Rambo: Last Blood (2019) Movie Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- The flick is just dull and boring...other than maybe 5 minutes in the finale in the tunnels...but that's it.
This movie drew first blood...and I'm the one who draws LAST.
The Rambo films are my favorite franchise...I love ALL FOUR of them. But this one? Sadly, Rambo: Last Blood is what I feared. A pointless, forgettable affair. The only action of the film is at the last 15 minutes and you saw all of that in the trailers (both the red band and the other trailers).
One note villains that are forgettable 5 seconds after finishing the movie. Even at 90 minutes this flick was a chore to sit through and I'm one of the biggest Rambo fans out there. This flick doesn't feel like a Rambo film. It's like Sly had a script and then just changed it to Rambo.
What happens in the first hour? Hell, I'll tell you know (spoilers).
Rambo tries to save people in a cheap looking flood. He only saves one. Maybe one scene deals with anything PTSD when he is in the tunnels (why he has tunnels when I don't remember one single moment or dialogue in the previous flicks mentioning he was a tunnel rat or such? I have zero idea). The teen girl, who I care nothing for, goes to Mexico to find her dad even after Rambo says it's dangerous AND was told her mother was beaten by the guy. In other words...this girl is a dumb FUCK.
Girl sees her dad, is taken, Rambo goes down there, gets beaten up, a random journalist finds him who is in the flick for 5 minutes, he heals, kills like 4 people with a hammer which you say in the trailer, gets the girl and the girl dies from drug overdose...thus making the movie even more pointless.
That's over an hour of the movie...of a fuckin RAMBO movie. You can talk about First Blood but even that had more action (the motorycle chase, fighting the cops in the police station, hunting the officers in the woods) than this.
Now...the ending. Honestly? People say 'the last 15 minutes' but I would say just like 5 Minutes of the last 15 (in the tunnels) are 'over the top gory fun'.
Is a movie worth it for 5 minutes? Hell, wait until the film gets on Blu-ray and someone will rip those 5 minutes and put it on youtube. Or just watch the red band trailer which gives it all away.
Even the score is just recycled music from part 4. And someone told me this was better than part 2 and 3? What?
FUCK this movie.
This is cheap direct to video GARBAGE.
Sly? Please, just retire.
Man You are the only reviewer that anyone can trust on YT. You give your honest and raw opinion without unnecessary skits, background music, lame effects or ads. Just an honest opinion and nothing more. Nobody has to agree with your opinion if they don't want to ( sometimes I don't) but it should be respected. Keep it real man and keep up the good work 👍
That's very kind of you to say, thank you.
Dude you don’t suck you’re a legend of UA-cam.
PlayStation Guy85 butthurt bitch
Don't knock yourself down man, you're probably the realest and most genuine reviewer here.... been watching your videos since 2010!! Lot of us respect your opinion on movies and agree with you on the bullshit the studios release now
Rambo 4 was a great way to end the franchise, it was brutal & didn't give a f**k but no, money money money.
Blame the studios, not Stallone
Jw Nj Exactly!
Absolutely !
Exactly, dude. All because of making a dollar.
The pointless TAKEN angle incorporated into LAST BLOOD,
how dumb is that?
i agree and it was a good clousure fr john rambo and ended the franchise just fine we did not need this sequel and i saw the trailer to this and it did nothing for me good job on the rant matt i had rambo 3 on videocasstte and rambo 3 seemed better than this one
I saw Rambo: Last Blood last night. I don’t understand why this movie is getting so much hate. It is not that bad. 😎🍿
Because to me it wasn't really a Rambo flick. It was boring. To each their own.
@@ramboraph4life There's Rambo we see in the 4th one and the 1st one, and there's Rambo we see in this, No.2 and No.3. They tried to blend it into one, but failed.
I watched it twice in theaters
I watched it on my own and the second time with my family
This will always be my first Rambo movie I watched in theaters ❤️
He is in his 70s and made another Rambo film for his fans. Outstanding. He didn't do it for money.
I watched it twice in theaters
First time I watched it on my own and the second time with my family
Rambo 4 ended the story well
I agree, Rambo 4 was all we needed. As much I enjoy film franchises (the James Bond series is my favorite) you can only go so far with certain characters before things get stale. I still wish Sly Stallone all the best, since at the end of the day he is a human being like all of us and everyone makes mistakes now and again.
@@user-si9fx4xb6v
What about Mission Impossible?
Very well, it ended on a solid level. But the fifth and last Rambo, to me, was like a cheap Fortnite/grindhouse example of fakery.
I thought the idea that he had dug out tunnels on his property was pretty cool, because in First Blood we saw his survivalist skills going through the caves and he's done that so he's prepared for any threat that's coming, like what happens at the end when they all showed up. He had those trap doors set up so he could pop out and shoot the guys. Soldiers dig fox holes. I don't know. It made sense to me.
Not when at the end of Rambo 4 he went home cause his 'war was over' now. Which they then ditch for these boring dull bullshit of a movie.
@@ramboraph4life But to the same point, his 'war was over' at the beginning of Rambo III until Trautman's capture pulled him back in. The point of that movie was him 'going full circle' and just accepting that he was born to be a soldier. He's at home when he's at war. He never fit in with civilian life. He even says it in the first film.
But that was the journey of Rambo 4. He went from 'fuck the world' to finally doing something for a good cause by helping the missionaries...thus gearing him up to finally go home. That's the point of the ending of Rambo 4.
@@ramboraph4life He's living a simple life at the start of Rambo III, giving away his money from the stick fighting to people and helping rebuild a church. Same in Rambo 4 where he's taking people on boat tours. And this time he's at home on his horse ranch where things have been peaceful for 11 years. He seems to be keeping his PTSD together with pills. But in all 3 of these movies that start off with him being passive, someone getting captured is what turns him back into the soldier he is.
I just thought that he had made those tunnels over the past 11 years to be able to defend his home if he ever had to. He's been at war most of his life and to believe he just 'turned it off' when he got home is unlikely.
@@MrCarpen7er Kaiju Soshingeki I totally agree with you. ramboraph4life mentions he went to the cinema to see Rambo last blood he mentioned about the storm at the start of the movie that was cut out of the US release so how did he see that part in the movie, he probably only saw the movie online as a shitty copy. I think he has the brain of a 4-year-old when he does understand about the tunnels, he actually thinks that parts 2, 3 and 4 has a better story he's a joke Rambo last blood might have flaws but its the only story of the franchise that shows the Rambo character growing not just as a soldier but as a human being its showed also that he was a human because he made mistakes, that he can be hurt and can be emotional when the girl who he loves as a daughter is kidnapped, raped and murdered and then after that he goes back to the skills as a soldier a killing machine to get revenge its a different Rambo movie yes also its has more heart to the story than any of the other Rambo movies. The audience score on rotten tomatoes is at 82% this proves that the audience loves this movie.
Besides the five minutes you spoke of, I loved seeing the pictures of his younger self on the walls of his home, and when he finally rescued her I loved it when he thanked her for giving him hope and her crying before she died. I know that the scene probably means nothing to you (and I can understand that, as well as the rest of your rant), but I love seeing him in that light because he's not just some generic action hero. Here are my criticisms, they didn't explain what happened to Trautman, there DEFINITELY should have been mention of his father (I agree with you on that), my ULTIMATE criticism is that he could had his bandana on his head before the final fight. I understand your rant, though. I might come back and edit my comment to add more thought. Thank you for reading
I think your one of the best movie reviewers cus you speak your mind and don’t let others people hate change your mind.
What about Ocpcommunications?
Comparing First Blood to Last Blood is like comparing a masterpiece piecee of art by Picasso....to someone who paints by numbers
You said it, Rambo 4 ended it perfectly. This
And thus one of the most iconic action movie heroes have been crushed by Hollywoods nihilism much more 😢😭😠.
It was just very dull and boring aside from maybe 5 minutes at the end that I liked.
@@ramboraph4life the action felt 5 to minutes long didn't feel like 15 at all to me I'd have had action in the middle then a lengthy finale!
Zeth Bro I dunno if it's Hollywood's nihilism. More like apathy or laziness or both. :-/
No dude, think you're completely wrong. This film shows Rambo settled down for the last 10 years. He has family now, he has purpose, he has a reason to kill again, which is what he is, a killing machine. I enjoyed the whole thing for what it is. I waited 11 years to see this one, there's no bigger Rambo fanatic the me. Each to his own.
First hour was boring as hell. Lame story, instantly forgettable villains, side characters (the teen girl) I didn't give one iota of shit for, a pointless story and a unneeded sequel. The only thing worth it was the 5 minutes in the tunnels and even that was hampered by cartoonish cgi blood and fast cuts. Sorry but to me the film sucked ass. 11 years since Rambo 4 and we get a cheap direct to video garbage movie which was slow paced and boring. To each their own.
Never thought I would see the day Ramboalph would rant on a Rambo film.
I never thought I would see a Rambo film that was boring...and aside from the '5 minutes of Rambo being Jason Voorhees in the tunnels' at the end? This was a very dull and boring film where literally nothing happens in the first hour of the flick.
No shit dude it's sad when your own favorite movies kill your spirit.. its 2019 the death of everything
Matthew Boren yeah and we still have terminator to go
Dude, it was bound to happen sooner or later. lol
Yes
7:25 I think bringing in Rambo's father would have been a very interesting idea, especially as the two would have been trying to re-connect after being estranged for so long [and Rambo found an alternative father figure in Colonel Trautman] and could be an interesting contrast if the father was a soldier in the WW2/Korean war. It probably didn't happen as by the time this film was made the father would have had to be in his 90's but it certainly feels like a missed opportunity.
0:52 Matt, you are a great reviewer. Don’t let anyone tell you different. You don’t have to be the biggest reviewer to be the best reviewer.
