I loved this! Definately picking up the 2 disc edition.
Enjoyed the hell out of this one. 2 disc for me.
and the announcement for the "complete saga" box set should hit soon. 
hope there's a complete box set after this one. if the 2nd disc only contains the "digital copy", then ill pass
im gonna buy the 1-disc, not gonna wast a few more dollars for bad special features
This was a great movie. But why did they name it "Rambo"?
1.) First Blood
2.) Rambo
3.) Rambo III
4.) Rambo
1.) First Blood
2.) Rambo
3.) Rambo III
4.) Rambo
This film was action packed and Stallone gave a touching performance along with that good old fashioned action man appeal. We havent had this kind of action film in a long time.

blu-ray for the win!
This was actually better than Die Hard (4)
Got to be the Blu Ray version. DTS HD and 5.1 EX sound will sound AWESOME! Looking forward to this...;-)
Loved it!
Such a brutal film, yet sooo entertaining. I hope they release a definitive collection and not fart around like the Rocky sets.
superb movie, will definatley purchase this!
Will buy for sure!
At first, the extreme brutality (most of which, was in undeniably bad taste) turned me off to the film, but soon after I really enjoyed the film for all it's throat-ripping glory. I'll get the 2-disc if the features are solid enough.
I have the Rambo trilogy boxset, I didn't see this but I will blind buy it. Whether I get the 2 disc or not will depend on the helping of special features.
God this flick was SO much fun in the theaters. Might not be quite as much fun at home, but I'll probably jump for the Blu.
Would Fox stop doing these dang digital copies. We already have these digital copies: Alien vs. Predator, Juno, Hitman, and Alvin and the chipmunks (rumored of cancel) and now this?

I saw this last night. It's flipping fantastic. It's the best action film I've seen in years. It takes a 61 year old to show how action films "are supposed to be done!"
Forget the PG-13 Transformers and Die Hard 4 (the unrated cut would be PG-13 if submitted to, probably) this is the REAL deal!
Bring on the BD with Lossless Audio!

It won't be the only thing on Disc 2 so why can't you just ignore it? For those with Portable Video MP3 Players (such as myself) they're a great idea.
The amount of extra space that it will take up on the 2 Disc DVD will be minimal.

I suspect because the others are so old for the under the 20 cinema going population and therefore they wouldn't know or care older films exist and because of that it could lose sales.
They should've called it Rambo 4 no contest or at least John Rambo (as it was originally known). Rambo is just too confusing.
Why was it rated R too? It's an NC-17 in everything but name. I'd never let a young kid see it. It's way too violent.
Typical MPAA politics no doubt. Stallone has enough say to make sure it gets an R. If someone else directed it who is less well known it would be NC-17 for sure.

The Unrated Die Hard 4 would so NOT get a PG-13. Go and watch it before commenting. Idiot.

Horrible movie, only redeeming scene was the kid getting thrown into a fire pit.
This movie brings new meaning to the term senseless violence. Stevan Seagal movies are better than this and I can't stand the guy.It's like Rambo: First Blood part 2 but more over the top and corny as hell.Steroid popping Stallone needs to stop!
I'll definitely watch this on DVD.
Not the most brain-busting movie ever, but defintely a solid action flick, in my opinion. Took it self a bit too seriously at times, and could've been better if it was just some younger guy as the main character, not an older Rambo, which made pretty much any scene with him and Julie Benz somewhat disturbing due to the age difference.
In any event, if you like some good and mostly senseless violence on occasion, look no further.

This was a hell of a lot of fun to watch in the theater. This was the first time I'd gone to a movie where the audience I sat with broke into a chant during one of the action scenes......."F**k'em up Rambo! F**k'em up!". lol. Worth every red cent I paid to see it just for that alone. 
I thought the movie was great, not to mention extremely brutal. Definitely getting this upon release. I just wish I could have the same fun watching it at home as I did that night in the theater.

I'd have punched the audience in the face if they'd started chanting when I was watching it.
What a great comedy! I haven't laughed so hard in ages!
