Rambo

Title: Rambo
Year: 2008
Director: Sylvester Stallone
Writers: Art Monterastelli & Sylvester Stallone; character by David Morrell
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz
Music: Brian Tyler
Length: 92 minutes
Synopsis: rescue the good guys, kill the bad guys, the end
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix), June 2008
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay).
Objective Rating: 6/10 (points off for story, characters, dialog and music) c. 2.3/4 (Okay).

Not as good as Rocky Balboa, which is saying a lot since this is much more the sort of movie I tend to like. Worth seeing for the exploding people, though. If you see this as the fourth part of a series, you can even see some interesting character development. If you see it as its own movie (or maybe as a sequel to First Blood), then Rambo's just there, being a badass.
