Critique The Critic: Rambo

This critic first basically sums up the whole movie, and compares it to some of the other Rambo movies, and things that Stallone has made before. In fact, this critic seems to rely a lot on his other works. The critic points out that Stallone is “at it again.” Basically saying that there is not much of anything new, but still Stallone is really the only actor that play this role. The critic really doesn't seem to pleased by the acting, script, or plot for that matter, but thinks that there wasn't really much more to expect than what was shown. Stallone's movies haven't really been about that part of films; they have been more about the action, and the critic says that there really is no shortage of that. The action is intense and great if you like that, but some of the bloodshed is over the top. The violence in the movie is what is needed to make the movie good, but some of it is chilling with explosions, gore, rape and blood all over the place making it almost disturbing. It would definitely not be good for a kid to see it, and there is a lot of foul language as well. It is rated R, but some of it is just nasty. The critic thinks that Stallone might continue after this as it seemed somewhat short, and there wasn't really a conclusive ending so to speak, but overall it was an alright movie. Nothing amazing, but not terrible either. I agree for the most part with this critic. It really was exactly what I was expecting it to be. I knew the acting would not be the best and the whole movie would be somewhat cheesy, but the action was some of the best I have ever seen. It was a little bit gory, but I am used to that kind of stuff. The movie was in two parts; one that described the plot, and the second half was non stop action, which was awesome. I didn't think it was the best movie either like the critic said. In fact, I would probably give it 2 and a half stars because it was a little short, and there wasn't much drama, which it could have used a little more of to make the characters more involved. I have seen some of the other Rambo movies, and I really like Stallone's character. It seems like the critic appreciates what he has been doing, and seems to think that he will continue to act, but as for me I don't think he will. I thought he would be done when he did the last Rocky movie. This critic seemed to think that all the violence was bad, and I agree, but the effects of when people died were some of the coolest, and probably the best that I have ever seen in a movie. That is the part of the movie that stood out to me. I don't think I will remember this movie in the future very much because it was just kind of an average movie that didn't really bring anything new to the table, but the gore effects were out of this world. In conclusion, I was satisfied with this movie, but just like the critic, I got what I expected from watching it, and therefore I guess it was not better that good.
