score. And the worst part is that many people blindly look at the percentage, but not reviews, so they don't even consider the possibility of political bias and stupid complaints that has nothing to do with the actual quality. In much better world RT would get rid off percentage and AR because of all that and would just post links to reviews.

I've said that before and basically the replies I would get were that it would take time to actually read a review so they don't want to do that 😛 I get this would be the right place do that "ain't nobody got time for that" gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I see the predictability of the critics is already panning out. Don't care, saw it coming. I have my tickets for tomorrow night all the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
