I haven't even seen a "you know, it wasn't *THAT* bad" review yet. The two buckets I've seen so far are "it's as bad as you feared" and "it's worse than you feared".

The numbers are in: A Working Man is the #1 Movie in America.

I can't say whether or not it ever happened, of course. I can only point to the contemporaneous account reported by CBS Evening News back in 1971.

Delmar Pickett Jr. said that it happened back then. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't, but a lot of people say that the mythology started back with First Blood (the first one), when, for what it's worth, the mythology started over a decade before.

(And, no, that's not the speech. The speech that got my roommate's Dad was the "I want what they want" speech at the end of the second one.)

My roommate when I was a college freshman told me that his dad took him to Rambo: First Blood Part II and wept during that final speech.

"I came here for explosions, why the room so dusty?"

It's one thing to say that to any given antagonist. It's quite another to say it to The Devil.

Sure, he made mistakes in the past. A lot of them. But he's different now. He's trying to do things right.

Rotten Tomatoes has the critics' score at 52% and the audience score at 90%.

Personally, I think that the critics' score should be in the 40s, but otherwise I am pleased with those numbers.
