Rating: Summary: WOULDN'T IT BE INTERESTING IF THIS WAS A PREQUEL??!! Review: This was one of the best in the Rambo trilogies. And something dawned on me: Wouldn't it be interesting if this was a prequel to First Blood? I mean the first movie was awesome, and it introduced the world to John Rambo. The sequel and Rambo 3 has Rambo with a machine gun throughout the entire films. Sure he had one in First Blood, but that was toward the end of the film. I think that this movie should have been a prequel because it's soooo goood in every way. I look at the trilogies and I compare them how the Indiana Jones movies were done: Movie, Prequel, and Sequel. This movie shows why John Rambo is considered America's hero!! A definite must have!!!
Rating: Summary: Stallone's all time best action movie! Review: This is by far Sylvester Stallone's best action to date. I must recommend it to any Sly fan. He is the best action hero working in motion pictures today.Stallone rules!
Rating: Summary: An exciting and super-charged sequel Review: As I said in my review of "First Blood", these movies are so much more than machine guns and explosions. There is so much truth portrayed in them about the Vietnam war, what is really was, and it's affect on men like John Rambo. Rambo is not at all a bad person, but rather a kind one who tries to get his life together after the war. Here he is released from workhouse prison by his friend and mentor, Col. Trautman, to rescue POW's in the jungles of 'nam. I won't put any spoilers in my review here, or anybody who hasn't seen this excellent sequel, but I'll use a quote from Trautman to the scumbag Murdock, "You act as if you're dealing with an ordinary man here." George P. Cosmatos's directing is superb, and stays in the middle of the action. The tension and drama isn't silly or bogus; it's superb in my opinion. Cosmatos would later go on to direct the modern-day classic Western, "Tombstone". Buy this movie today. In my opinion, it offers hope and courage that combats the Vietnam fiasco. It's anti-war piece....showing that war really is hell. It also shows there are many true patriots, men like Rambo and Trautman.
Rating: Summary: A LIVE ACTION COMIC THAT RONALD REAGAN MUST LOVE Review: The only good thing about this piece of schlock is that it wasn't boring.It doesn't do much justice to real life vietnam vets nor does it hide any pretense of portraying realism in war.My favorite scene has to be when RAMBO was in the helicopter and he fired a LAW without taking a shred of damage to himself or his copter.If you want an action movie without much intelligence,check it out.
Rating: Summary: Rambo 2 Is awesome! Review: THis is one of the greatest action movies I've ever seen...especially coming out of the 80's! Sly is great in the series...and this one is one of the best Sly movies I've ever seen, if not the best.
Rating: Summary: Lil C Review: This is a great movie for both action lovers and drama loversit has tons of action. Has a good plot and it has great and smart action.
Rating: Summary: nice follow up to First Blood Review: Personally , I liked this film. The overall picture and the script was a nice follow up to First Blood. Rambo was made to be a "bigger than life" character , so who better than him to send on this mission? Colonel Trautmen (Richard Crenna) visits Rambo in jail and tells him there is a mission. Rambo doesn't hestate to accept. Captain Murdock heads the operation and tells Rambo that he needs to go on a mission back to Vietnam to see if there are any hostages still there , but he only wants him to take pictures , basically leaving him for dead. As the movie goes on Rambo discovers Murdocks' plan and must survive the Vietnam jungles all over again to get revenge on him. This movie is action packed and very stallonish if you like sly , which I'm sure you do. Besides this is old haven't you seen it?
Rating: Summary: David's Rambo-fest Review: When i saw this movie, i thought i was going to cry because of the way stallone acts. he is so realistic when he makes his movies. he even happens to be my role model. I hope he continues to make more movies, and even more RAMBO films. this movie touches everyone who sees it. When stallone pulls out his big M-16, i get moved so much, it makes me cry and ask for my mummy until the next morning. I hope i can review more films and that you enjoy my input on these great films.
Rating: Summary: Probably the most fun of the three Review: Few will argue that "First Blood" wasn't a VERY effective film, but it is a difficult film to watch with your 3-year old. Rambo II, however, is just about perfect. It stands up very well visually, dispite being steeped in a cold war plot. It also showed admirable restrait regarding language: using *bad* words only as accent to the plot instead of burying the viewer in them as "First Blood" did. Rambo III unfortunately couldn't even hold the attention of my 3-year old. No jungles I guess...
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the first one Review: It is disappointing that "First Blood, Part II" doesn't live up to it's predecessor, but it is still a good movie. Add the fact that the DVD version is nigh onto perfect sound and picture-wise, it is a wise purchase for any Stallone fan. The "I'm going to get you" aspect at the end doesn't do much to further the story, but overall this is a worthy addition to any action movie collection. Look for the boxed set of all three, a real bargain.
