RAMBO4, was the best in the whole saga, and my favorite film next to Beowulf for a long time.

F**cking Odeon, probably read the lame RT Tomatometer written by stale old film critics. Wish that RT had a better RT review section where the actual public decide whats good or not. Not some overpayed magazine reviewers that are no more right than you or I, and no more wrong. If they opened up the review percentage to all of us, im sure it would have been at 100% Where it belongs.

Probably thought it was too violent to show at their Odeons, well if thats the case, they should stop making war movies, because WAR IS VIOLENT! Thats the whole idea.

I just want to point out that film journalists of any kind are never overpaid. Never, never overpaid. We are paid, yes, but not OVERpaid. We're not quite in the same league as the movie stars we cover.

We do actually have a user score for Rambo. It's currently sat at 77% as you can see here:

such a site is called imdb, there you can find reviwes by normal ppl^^

before i went to rambo, i read both imdb reviews and RT. and the film was really inbetween. it wasnt bad nor was it that great (it need less gun fight and more sneak from out of the mud/water/shadow/tree/f**kincrocodile^^)

stupid odeon

I would agree, Rambo 4, coulda done with more sneaking around, ala Rambo 1 & 2. But i wouldnt sacrifice a single bullet or arrow to show it, hopefully a Longer extended cut will be out on dvd.

And Joe Utichi, my appologies for saying you were overpaid, im just sore that RT reviewers gave a great film a bad rap, and with odeon helping it to become a flop angers me. everyone i know both in reality and on ign forums thought it kicked *** too, so you understand when a handfull of RT reviewers nay say about a film which the rest of us seemed to have loved, it kinda sends out the wrong reputation. The whole thing about these forums and movies is sharing a great experience, thats why we love movies and recomend our favorites, nay saying puts people off especially when it goes public and high profile like on RT. Thank god for imdb. But dont take what i said personal.

Not at all, you're entirely entitled to your opinion. Just clearing up the salary myth, because myth it is! As a matter of fact, I personally adored Rambo, but I thought it was the best two-star movie ever made. It's fantastic if you get into the spirit of it, but it's not what critics or, indeed, standards, would consider a perfect movie. It's no criticism to say it's the best two-star movie ever made. In fact I'd argue that makes it more enjoyable and more watchable than many movies i'd consider to be five-star movies.
