Politics, not cinema.......2007-06-10

I saw "Rambo" when it first came out, and it stands out more now for its political dimensions than for its cinematic qualities.

It may seem odd, but America tried to tell itself...for quite a while... that it had won the war in Vietnam. "Rambo" said something vividly that may seem uncontroversial today, namely that we had lost in Vietnam. We lost, not because of the failure of the military, but because of a failure of political will. Our Soldiers weren't allowed to win.

If you weren't old enough to see this movie when it came out, you need to see it just because it is referenced and parodied by so many other films.

A must see.......2006-11-18

Boy! I sure am getting old! I remember seeing this in the theater. If your young and reading this review and mocking my opener for this movie, just wait till you hit 44 and start seeing all your movie favorites on Turner Classic Movies! Anyway, this movie is one of Stallones best. It all started with First Blood and you have to see all the Rambo movies to really appreciate what Stallone was trying to do with the John Rambo character. If only we had more Rambo's in our military right now in Iraq! Wow. Get this movie and watch it. You will enjoy it if you like to see the bad guys get their butt's kicked!

A fun Sequel.......2006-11-05

I like Sly's movies and Rambo and the Rocky series are by far some of the best yet flawd movies I have seen, As a kid I loved these films and I still do at 24.

A good extension of the FIRST movie.......2006-01-01

Come to think of it after seeing this sequel to the first movie FIRST BLOOD (based on the novel by David Morrell (wherein the character played by Sylvester Stallone- Johnny Rambo, a soldier who fought in vietnam is killed by the ending))- I find that it's not quite bad at all inspite of what the detractors would say.

Scripted by TITANIC movie mogul director/writer James Cameron - Stallone did more than to work out and really learn a lot of actual skills for his portrayal in this movie, but also came in volutarily for some personal touch of his for the script, and thus this flick which went co-scripted by Stallone himself, makes it a real well thought-out sequel to the previous movie.

This time picked from a prison camp by his superior played superiorly well by Richard Crenna, to take pictures of P.O.W.'s on a vietnamese war camp for evidence, Johnny Rambo is promised that upon the success of his mission -a presidential pardon shall be granted for his release, but Rambo did more than just that. However it turned out, he was framed to an abandon so as to set him up for failure on the mission by one of the superiors who are more concerned on covering his own butt than rescuing the Prisoners of War who are caught in Vietnam.

A lot of emotional juice are drawn regarding the matter concerned with the movie's plotline thematically, the concept purveyed in the movie regarding some validity in coming to love your country in spite of valid reasons there may be to hate it - is something thought provoking. And I'm yet to see how one could apply it personally into one's own system.

Anyhow, overall a good composure and budget is met in the movie with just the right amount and measure. I think, although not to top its predecessor- this sequel is decently good, it's quite alright.

AS FOR the sequel to this sequel RAMBO 3 -- I haven't seen it until recently, since the time when it first came out back in 1989, due to the many bad reviews it had received panned by the "critics' - when come to think of it, it ain't so bad either. On the third installment to the Rambo series, Stallone in the role of this one-man army hero, embarked on a personal mission to rescue Richard Crenna's character who's kidnapped as the hostage by russian terrorists who're operating a war against Afghanistan, shot under the great locales of Israel (rather)... the reason winds apparent why the movie is so panned its that the movie came out during in the time when Nancy Reagan (wife of the former US pres Ronald Reagan) is already making up some truce with the russians during the Gorbachev days and its reform - so needless to say (and yet I'd say it such), that the reason for its bad publicity is nothing short of being political. Actually based on the events of the Russian bombing in Afghanistan back in xmas of 1979 (d-day of my very own late grandmother as well), and its peculiar who would have known that shortly by the turn of the century, there are some connecton to this that such an event would cumulate to a yet another terrorist attack that would shatter the world by the 9/11 incident.

Welp, as for them so-called professional "critics" -- they're only getting paid for doing their reviews, so chances are if they'd promote something as 'that good' , that movie might not be that good at all, the reason why their "professional" opinions are hired is to give a boost of publicity for any soggy film, all for the interest of sales. Thus those critics rather should not be given credit but are best left ignored.

entertaining, but terrible.......2005-03-08

Recently I watched this movie, it was fun but filmwise "DUMB". Come on why would anyone love seeing action and explosions instead of "PLOT" and "CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT" like in the amazing First Blood before it.
