Rambo (2008) Extended Cut 7/27

@Cliff
Thanks for your explanation (and your time!).

Regarding your question:

but I'm genuinely interested in know why you think this

Bad experience especially if you are living in Germany, where you are confronted with censorship on movies like Rambo all the time, and because of the fact, that the EE was shown on TV first. I have to agree of course, that such "censorship" doesn't make much sense on an Unrated blu-ray release, but it looks like it, if you know the original version. And as a matter of fact, I just don't like it, if things, that were in a movie, and that didn't seem out of place (to me), are removed.

EDIT: I forgot the simple fact, that the cover doesn't state DC, but EE.

Regarding:

As far as Rambo not being a character study

I see your point, but I would've preferred it, if they kept in all the stuff, that was in, and added the new "character" footage in addition to the other changes (moving of the "field scene" for example). But some of the additional stuff I just didn't like (the talk in the rain for the reason I mentioned).

I'll ask Sean Albertson (the editor) if the violence trims were stuff they never planned to include in the first place.

That would be interesting .
