20 Upcoming Movies Absolutely NOBODY Wants
7. John Rambo
Who could have ever watched the original Rambo film, First Blood, and predicted that it would have such longevity, what with the franchise's sixth entry currently being in production?
John Rambo is a prequel to First Blood which will seemingly show audiences how Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) came to be the embattled war veteran we know him as.
Except, didn't First Blood get that across pretty damn succinctly? It's tough to picture a prequel not being cut from the same cloth as the more action-heavy sequels and basically undermining First Blood even more than it already has been.
While Sisu director Jalmari Helander is clearly a solid action filmmaker, is his brand of over-the-top action really appropriate for a survival story that leads into the more sober-minded First Blood? It's tough to see it all fitting together.
And this is without even getting to the fact that Stallone obviously isn't in it, with Noah Centineo facing the unenviable task of filling the massive void left by his absence.
