Rambo: Say Hello to My Really BIG Friend

I watched this recently, and wow, despite the lack (absence!!??elevetyhundredone1!!!??) of plot, I was quite impressed with the carnage. Don't go see it if you're expecting Oscar worthy performances, but do go if you love a bloody action movie. Seriously, so many little Asians get shit blown the fuck up (and over and under and into things.)

Right now, Rambo > Chuck Norris any day. Rambo > Cloverfield Monster with just one hand. The shit ancient as all shit Rambo can do with one claymore is amazing, but then give the geezer a mounted machine gun and see what hilarity and hijinks ensue!

p.s. That sniper dude is total HAX!!
