Rocky (1976)

♥♥♥♥♥ 

Surprised me by being much more multifaceted than I expected. Just like Rambo (1), actually.


Rambo (2008)

English title: Rambo (Rambo IV)

♥♥♥♥ 

Rambo IV - struck me as more political than the previous entries (+), with a sentiment to some extent of patriotism (-) and to some extent of war sucking (+), and a somewhat pacifist attitude (~). The cast excluding Rambo is fairly uninteresting as usual, but that really doesn't matter much as what carried the movie for me is Rambo himself, the movie's realism: full of blood and merciless breach of human rights and great use of Dogme (/Cloverfield) like camera handling - ie. in summary rambo, visuals and action. Music is okay but not very prevalent.

Rambo total rankings are difficult, in regards to III vs. IV, but I think the ultimate ranking for the recent viewings must be:
1: Rambo (4/5)
2: Rambo III (4/5)
3: Rambo IV (4/5)
4: Rambo II (2/5)


The Expendables (2010)

♥♥ 

The action scenes are the only notable plusses, and since they're majorly present in the second half, it's much better than the first.
