Rambo: “a Call of Duty 4 style shoot ‘em up”
You hardly ever see a movie compared positively to a game, although critics usually don’t seem afraid to bash a movie for being just like a video game. However, the Arizona Daily Star compared Rambo to Call of Duty 4 in their review of the movie, and if you’ve played the game you should know that’s quite a compliment. The reviewer, Phil Villarreal, calls the movie “a nasty, Call of Duty 4 style shoot ‘em up that kicks down the door, rips out your throat and inserts a Claymore where your jugular used to be,” and judging by the general consensus that’s probably one of the best things that has been and probably will be said about Rambo. Having seen the movie and played the game I’m not sure I see the similarities besides lots of shooting and explosions, but since that’s the only reason to see the fourth Rambo movie I guess it is an apt comparison. If you want to read more, here’s the full review.

As a film critic in my other life (meaning the job that pays me) I totally agree. When I was at the screening I was thinking man Stallone has been playing plent of video games.
This movie kicked some serious ASS!!!!!
