Whoever is advising Sly Stallone might want to tell him that Reagan isn't in office anymore.
While they're at it, they might may want to mention that directing and starring in back-to-back sequels of 80s franchises, both titled with the first and last names of the main character might not be a great idea. They might also want to let him know that making jingoistic action flicks about white mercenaries saving other white people from sadistic Asians went out of style around the same time that Huey Lewis was a rock god.
Today, Ain't It Cool News posted exclusive footage of the upcoming John Rambo. And it is beyond ridiculous. You know the phrase "so bad it's good?" Well this is so offensive it's not offensive. At some point -- I think around the time the close-up of brain matter splattered on an army jeep appeared on my computer screen -- I became convinced that Monty Python had reunited and created this footage using CGI.
You just know George Bush will be hootin' and hollerin' during the inevitable private screening at the White House.
Maybe Sly should lay off the synthetic testosterone before getting back behind the camera.

Terrible Review. Nothing about this movie trailer amounts to "war propaganda." If anything it might create some sympathy/awareness for victims of genocide-->Darfur. Just because a gun gets fired doesn't mean it's a terrible film or a mindless shoot em' up film. Movies don't have to be political or be so provocative that they force us to question our existence, in order to be great movies. This is an action film and as the trailer suggests, the action is gritty not just explosions and special effects. Looks like the making of a great movie to me. To Matthew Ross and Scaredy-Cat: You should avoid movies like this, stick to your favorites: Chocolate, The English Patient, and Snow Falling on Cedars. On a sidenote, if Monty Python had any involement with this trailer it would have been less funny. Monty Python ftl.

Wow Looks like a propaganda film getting the young men of America ready to invade some Asian country. I wonder what Asian country that could be?

Its a movie. Its entertainment. Why does everyone project their own insecurities onto a film, when they judge it?? I'm sure Stallone lost hours of sleep trying to create the most jingoistic and racist propaganda piece, 50 million dollars could buy.
