Whats with Hollywood making Mexicans the new enemy?

It was ok with Nazis because well, they were Nazis, and most of them are dead.

But Mexicans are real people from our day and age and many are good people (whereas there are no good Nazis).

Terminators new bad guy is Mexican.
Rambo fights Mexicans.
Didnt Clint Eastwood just star in a movie where he defends his village against Mexicans too?

I would not be surprised if the bad guy in the new Star Wars movie is called Darth Spanish or if vandamme comes for bloodsport II where the bad guy is a Mexican boxer who fights with loaded gloves or something


Maybe Hollywood's new enemies should be Indonesian?

I guess they could be Mongolian.


Just leave Nazis as the bad guys. Or USSR Cold War commies. Or aliens from outer space

Lol at the profile/twitter of the reviewer. Some fat millennial who's probably never seen or heard of a Rambo until now. Rambo has nothing to do with the current Trump political BS, WTF. "It portrays Mexicans as sexists druggies"

I miss the days where people would just laugh at a politically fueled review and move on. Now people freak out over them. Outrage culture is sad. A joke in of itself.

You seem more worked up over this topic than anyone in this topic is over that review.

The absolute worst video Ive ever seen on the internet involved cartel members and one of their victims.

It made me think there cant possibly be a God.


Was it the one where the pitbull ate a guys penis off while he was still alive?

Good reason why 22 year-old lefties shouldn't be reviewing movies spawned from 80s action franchises.

The action franchise in question got poor reviews in the 80s

The attempts at gatekeeping by reference to age or whatever are quite odd also

It's probably not good anyway, like any Rambo movie after the first one.

The first Rambo movie was surprisingly way ahead of its time, ill even add it to my list of masterpieces. By the second movie it just became a brainless action movie so i can understand why the movie will get bad reviews, but yeah this reviewer is inserting way too much of his political bias in it. Its a stupid action flick, the bad guys will always be 1 dimensional.

It's the same reason everything started using Islamic terrorists from the Middle East as the "bad guys" following 9/11 and at some point it just became a tired trope.

Olympus Has Fallen actually went with North Korean terrorists the first time around. The sequel (London Has Fallen)? Back to the same tired trope and they were lambasted for it.

Everyone I know that loved The Last Jedi is talking so much shit about this movie.

I was going to skip it but now I think I might see it on Sunday.

Can you expect it to be as good as first blood? Probably not none of the series was on the level with it. The reboot in 09 was good but it was just a straight action movie. Didn't do anything new. I'll watch this but not go in expecting first blood levels of good out of it.

I liked the first Rambo movie

it was about some poor dude suffering from PTSD from his time in the military, and was just trying to mind his own business, but some bigoted sheriff got into his shit.

each subsequent movie was bad to really bad, IMO. they just made Rambo some murderous psycho

Maybe the one where the cartel flayed a dad in front of his son and then pulled the heart out of the dad.... then they started beheading the son.

Dark stuff.

Those damn millennials.


I know, how could they be such dumb little snowflakes?
Why should anyone want a thoughtful ending out of the last movie in a series that started good and went to crazy town?
