I was satisfied with the acting & characters, given the extreme situations depicted.

Nope not confusing static with stoic. Though I do have to commend the editor for choice of scenes to delete. In my opinion they would only have hurt the movie more had they been included.
When I say that the chars were static I do not mean that as a direct slight to the actors ability considering that all of them were static I would say that it was more the writing. They did not make me care about the chars, if they lived or died it didn't matter.
And yes I do know the meaning of stoic and Rambo came across as a very one dimensional "stoic", a man of action with few words. (who needs words when you can shoot four men in less time than it takes a mere mortal to blink)

But, it is an easy shot to take
Edited to add: Meaning the criticism of the movie, not the shooting of the pirates.

Not saying that things can't happen that quickly. Properly trained a person can be amazing. I suppose that they were trying to get across that with all the snake wrangling that he did kept his reflexes in top form.
I just don't think it was an amazing movie didn't say that your not allowed to think opposite of me, just expressing my opinion. I found it lacking in realism, Mr. detector.
Yes I know that things like this really happen. Just don't think that they are realisticly portrayed in the movie. Things tend to be a lot more complex.

(Sorry, just saw Speed Racer...heh heh)Of course the movie had it's share of un-realism, but for a RAMBO movie, it was gorram close to a documentary, IMO. The violence in it is not the "GO MAN!
" kind, it's the "Oh s**t
." kind. And in my book, that's as real as Hollywood flicks can get.Kudos to Stallone for not giving us another cartoon like the previous two.

Un Darla like is her character in " Dexter " , also. Though I did like it when she said something about " worrying about Angel " . Of course, the " Angel " in the Dexter series is a cop named Angel, who gets stabbed and almost dies. One of the quirks of writing, I'm sure, as I don't know if the writers ever figured she'd be on that show and the name ' Angel ' was just out of random chance.
Or was it ?
