I wasn't a big fan of this one, but was curious if the directors cut makes it any better?
shareI just watched it last night.
The only problem is....the director's cut is the only thing I have scene and therefore I do not know what is different from what people saw in the theaters.
The directors cut doesn’t make the movie any better. There’s an additional scene at the beginning where Rambo tries to rescue these people in the mountains during a storm which actually reminds me of a scene out of the First Blood novel.
It’s entertaining but it’s nowhere near good enough to save this movie
It includes: “One of the most iconic scenes in cinema history where Dennehy and Stallone sit down in a cafe for a man-to-man chat in an effort to understand each other ...the scene was totally unrehearsed”
”We're sitting here like a coupla
regular fellas. You do what you
do. I do what I gotta do. What
happens if I am there and I got
to put you away?
(pause)
I won't like it. But, if it's
between you and some poor bastard
whose wife you're going to make
into a widow, brother, you are
gonna go down.”
I think the only difference is a rescue scene in the middle of the night in which Rambo saves people stuck in a storm.
It was well made, felt same quality as the rest of the film (slightly low budget-ish), it was ok, great way to start this film with a little bit of action but not something that actually made the film 'better', to me it doesn't really move the needle.
5.2/10 for theatrical cut
5.4/10 for director's cut
