Movie Reviews of Rambo: First Blood
Movie Review: A true classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything about this is brilliant. From Goldsmith's rousing score to Stallone's perfect performance. Yes, you heard me. Stallone does act in this movie. I feel so sorry for Rambo. People are real nasty to him. Especially the deputy with the moustache. He was a real jerk. The scene in which Rambo finally explodes in the jail cell is way cool. The music that goes with this scene is SO intense.
The Pacific Northwest scenery is also very beautiful and atmospheric. The sound design seems to be crafted so that dialogue sound natural like it would in a mountain forest or in dead cold environments where the air cannot carry sound so well.
The Blu Ray looks and sounds brilliant. I highly recommend that you buy this and the soundtrack. This is a proper movie by the way. I know that the character of Rambo became a 'little' exaggerated and silly in the sequels but do not let that alter your opinion of this movie.
Movie Review: A Classical Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an outstanding Stallone movie. Stallone plays the roleof John Rambo,an Army Green Beret. Stallone is going to visit an old war friend when he wanders into the wrong town. He is arrested and treated bad by the local sheriff played well by Brian Dennehy. Rambo retaliates and escapes. The local sheriff's department face the battle of their lives with Rambo.His vast
knowledge of jungle warfare goes well in the mountains of the
surrounding area.Rambo's old commander(played by Richard Crenna)
comes in to save the Sheriff's Department from Rambo. This is a
good movie thar illustrates the Vietnam vet and their life after the war. You movie will make an impression on you.It is a good movie as well with a good plot and plenty of action. You will not be dissapointed.
Movie Review: Surprisingly good DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this DVD as a buy one, get one free offer from Artisan, and my expectations were pretty low. I was pleasantly surprised to find such great menus and features on it. For instance, the scene selections menu contains not only full motion video, but also sound from specific scenes! I have never scene this before on a DVD, not even a Criterion DVD. I loved the menu transitions with the flying bowie knife. The DVD is also jam-packed with all the extras you would normally find on Criterion or the New Line Platinum series. I enjoyed the commentary by the author of the book and was fascinated at the differences between the film and the book. I believe that this is one of the most underrated DVD's out there and it has quickly become one of my favorites in my collection.Movie Review: First Blood is as good as action flicks get.
Summary: 5 Stars
Sly Stallone plays a nam vet whose drifted into the wrong small town. He's not a threat to anyone, but the police don't like change. The police are among the best bad guys from any movie. They're right up there with Hans and crew from Die Hard. Sly's commanding officer is really treat too; "God didn't create Rambo, I did." What an entrance! It has good replay value too, but you have to watch the whole way through. There really aren't any slow parts. If you've only seen Rambo, the most popular of the trilogy, you're missing the best one by far. This movie doesn't get the recognition it deserves, but I rank it among the top action films and movies of all-time.Movie Review: This is not really a 'Rambo' or Stallone film...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is still one of my all-time favorites because of the plausible storyline. It is not Stallone blowing away 200 guys with ease and looking cool while doing it. While he wounds several men only one is killed. My only problem with this film was the cheesy flashback scene which, fortunately, only lasted for a minute and sets the movie into high gear. Brian Dennehy is incredible as Sherrif Teasle. I always get into this film from start to finish and still find the end pretty sad. If you think today's action films all have the same plot (none) then you might find this to your liking.
