Rambo (2008) is way better than Indy 4

these are the only 2 movies i've seen in the theater in 2008. Indy 4 was a huge CGI-filled disappointment but rambo was better than i expected and had great, realistic action scenes and a good, believable story

i liked the original rambos but i didnt have the gusto to go watch this latest one. maybe it was because of the bad song they chose for the previews where that loser is counting backwards. i hate that shit.
 
I don't really see how you can compare them. other than being 4th movie sequels made 15 years after the last ones starring old guys. but the actual movies themselves were nothing alike.

I mean I guess I could see it being that these were the only two movies you saw this year, but maybe you should have a wider field of comparison.

I thought both movies were pretty good. I felt that Indiana Jones could have been better but it was still solid. Rambo was just plain awesome, I love all the Rambo movies.

Are you talking about "Bodies" by Drowning Pool? I love that song.

That's a shame. Out on DVD now, you should check it out. One of the best action movies of the last 10 to 15 years. Stallone really knows how to bring back characters in a satisfying way after a long absence.

Spielberg and Lucas should have checked with Sly to see how he'd bring Indy back. Instead we get cute CG animals. WTF?

I haven't seen Indy 4 yet, but Rambo was fucking awesome. The whole way through I had the biggest smile on my face.

Good for drinking games. Everytime someone get's shot you have to take a mouthful of beer.

Wasted within 30 minutes :1orglaugh
 
Two different concepts. Two different styles.

For me, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best films ever. First Blood was a decent action flick. The sequels to both fell off a bit from the original. It's hard to believe the newest Rambo would be better than the newest Indy, unless one of them veers sharply from its series trends.
 
Indy 4 was terrible! Reminded me when they ruined Star Wars with Jar Jar Binks. Truely a corny film!
 
It might jut be that Rambo 4 turned out better than we expected and Indy 4 turned out worse than we expected.
I figured alot of people would find Rambo better than what they were expecting even before I even saw the film itself.

Why?

Cause the same thing happened with Rocky Balboa just over a year prior.
 
rambo was back to the basics. indy 4 had aliens?!?:mad:
