I wonder why on earth he copped out to the overdone gore? It's almost like a B-movie right from the get-go with the exploding guts and stuff...
I totally agree with your sentiment. The previous movies could stand on their own merit without the addition of unnecessary gore. In fact, in first installment, the death count added up to a whopping
ZERO!! (unless you imagined somebody was sitting in that parked car that exploded along the roadway)
The previous movies had enough content as to make such blood/guts display unnecessary. It sounds like now......... the movies have no content, so they've converted Rambo into a plot-less gorefest. IN FB2, he killed plenty of bad guys, but not in a graphic manner.(save for the guy in the canyon who had his head blown off by the arrow explosive
)
The video was pulled from U-tube, so I didnt get to view it, but if what you guys are saying is true.................. they've sold themselves out. When Rambo becomes about the blood & guts, then expect very little content worthy of mention.
Dont get me wrong because I watch the occasional slasher flick, but my point being........ the Rambo franchise shouldn't be one of them.
If I want a gorefest...... I'll watch 300
