Why The Critics Hate Rambo: Last Blood

People who watch a lot of Hollywood movies, must see thousands of people killed every year. It’s mass murder on display. Disgusting.

Meh, no one takes it seriously.

Now, what I'd like to see is that instead of Rambo shooting some nameless person we never see again... we actually see the consequences. We see that guys family, and how they are economically and emotionally ruined. We maybe see the innocent person who gets caught in the crossfire.

But funny thing, Japanese movies are even more violent than ours... yet they have a lot less crime because every mal-adjusted youth can't get a gun.
 
So Rambo just happened to have an elaborate murder maze under his land on the off chance that a bunch of Mexicans come looking for him.

This is plausible to you?
I know it's early, but have a cup of coffee before posting. ... :cool:

Re-read my post.

I only defended the 1st Rambo movie, and said the rest were drivel.
 
It's time for critics to pan any new endeavors by Stallone, Ahnold, and Neesome that's sole purpose is to show off their muscles.

If not, we're going to see Rambo 16, Taken, 17, and Terminator 19, Expendables 20, with the stars tottering around on walkers

Actually, the first one was a based on a book that was much better, and ended with Rambo dying. It was an indictment of how we created a bunch of murder machines and then dumped them back into society with no prospects or retraining.

Instead, they took the book, turned into action schlock where Rambo inflicts all this damage and kills very few people. It also perpetuated crap myths like soldiers being spat upon when they returned from Vietnam, which is a lie.

No one? Doubt that.

Posted a video a couple years back, of an MoH recipient stating he had been spat upon when he returned from Nam.

Where are the CONTEMPORARY accounts. Not what someone said 15 years later as he remembered it.

You know, you'd think that we'd see headlines between 1968 and 1973 of "Hippies spit on returning soldiers" or "Hippy sent to hospital after Soldier puts him in traction".

The Spitting Image - Wikipedia


Even during the most fervent days of anti-war protest, it seemed that it was not the soldiers whom protesters were maligning. It was the leaders of government, and the top generals—at least, that is how it seemed in memory. One of the most popular chants during the anti-war marches was, "Stop the war in Vietnam, bring the boys home." You heard that at every peace rally in America. "Bring the boys home." That was the message. Also, when one thought realistically about the image of what was supposed to have happened, it seemed questionable. So-called "hippies," no matter what else one may have felt about them, were not the most macho people in the world. Picture a burly member of the Green Berets, in full uniform, walking through an airport. Now think of a "hippie" crossing his path. Would the hippie have the nerve to spit on the soldier? And if the hippie did, would the soldier—fresh from facing enemy troops in the jungles of Vietnam—just stand there and take it?

By 1992, the Director of the Connelly Library and curator of the Vietnam War Collection at LaSalle University listed the spitting myth as one of the "Top Six Myths" from the Vietnam era, and observed the myth "derives from the mythopoeic belief that returning GI's were routinely spat upon at some time during their repatriation to the USA. This particular round of tales has become so commonplace as to be treated reverently even among otherwise wisely observant veterans."[2] In 1994, scholar Paul Rogat Loeb wrote, "to consider spitting on soldiers as even remotely representative of the activist response is to validate a lie", and noted that myths like that of anti-war activists spitting on soldiers have rewritten or "erased history".[3] An academic study into the making and shaping of a collective memory found that evidence of antiwar activists targeting troops was virtually nonexistent. Instead, it found popular memory was manipulated by national security elites and a complicit news media by frequently labeling resistors to U.S. war efforts as "anti-troop".[4] As observed by Clarence Page after interviewing Lembcke and Greene, "the stories have become so widely believed, despite a remarkable lack of witnesses or evidence, that ironically the burden of proof now falls on the accused, the protesters; not their accusers, the veterans. Antiwar protesters must prove the episodes didn't happen, instead of the veterans having to prove they did."[5]

still got your fingers in your ears, asshole?

Also, your article has a paywall.


First paragraph, asshole.

"Gary Beikirch returned from Vietnam filled with rage and racked by guilt and worried he’d kill the next college kid who spat on him."

Don't like it, find your own link to what he said.

Okay.....imagine you're a former Special Forces soldier with hundreds of confirmed kills. You've served your country with distinction and honor....received the Congressional Medial Of Honor twice.....and somebody kidnapped your niece. Turns out drug-cartels are responsible. So you go after them and make them pay in a very violent way for this and several other crimes against humanity.

But you're the bad guy.....according to movie critics. You're a racist.

This is the jist of what critics are saying about "Rambo: Last Blood".

How dare senior citizen John Rambo exact revenge against innocent drug-cartels that are only just doing what the Democrats want.....transporting drugs into America and helping illegals apply for asylum. After all, everyone knows that drug-cartels are essential in the Democrat's hopes for taking back the White House.

82% of the audience loved the movie. But critics gave it a 26% on the tomato meter because the movie is racist and not PC. In all honesty....I think that Hollywood and the critics are full of crap. If 82% of the people that paid for this movie loved it then obviously Hollywood has lost it's sense of what the public wants.


It's no different than the new movie on Clarence Thomas that came out. Those who saw it loved it but critics hated it.

Why? Cuz Fu#k a conservative blacks like Clarence and Ben Carsen, that's why.

Not at all. I would me more than willing to entertain CREDIBLE evidence of soldiers being spat upon during Vietnam.

I knew dozens of senior NCO's and officers when I was in, not a ONE of them ever reported it.

It's one of those stories that grew, such as the story of the "Interrogation" by throwing Vietcong PW's out of a helicopter. It's gripping, it's emotional... what it lacks are dates, names, places, etc.

You see, here's the thing. Our focus on Vietnam has shifted from what a huge policy blunder it was to "we should have treated the guys who served their better". But instead of concentrating on the things that actually were bad, like no job prospects when they got back, lack of medical treatment for things like Agent Orange or PTSD, we come up with these myths about imaginary hippies spitting on soldiers.

It is if this is the best you have.

‘It’s a Lifelong Burden’: the Mixed Blessing of the Medal of Honor – The Passive Voice

after the whole part about the "next kid", we never get details about the "First kid" who supposedly spat on him

Name of the Hippy
Place it happened
Witnesses

You know, the kinds of things we demand in a court as proof.