"If you don't have any balls-get some from your wife's purse!" Priceless. Great job Matt.
They edited the flash flood sequence out of most territories.
Yeah, that scene was not in the movie when I went yesterday.
I don't remember there being a flood and we were there before it started maybe it's left my brain!
jdog Johnson Me neither. I wonder if he saw a different cut somehow.
From what I understand so far the French and Australian release version is 12 mins longer at 101mins. Compared to UK/US version 89 mins. Was mentioned in imdb trivia bit, then was gone?
There was a flood.
@@Hopium500 There definitely wasn't one in the cut I saw. I was there for the trailers and the beginning of the film, and it wasn't there. Sounds like it didn't add too much to the film anyway, but still, I'd have liked to see it.
Trevor Spencer-Gervois But this guy is from the US. Doesn’t make sense
The scene at the door with the girl's father intimidated me. It's Rambo! Still psycho and scary
Scarier than ever cause you barely understand him cause he mumbles to himself the whole time
I've never seen any of the Rambo movies, but I do like your reviews man, thanks a lot!
Very good review.matt despite I disagree because I didn't really watch the trailers and it was nice for someone like myself to see a Rambo movie on the big screen and it was nice to see Stallone give probably one of his last meaningful performances because after sleeping walking with escape plan sequels and backtrace . it kinda reminded me of death wish with Bruce Willis
You don’t suck at reviews dude. I’ve been watching you for years. You are very entertaining and some of your rants have had me laughing my ass off.
Saw it and as a big fan of Rambo, this was pile of trash.
yea rambo 4 concluded the story btw great vid matt and good ob on therant i evenlike rambo
this film was not needed it was not wanted
rambo 3 is even much better than this i had the video or vhs and i remeber it had the trailer to the howling lol
You know the shit's gonna be bad when they're ripping off TAKEN. XD
@@MrDman21 So true
Dude I feel the exact same way as you. I was heart broken. Your video summed up my feelings 100%. This is why I’m subscribed to you. Thank you for this.
John J. Rambo, was born on 6th April, 1947 in the back of a tractor in Devon, Arizona, to a Native American father (R. Rambo) and an Italian American mother. However, in Rambo: First Blood Part II, Marshall Murdock states that Rambo is of Native American Italian/German descent.
Rambo's farther was in the photos on the wall, you know how I noticed this...because I'm a Rambo Fan.
John was born on July 6th.
Rambo 4 was a great ending, I thought it was best in the series.
I agree with you Matt, this film shouldn't have been made as Rambo 4 ended the franchise perfectly. He was finally cured of his PTSD and made his way back home. This movie has just crapped all over Stallone's legacy.
@@pacmanmcgavin7034 I know but this is way worst than Die Hard 5 and Rocky 5.
Facts
He was never healed from his PTSD, where did that happen?
It just felt like a generic Stallone revenge film where his name is John. And they turned it into a Rambo movie in reshoots.
Caleb Banks that’s exactly what it felt like lol
I thought the movie was really solid. I think u may have enjoyed it more with the theater experience. The audience I saw it with were cheering Rambo on
What would people be cheering about for the first 1 hour and 15 minutes of this flick when nothing happens until the ending and u saw all of that in the trailer?
ramboraph4life I agree the trailer showed too much but that’s not the movie’s fault. There were a few other good action bits like the Hammer scene and when Rambo goes after the first brother ( I’ll admit there should have been a confrontation with the first brother) I’m sorry u didn’t like it because I know how big a Rambo fan u are. I just thought maybe in the theater u might have liked it a little more. For me it definitely wasn’t my favorite in the series but I enjoyed it as a different kind of Rambo film. A good throwback revenge thriller
So What? Siphoning off of other audience members energies does not translate into making a film production itself better.
Chris Prusinowski I don’t disagree with that but I think certain film especially action and horror can be even more fun with the theater experience. If u hate a film it’s not going to make a difference but if you’re enjoying it already I think the audience reaction can enhance that enjoyment. That’s all I’m saying
something that occurred to me is how different things would be plot wise if Rambo had agreed to go to Mexico with his niece instead of trying to change her mind to not go see her father at all. If he saw that she wanted it so badly why not accompany her and protect her all the way through.
Rambo 5 was besides John Wick 3 the best movie this year...and one of Stallones best movies ever.
Sorry but I don't think it's one of his best movies ever. Not even close.
ok, i respect your opinion ,i liked the flick very much
lol
Sorry to disappointed you, pal, but i dont like it either. Like it less than you do.
First Blood Trautman saves Rambo
First Blood Part II Rambo saves POWs
Rambo III Rambo saves Trautman
Rambo 08' Rambo saves Missionaries
Rambo V Rambo saves no one.
Mercenaries lol 🤣😂🤣😂🎅😁
There were some good parts to Rambo: Last Blood. The tunnels were a throwback to the caves in Afghanistan. Also, when the woman asked Rambo "will I see you again" and he said "yeah, sure" those were the same exact lines from Rambo III with the Afghan little boy. I'm sure there's probably some more Easter eggs to look for. I'm going to see Rambo 5 again.
