Bloody marvelous action

I was really looking forward to this movie ever since the three minute grainy rated R trailer showed up on the net. It would be safe to say that it was my most anticipated movie of the year. They just don't make action movies like they used to back in the 80s without taking themselves too seriously. Rambo completely delivered on all fronts, mainly the ass kicking one. Stallone has the character down and just like he does with Rocky, he is Rambo. The action scenes are some of the best I've ever seen and the violence is just magnificent, limbs/heads/torsos are flying everywhere in all their bloody glory. There is no symbolism or deeper meaning and the plot is just a means to move the killing along. Most fun I've had in a theater in a long time.
