I was doing an innocent little search on my phone earlier – looking for some information to confirm a suspicion or two – when I stumbled across some information that has just made today a whole lot better.

Rambo V has been announced and I hear is in the works.

This is especially exciting news for Fangirl, cause this is her main fangirly obsession!

Already I have heard people saying \”Stallone can\’t act. Stop doing sequels.\” ect. I don\’t understand why people feel it\’s right to judge something before they have even given it a chance? I am the first one to admit Rambo 3 didn\’t really do it for me and it\’s the least watched DVD in the set.

I came across this with Robocop as well, people so judgemental and resistant to the idea of change that they lash out against it.

Obviously, I am thrilled and well over the moon about the announcement of Rambo V and cannot wait to hear more about the plot. I am a little worried about the way Stallone treats the character, I really hope that he sticks with the feel of Rambo from First Blood and Rambo 4 – rather than the gun happy, pro-American loppiness that seemed to take over in the middle ground. You know, I really have faith in Stallone here. His work on Expendables really stepped up the gear for action movies and if anyone knows Rambo it\’s Stallone – I even think he has successfully stolen the character from it\’s original source.

So yes, Happy Fangirl all around.
