Odeon tried to tell us that they decided not to screen this for "commercial reasons" - despite it grossing U.S. Box Office: $42,724,402 ? And since when did Odeon start censoring films? I smell a rat. The real reason that Odeon cinema in the UK banned Rambo 4 was because that the company is owned by CINVEN who also have massive oil and chemical interests in – Burma.

Stallone better be in better shape than in Rocky 6

I like them to have their own individual title.... just like books....you rarely see a book call itself something or other part 2 James Bond 21 is a great example....that series probably would have died if it was just called James Bond 3-4-5 etc etc as it would just sound tired to people.... lets face it....no one referred to empire strikes back at the time as episode 5.....it may have beenon the opening scroll but it wasn't on the posters that stuff only came in with the prequels... it was "the empire strikes back"... star wars part 2 is nowhere near as cool sounding.....

The Associated Press about a week ago made mention that sequels are given names rather than numerically numbered due to studio stats showing that "named" movies have proven to be more readily accepted and received rather than the same movie title only with "Part [whatever]" after it. I'd tend to agree. 'James Bond Part 21' isn't a very interesting title, and sounds very tired. I was going to send you the article on this…

The title Rocky Balboa says what it does on the tin. Its a little bit classier and you know its really gonna be back to his best like the first film. Its just going full circle really, I mean they didn't call the first one Rocky 1 and apparently Stallone wasn't too happy with Rocky 5 so maybe he wanted Rocky Balboa NOT to include the 6 so as to forget the 5th story...damn that sounded better in my head than on the screen. Oh well. I don’t know what to think about him calling it John Rambo but to call it Rocky Balboa was in my opinion the PERFECT choice.

First Blood Rambo: First Blood part 2 Rambo 3... what?!? It already doesnt make any sense. Why wasnt it first Blood part 3? Why wasnt it Rambo 2: First Blood part 3? We never had a Rambo 2, how can we have a Rambo 3? The naming process of this series has already been messed up. I realize that the appropriate numbers are there but the titling is already wacky. I think John Rambo is a fine title. He wants to give both the characters a proper goodbye, so I think it makes sense to name them the same way. I doubted him with Rocky Balboa and I was proven very wrong. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I'm looking forward to this one. Yeah,

First Blood
Rambo: First Blood part 2
Rambo 3… what?!?

It already doesnt make any sense.
