Thanks King! I'm with Dave a bit about this movie. I do think it'll be interesting to see a Rambo without the Trautman character involved (and I can only hope they don't work him in without Crenna to play it, no alternate actors for me) and even if the old themes are used, there's a good chance that the new composer will stylize the themes because they won't have spent intimate time with the character and films like Goldsmith did, but if the composer uses Rambo's themes properly, it could still feel ok. My expectation is, this will be a kickass action flick that's back to 80s action film basics with minimal to possible no CGI effects, it'll thrill us, be a great viewing, leave us a nice finale to the John Rambo saga, but for die hard Rambo fans, it'll feel somewhat out of place with the previous 3 films and seem more like an individual film where the others were a true trilogy with the character evolve and the plots intertwining. I'm looking forward to it, I think I'll be very pleased with it as I was with Rocky Balboa. Now that I think of it, I wonder if the approach on John Rambo's script was like Rocky Balboa where it made Rocky and Rocky Balboa into 2 films that could exist together without the middle components, and possibly John Rambo and First Blood will tie somehow together in a similar way, and maybe that's why some of his excessive violence is there, not for gore effect, but to show an evolution of the mental scarring and Trauma shown in First Blood, trauma which was pretty much forgotten and ignored for R2 and R3 (I love R2, but if you think about it, tough as Rambo was, he surely would've frozen at least once in the prison camp with flashbacks, if the story were to be true to mental post traumatic stress syndrome issues).