Check out the good parts
It's all leading to Rambo 6 which will be Rambo: New Blood
Where Rambo will no doubt die helping a young green beret named Mary Sue.
No, let him die falling off the horse he mounted at the end of this travesty. No more blood lol
I disagree I personally enjoyed this movie. To each there own. God bless.
Oh and I gave you a thumbs down just like my other followers
@@uncharted7againblackking256 I gave him a thumbs up actually.
I think moviegoers get all hyped up and see their own film instead of what’s actually on screen. The same happened with The Force Awakens.
It was a direct to video movie I thought the same exact thing lol
yea it even looks like it was released direc to video
Epic review.
Didnt felt like a rambo in the trailer im been watching this from the 1st movie on they should had let it end with the last movie before this one
Rambos plan in this film was brilliant. Walk right up to a giant gang of cartel dudes. Say "Let her go!"
Well gee, since you asked so nicely rambo, ok. He gets his ass beat for being a fool.
The film needed more action not just the Finale there's bloody bits in the Finale it was just to short imo!
@Yankeefan24 it needed more action less drama action is what we watch this stuff for not sad depressing drama didn't know enough about his adopted daughter or whatever she was her purpose was to get captured drugged up and die!
@Yankeefan24 didn't need a family Rambo was better on his own these people felt in the way his whole reason for that finale was that girls death!
@Yankeefan24 I heard "Rambo Last Blood" was very disappointing. I spoke to a couple of people and they said too there's hardly any action in this movie and this movie is not doing well at the box office. That doesn't sound promising. I'm not gonna waste money on this. Stallone has to stop making crappy sequels. What's next "Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot Part 2". He's so desperate for a hit. Stallone hasn't had a hit movie in years. His time has passed.
@Yankeefan24 You need to take a chill pill dude and relax. First of all I didn't mention anything about what the critics said and I'm not talking about politics or if the movie is racist. I heard this movie is disappointing by Rambo standards. It hardly has any action in it. It only has an action scene at the end. People go to see Rambo movies for it's climatic action scenes. I'm not gonna waste my money on a Rambo movie that hardly has any action. Rambo is not a drama. Also a fifth movie of Rambo was not necessary.
@Yankeefan24 Another thing "Star Wars", "James Bond", "Halloween", "Friday The 13th" and "Rambo" is all the same shit to me. These movies were good in the 80's and 90's but there not good anymore. Especially when they get to part 5, 6 and 7 it just gets ridiculous. I think people in Hollywood should start doing new projects and stop focusing on shitty sequels. Stallone has to do something new. He's not the star anymore like he was in the 80's and 90's. His action movies are not good anymore. Like I said his time has passed.
I saw this with someone and he even said it wasn't worth the money and he said it dragged which it did!
My heart sunk when I saw "Rambo" with short hair, and then heard Old Town Road in the trailer.
Don’t get down on yourself, Matt. You don’t suck at reviews, and we value your opinion (at least us 15,000 fans). You might not have a big channel in terms of followers and production and whatnot, but your content is top notch, and that’s what really matters. To me anyway. I’d rather watch you review movies than countless 1M sub channels that shall remain nameless. Cheers Matt! I clicked on this video so fast lol. Can’t wait to hear your opinion on this flick! 🍻✌🏼👊🏻
If Sly Didn’t made Rambo 5....
Here’s My Scenario.
In This Alternate 2000s & 2010s. Sly says That Rocky Balboa & Rambo 2008 is The last of The series.
After That. He Still makes The Expendables Movies. Only in A smart Way (No CGI, Shakeycam Newbie D-Bags like Rounda Rousey & her fat-Ass moule).
After That, Stallone Decided to annouced that He Will make Ex-Bagdad With jackie Chan.
An Allmighty Dream Comes True in This Alternate Universe.
After Some projects Left.
Sly Decided to talk about Demolition man, Tango & Cash, Cobra, Etc.
After Some interviews & re-Relase on Blu-Ray
Sly announced That He Will Retire From The Movie buisness. However He Will visist Conventions, meet & greets With The fans. Etc.
That’s My Alternate scenario If Stallone was smart to Never make Those Shitty films in The First Place (No Bullet to The Balls, No Escape plan Movies, No Grudge match, No The Unlikable Adventure of Creed, Crap, Crud. Etc.).
Stay strong Matt, & think about The Good Things, The 80’s Horror marathon 💪🏼👹
Take A Day By Day My Friend & have A Nice drink With Your Best buddy, Mr. Mellow yellow
Grand Theft Ruben Why the hell aren’t we in that universe?
