How is the violence depicted in Rambo ridiculous? Guess what, if you shoot somebody with that calibre, they don’t just lay down on the ground with a red dot somehwere on their body, even if most movies make you think so. The human body is soft, so that shit was depicted real.
You laughed throughout the whole film? Even at the killing and torturing of innocent people, women and children? And at the massacre of a whole village? Which is based on stuff that is really happening over there?
There hasn’t been a better action movie since The Matrix.

Dude, I never questioned the impact the bullets made on the human body. In fact, I thought that was very well done. It’s one of my pet peeves where in movies you see people firing their guns to no end yet you hardly see the carnage it causes (cough Heat cough). I was referring to the amount of violence in the film which was insane. That’s the reason we went to watch it.
Obviously I didn’t laugh throughout the entire film, the opening sequence was pretty heart breaking. I love how seriously you’re seeing this film, it obviously was only made to depict violence (and setting it in Burma with the genocides was a kind of reasoning for doing it).

But I think Ify was referring to the level of carnage as opposed to the depiction of violence. Just the sheer amount of people he kills.

Correct 
It does what it was made to do, which was to provide ridiculously over the top violence. But as a film, it just doesn’t stand up to even the average films. It was far too short, the plot was basically non-existent, the dialogue was really, really bad and the acting from everyone except maybe Stallone at times was abysmal. But that’s what we expected, and that’s why we went!
