Movie Reviews of Rambo III
Movie Review: Third blood
Summary: 3 Stars
John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) goes to Afghanistan to pull his mentor Col. Trautman's (Richard Crenna) fat out of the fire after he is captured by the Russians. That's all there is to the plot. The action is better than Part II and it doesn't display that film's distasteful disregard for the lives of foreign noncombatants, so at least it's a step up from that execrable flick, though neither of them holds a candle to the genuinely enjoyable first film. Sure, it's ridiculous and retarded, but if that's what you're in the mood for, you've come to the right movie.Movie Review: Problem more with Amazon than the movie.
Summary: 3 Stars
Movie is great. Movie showed up with a broken case and without the Ultimate Edition case sleeve that comes on the movie if you buy it in the store. I would recomend this movie but buy it in a store and not from Amazon.Movie Review: The worst Rambo but still fun
Summary: 3 Stars
This one is without a doubt the worst Rambo movie in the series. Still, it's pretty fun to watch. I love the Rambo movies and if you do too you should enjoy this movie.Movie Review: Only Slightly Better Than Part II
Summary: 2 Stars
The second edition of the First Blood series featured little more than mindless action, never-ending explosions, and a bevy of guns with unlimited ammunition, eschewing the gritty, psychological approach of the original. I was hoping that this third installment would harken back to what made that first one so memorable, but was only marginally better than Part II.
For a basic plot summary, this time John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) finds himself in the middle of the Afghanistan/Soviet conflict after Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna) is captured.
Unfortunately, "Rambo III" takes the "Rambo as superhero" approach once again, focusing on the brawn and automatic gunfire instead of any deep or interesting political or psychological subject matter. There's a little bit more character development than the second effort, and the plot is a titch better as well (seeing as how it was based on a real-life conflict), but overall it once again disappoints.
There's a reason why it took 20 years for Sly Stallone to return to this franchise after this film, and it's because this second lackadaisical effort in a row killed off interest in the franchise until the "reboot" years of recent filmmaking. It won't bore you as much as Part II, but it won't have you cheering like you did at Part One, either.
Movie Review: Enough with the Russian translation Sub-titles
Summary: 2 Stars
Whoever thought it a good idea to translate all the background Russian dialog and place it in big yellow letters on the screen should be shot. It adds absolutely nothing to the movie and this dialog was clearly never meant to be translated. It is distracting to have "For the Motherland" or "Stop, dog. Stop dog" blaze onto the screen in the middle of an action sequence. And, yes, there is no way to turn it off.