Lmao Matt didnt waste anytime with this one lol
I agree
Nothing happens in the 1st hr? They were building up suspense with drama. I do have mixed feelings about Last Blood. It was not as good as 1-4. Part 5 was just ok. I get the Saw/Home Alone references. But the guy is 70 something years old and they had to make it somewhat believable. It's plausible that Rambo could defeat the cartel with home field advantage. It's the Art of War. Rambo chose the battlefield. He made plans and had the enemy come to his trap. The ending isn't clear because Rambo might have died. He sent the horses away. Where did that horse come from? Rambo rides off "into the sunset". Is he dead or alive? The audience is left to decide similar to "The Wrestler".
The suspense and drama did not work. There was no suspense (suspense for what) and the drama was lacking because I cared so little for the teen girl (she just made stupid choices). So yes...to me nothing happens in the first hour.
@@ramboraph4life I almost cried when Rambo got beat down. That was heartbreaking. It was also tragic when Gabrielle died as well. Yeah to us it seemed like a stupid choice. But maybe she needed some type of closure from her relationship with her estranged father.
@@BklynBryan To me I was more annoyed when Rambo got beat down. Rambo wouldn't just go in there without a plan...it was a foolish and stupid thing to do and, in doing so, got the girl inevitably killed. I have zero reason to care for 'Gabrielle'. She shared like 3 or so scenes with Rambo before going off to Mexico so I didn't care.
@@ramboraph4life Yeah it made no sense that Rambo approached the Martinez brothers and their gang like Rambo. But he was desperate for answers and had no Intel. We do see the real Rambo when he was in stealth mode and chopped the skinny Martinez bro's head off. Last Blood was tough. The beginning was a bit of a slog. Maybe Rambo 6 will be better!
He died. Fell off the horse. Lol
Matt, You and your friends are the main reviewers i watch!! You are blunt and don't give a shit about the crowd!!!
Rambo 5: Average Blood.
Title Pun aside. The movie wasn't bad. But it is a middling movie.
The overall atmosphere of the movie doesn't feel the same as the other Rambo movies. You could tell this was the case from the trailers though.
If Rambo series, Rocky series, Cobra, Demolition Man, Tango & Cash, Cliffhanger and Daylight were top-tier Stallone films.
With Escape Plan and Expendables 3 being bottom-tier Stallone films.
Rambo: Last Blood is middle tier alongside Expendables 1 & 2
To me.
I do think the action scenes were great and impactful but they were backloaded to the end of the movie.
It should have been Rambo teaming up with Machete. If you're gonna go all out and be ridiculous. Atleast Rambo 5 got a theatrical release unlike some of Sly's other recent work.
@@MrDman21 Studios probably only gave him enough backing for a theatrical release if he returned to a bigger name franchise.
@spitfire4209 well they must be doing the same with Arnold becuz there's no way they were gonna sell the new Terminator movie without him. Studios need guys like Sly and Arnold for these franchises to bring the hardcore fans back in. The problem is nobody else gives a fuck about these movies in the 2010s. John Wick is the new action franchise, hopefully they don't screw it up by trying to make it "woke"
Rambo 2008 was the perfect ending for this franchise. I didn't hate this new movie, but it's definitely the worst film in the series. Looking forward to this RANT Matt.
I just saw an interview where Sly mentions he did film several other PTSD scenes, but then decided he didn't want to hit people over the head with it. Apparently some countries have a longer cut of the movie, so maybe those scenes are present there.
And he also mentions he has new "political" ideas for a new Rocky movie. Lova ya Sly, but I don't know about that one...
One of Rambo's underground tunnels leads straight to the 'Playboy Mansion'
And your fucked up mind leads to hell.
I just saw this movie yesterday and I have to say it was damn good and well worth the money I rented it for on youtube.
Brilliant review Matt, perfectly summed up.
I'm a huge Sly fan, he's been my idol growing up as I battled bipolar & depression because his films always delivered hope about overcoming the odds & always had a inspirational message, however this film was very dark & depressing & didn't feel like a Rambo movie at all to me, Sly lost the plot.
Rambo fought wars, eventually comes home finds peace & a niece who he loves like a daughter & he gets fucked over, at the end of the film what's he got? Nothing he's just left a broken man.....shocking!!!!
The scene were he walks straight into the cartels & gets beat up was bollocks, Rambo would've tooled up & stealthily took em out not waltzed through the front door.
My Rambo journey concludes with Rambo 4 which is the perfect closure for the character, I won't be adding Last Blood to my collection.
Breaks my heart love Sly but those awful Escape Plan sequels & now Last Blood I'm starting lose faith in him & I agree call it a day Sly.
Pretty sad… like… wtf standing there in plain sight in front of the fuckin’ building just to be spotted… BS! Lol
@@riverskipworth2657 don't exist in my Rambo collection the fourth film is the perfect ending.
No way Rambo just waltz into the cartels utterly against the characters actions
Oh indeed! All those years he spent sneaking around in areas totally stealthily and shit, is now non existent as he waltzes out there and stands like a plank lol
I’ve got the movie, I downloaded it cuz why not but bro was it bad!
