Whatever Possessed God in Heaven to Make a Man Like Rambo?

I have a confession to make: I’ve never seen a Rambo movie. I understand that there have been three of them and that they were pretty popular. Well, a new one, cleverly titled “Rambo”, will be in theaters starting tomorrow, and the one review I could find gave it 9/10.

Apparently, the new film is dark and violent, without the cheesy action-hero elements that I would have expected. And it looks like there will be 236 times as many deaths as in the first movie. How do I know? The Sunday L.A. Times had this:

Okay, I hadn’t realized that almost no one got killed in the first movie. One always pictures Rambo with guns sticking out every which way. So I just assumed.

If this movie continues to get good reviews, I may have to see it.
