Problem is, the old Superstar of the 80s is dead.
Not only in movies, also in music and any other entertainment branch.
Today, you have guys for specific target groups: Vin Diesel for wannabe violent white kids, a black guy (can't think of anyone specific right now) for "black" audiences etc, Jet Li or Chow Jun Fat for asians or generally Kung Fu inclined people...
The 80s action heroes were pretty much for everybody.
Actually I had expected Rambo to return, but I had supposed he was to return to Afghanistan, maybe to fight against his allies from Rambo III...
But apparently this was politically too hot, so they sent Rambo into one of the few states on earth that has a regime generally accepted to be evil...