You mentioned about the opening sequence of Rambo last blood, that it was a flood sequence I taught in the US and Europe that sequence was edited out of the movie. In Asia the film opens with a flood/rescue sequence. In Asia the film is 101 minutes long in the US and Europe the film is 89 minutes long.
My favourite rambo is 2 love it
Stallone should enjoy his last few years in peace.
you dont suck at reviews Matt, i happen to love your reviews . no channel can top your rants as well.. i dont have this movie in my box set , 1-4 thats it.
Agree brother, I was so pissed that the girl even went after hearing her dad from Stallone that he’s a piece of crap n even went and seen it, which gotten herself through these troubles that Stallone had to deal with. Can’t she let Stallone be in peace? 🤦
something that occurred to me is how different things would be plot wise if Rambo had agreed to go to Mexico with his niece instead of trying to change her mind to not go see her father at all. If he saw that she wanted it so badly why not accompany her and protect her all the way through.
I love you, RamboRaph, but you cant tell Sylvester Stallone to stop making movies. He's doing great for being 73 and I hope he does more movies, especially more Rambo movies. The same goes for Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
The last decent film he did was in 2010. So yes in my opinion he needs to retire.
@@ramboraph4life As a stallone fan myself who loves a lot of his movies, especially in the 80's-90's i have to agree. It's time he stepped down and retired, as his recent movies have been terrible.
Hey to make us all feel better let's just pretend this movie is just the real Rambo's night mate just on film..
Disagree not as bad as you make it out to be if it was truly bad it wouldn't be watchable i think its a time waster at best its nothing original than again every idea has been done to death theres really nothing left for the action genre its played out
I Love Cold Pursuit, Rambo 5, Hellboy Remake, John Wick 3, Angel Has Fallen, The Kid 2019, Hobbs & Shaw, The Silence, Shaft 2019, Ma, Zombieland 2, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Black & Blue, & 21 Bridges Those are my Favorites Of 2019
We have our opinions and like you said we had rights to have them, I enjoyed Rambo Last Blood and I Enjoyed Ghostbusters afterlife, the action at the end of last blood was very well done, same for the scene where he pops that Mexican dude’s collar bone out was brutal and made me flinch a lot (my shoulder was numb for a week). As for Ghostbusters afterlife, I loved watching it with my mom and seeing the original ghostbusters come back but done right this time (unlike the 2016 film) was very well done (in my opinion) I did cry at the end I will admit that, I also cried at last blood’s ending. Stallone is a good actor and a good writer, now I know I can’t say anything about the movie that was awesome besides the ending, but I will say that I liked how we see all the stuff he had from Vietnam even his machete from Rambo 4 was awesome to see, the knives he’s made were amazing to look at and see in action, the scene that gets me every time I watch the movie, was the collarbone torture scene and the Hotel or brothel raid scene when he goes MC hammer on their asses. The vibes I got with the ending were like saw type stuff, but for a revenge movie I enjoyed it a lot and I thought I was good somewhat, you have your opinion and I have mine but I will agree Rambo 4 was a good ending to the character since there was really nothing left for him, I do wish he made a comic book or something where we meet his dad like you said. Rambo last blood was a good time to watch in a way, the tunnel scene where he tortures the cartel was very well done, even the scene where he rips the guy’s heart out I enjoyed. But yeah that’s my take on it.
I just remembered one thing: the version I saw is the one with the flood in the beginning, but he never said anything about not being able to save people (like you mention). I wonder if there are more than two cuts for the film?
Great rant brother! I'll just stick Rambo 1 threw 4! I know i said i was going to check it out but i had second thoughts.
Yup saw this coming. I haven't had a good laugh since Captain Marvel. xD
Also ignore those people Matt. You don't suck at all. They're not worth your time dealing with.
They're just mad that Matt's not afraid to speak his mind and they are. They hate him for that. But they do the usual thing that UA-camrs do when they hate somebody, they put his name in the title of their videos just to get views. Pretty pathetic. They're just shills and they hate that Matt ain't with that shit. It must suck when you hate somebody else's opinion that much that you waste time making videos about them. Especially when you talk about shitty movies that Hollywood wants to shove down your throat.
For Terminator 3 . Van Damme would be a bad ass as a villian Terminator.Universal Soldier was like a Terminator movie
marco avila Universal soldier is the waaaaay better movie than terminator 3
@@perrymehta6438 facts
Wait rise of the machines
@@uncharted7againblackking256 yeah but the movie is silly van damme should of been a terminator villian. They should of made that film in 90s
Too much on the nose
"get a pair of balls and get some fucking hair" I'm fucking dying here 🤣
You can find a treatment dated 2004 called 'Rambo: Holy War' which seems to have been an unsolicited proposal to attract studio/Stallone's interest which would have involved Rambo fighting terrorists but it went nowhere. Noticeably the back story is that Rambo marries a doctor and adopts the kid from Rambo 3 so hence has a family which is not something seen in the series [and bar Co in 2, there's no romance]. I do wonder if the Gabriella was meant to be Rambo's daughter/granddaughter at one stage but was changed.
Hey Matt, thanks for sharing, I went to see Last Blood the other night, I was entertained enough to enjoy it. Always enjoy your rants, all the best.
Moral of this story - never trust Old Town Road (trailer).
What is going on...
You are one of my favorite UA-camrs the only good part was the last action scene but that's it
Loved this movie... Not as good as Rambo IV, but it was so brutal and Stallone was on top form.. Probably the 3rd best in the series after First Blood and Rambo IV
Sorry, do not agree one bit with you. The first hour is incredibly dull and nothing happens in it.
I agree with you 100%
Thats cool... I still enjoy your rants, even if i don't agree with them 😉
Thank you awsom50. That's kind of you to say.
I liked this movie. I did feel rage after his niece's passing. I know the Burmese army were worse but sometimes in this movie I just wantrd to join him.
Didn't give a crap about the girl. She had like 3 scenes with Rambo and other than that just acted like a complete and utter moron. So when she died I felt absolutely nothing.
It was a decent film, Stallone has done a great job, I love all the Rambo films and this was great aswell Top movie Sylvester , hope you do anothe one aswell
I saw this movie yesterday and I was there early and I sat through the credits hoping for some good musical score pieces to hear. Listening to your review, I think they must be showing different versions of this movie in theaters, because there was no flood scene in what I saw. WEIRD.
Kaiju Soshingeki Same in the UK, no flood scene at all. It has been cut from the film in certain regions
Except that in Sweden, I saw the flood scene, completely unedited.
THANK YOU Matt for an honest review, amongst all of your other honest reviews. This movie sucked ! I'm a huge Rambo fan too and this was an embarrassment. First, Stallone made NO effort to make himself look like Rambo. I understand he's had plugs but do SOMETHING to have a different hairstyle than the everyday. Second, they tried to make this look like a culturally relevant Taken movie with Rambo. A series from generations passed with a modern twist. His domestic situation had no background, I agree. The mailbox at the end of 4 left everyone to believe that his father was home and they would reunite. Would be great to see his dad or what happened to his dad, at all. I had to rewatch it to even understand where the two people living there even came from. The tension of all of the Rambo films is him reaching the point of no return. There was nothing here like that because the entire teen goes to Mexico thing wasn't necessary. It wasn't believable. When he announced the premise of the film way back I knew immediately it would suck because it strived to go relevant, poorly. I hope this is his stopping point. I measure a movie not by RT bot reviews but by how fast it goes to Amazon Prime streaming. This one was pretty quick, like Last Jedi. Everyone has a review and many do in fact hate it, but they are afraid to say it because they can't take the criticism thus it breeds more crap reviews. Thanks for having the balls to be honest. I too do not understand how anyone can rank this even close to the others. Apparently we didn't get our Jim Jones Kool Aid powder packet in the mail.
Idk why everyone is saying this was the best one. Hell no!!!
Rambo tried to save people in the beginning? Not the one I saw. The film starts on a farm. There was no fload scene in the film I saw. I wonder why?
There are different cuts of the film. To perfectly honest I saw it online cause I didn't want to waste my money on it.
@@ramboraph4life Thanks.
@@ramboraph4life where online? I wanna see that cut Matt. What site dude? PM me please bro
Putlocker. Can't post links or would get into trouble.
My understanding is that two distributors hold different distribution rights for this movie. ONe holds the distribution rights for American and Britain. Another holds the rights to every where else. They decided to go a different route with the final cut. The American cut is 10 minutes shorter.
I loved this movie. I get you don't like it, but what are you comparing it to in the Rambo Franchise? Rambo 4 was amazing and Last blood actually kept that brutality going.
To me it's the worst Rambo film in terms of pacing, story, supporting characters, villains, the way it looks (it screams direct to video)...5 minutes of action in a tunnel doesn't save a movie where the entire first hour is boring. Not sure what else there is not to understand. To each their own.
22:20 That should've been the title of the film in a nutshell LOL.
22:58 Good point I've seen the red band trailer a few times already which I still find it very funny that release a red band trailer 3 days before the film comes out and mostly spoils the finale IMHO.
BADDASS RANT! Bro your 100% right Sly really should retire I hope Brad Pitt's ''Ad Astra'' kick's it's ass this open weekend which I know it will!
Waiiiiiit... I saw this yesterday and it didn’t have a “flood scene”?!... I’m confused!
Different cut of the film. To be honest I saw the flick online and there is an additional opening.
ramboraph4life haha! Well, imagine how boring the movie is not even having that scene! It’s so boring in the beginning!
I agree, rambo 2 and 3 were the best.
Yes Rambo 2 and 3 are definitely the best
Matt i have to really disagree with you on this.
Pros:
The film wasn't perfect but genuinely solid with a terrific performance by Stallone,he is 73 now and is still able to have a physical presence.
The scene where he goes to rescues Gabrielle was fantastic, he was really a hero in that moment even trying to save all those other girls but they refuse in fear of being caught and killed.
the 3rd act was balls to the wall action that was truly satisfying and what Rambo does to the main villain was so violent i couldn't believe my eyes loved every second of the final battle.
Cons:
The score is great but recycled from all the other films particularly Rambo (2008)
You hate the villains for the scum they are but beyond that they weren't all that developed.
The biggest issue i have with the film is something i cant quite put my finger on as if it lacks an essential ingredient or something but it doesn't quite feel like a Rambo film, i dont like 3 but even that felt like a Rambo film.
Overall, solid but flawed conclusion to a solid action franchise.
Best to worst: 4,2,1,5,3
Like all Rambo films except 3 which sucked.
Sorry but the 'rescue' of Gabrielle I thought was boring & lame. To me it's a very dull flick and boring. A few moments in the third act does not save the movie. Stallone wasn't even that good in it in my opinion. To each their own.
@@ramboraph4life Would you agree Matt that Stallone still has the presence as an action star?
@@aligunes207 Presence? Sure. But he needs better scripts and sad to say but he i just Too Old to do this stuff anymore. That's not a knock against him. That's just sadly the true facts of age itself...and this was not a good script even for an action flick. Or at least take more exciting scripts. Do stuff in the vein of Cop Land, or Mandy that Nic Cage did, or hell even a film like Searching with John Cho because he is a Good Actor. But don't just keep regurgitating these franchise.
@@ramboraph4life Did you hear about his next film where he is going to play a mythic superhero that has been gone for over 20 years?
A kid hears about him and tries to find out if he exists and if so why he left
Its being described as a superhero mystery thriller
I want to see this one my favorite Rambo movies are
1 First Blood
2 Rambo
3 Rambo First Blood Part 2
4 Rambo 3
Have not seen this one yet but I want to
It's not racist, it's just shit.
I only liked the first one.
It was not 5 minutes in the tunnel. It was way more. The movie built up nice to it. And the action was spread out. This was Stallone's Logan man. You don't get it Raph. It's ok if you don't like it, but it was a good movie.
No, it was about 5 minutes in the tunnels (not including the boring 'lead bad guy running from explosions which had bad cgi when it showed the surface'). But the actual 'hunting people' was about 5 minutes. When you get the blu-ray feel free to time it out. And sorry but no, the action was not 'spread out' when nothing happens in the first hour. After that a middling/forgettable 'hammer sequence' which I felt nothing. The drama was weak, the story was a lame wannabe Taken 4, the villains were instantly forgettable, the score was just a retread of Rambo 4's score, the supporting cast (the teen girl, the journalist) I didn't care one iota about and that's pretty much it. Sly wasn't even that great in it. Sorry but in my opinion the film sucks ass and it further shows that Stallone should just retire.
Brian Tyler recycled a lotta the othemes from the previous one but what else should he have done? There were some weird tracks on the list but Goddamn, Dusk was the perfect one for the outro! Fatalism is great too. I like most of ‘em!
That’s all I like about this movie. Nothin’ more. The fourth was the better ending.
I thought the movie was great
Hey Matt, do you hate it more than the animated series? I'm sure you heard that Stallone wants to do a teenage Rambo prequel movie........
The Rambo cartoon had less boredom than this. And better music.
True, I cant believe there is another Rambo movie coming but from Bollywood.
Love your reviews. Here's why: 1) You hold nothing back and give your honest opinion, 2) You have a great memory and are able to recall practically the entire movie.
Watching Rambo again and my thoughts have not changed. Unnecessary and unneeded? Yes absolutely but I liked it. The story from what I gathered was Rambo has been somewhat civilized and lived a normal life till the death of his daughter who he has been raising. As someone who has been raising a little one myself I bought into the story and felt sorry for Rambo when she died and wanted Rambo to slaughter the cartel. Idk if Stallone wrote it but if he directed it I think It could have been better.
Have to disagree with you on that. I didn't give one iota of crap about the girl dying...there was no reason for me to like her or care about her. I think it was a piss poor story trying to be Taken 4 & done badly with a horribly boring first half. To each their own.
@@ramboraph4life now the taken thing I agree. Granted apparently the story was in development around 2010 which was when the taken movies were popular. So it was a product of it's time. Boring first half yeah compared to the other Rambo films. At least they tried to build it up. The movie so short it kinda just sped through things I wanted to know lol like what happened to his father? Etc.
You talk like you're really beaten down by life. I'm guessing people like to hear hour opinion because its honest and clearly passionate.
Rambo 5 is great
17:00 i disagree because i find the original A Man Called Horse from 1970 and The Sicilian Clan from 1969 cheesy. Sorry Matt
Great Job Matt, Personally I Love Rambo 1, 3, 4, & 5, Great Action, Well Written & Directed, & Some Of my Favorites Of Stallone, I Like Rambo 2 it’s Ok but I’d say that’s my Least FavoriteIn the franchise, but I Enjoy & Like All Of The Rambo Films ❤
