Rambo

Pros: The action is well executed
Cons: Failed in character development, simply a blood bath

Ever since I heard mention of a new Rambo a couple of years ago, I’ve been wondering whether a fourth installment really was necessary. First Blood was an 80’s classic, the sequel took the character to iconic status, but the third truly was ...

Pros: A nice tight action movie that doesnt let up.
Cons: The gallons of blood used here may put off some sissies.

We've all heard it before - returning to the well several decades after you've capped off a movie series is often a recipe for disaster. People say that the new Star Wars films destroyed the trilogy for them, They couldn’t stand Indy chasing down ...

Pros: A LOT of action!
Cons: Takes itself too seriously.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the only Rambo movie ever made that has ever officially been called just "Rambo." The plot of Rambo would seem very simple from the outside: It is about a washed-up former movie star making an effort to reconnect with his ...

Pros: Thematically interesting, Cinematography, action, central character
Cons: Geopolitically and morally troubling, unnecessary, supporting characters

Sly Stallone once again essays the grizzled, tortured war veteran who in this film has become surly, monosyllabic, and aimless, a heavy-drinking loner barely getting by in Thailand by catching snakes as a sideshow attraction. He’s approached by ...

Pros: Stallone brings it to the next level with state-of-the-art must-see battleground F/X...
Cons: May be too violent for some audiences...

After having exceeded expectations in becoming as a steroid company poster boy for Rocky Balboa, we were expecting Stallone to capitalize on his miracle gains in this film but were mildly surprised. Instead, we were treated to a stockier Sly, more ...

Pros: Direction, Acting, Score.
Cons: Dialogue.

REPRINTED FROM MONDOMAGAZINE.NET: Sylvester Stallone’s pushing at least a hundred by now. Yet for a senior citizen, he hasn’t lost any of his strength, courage, or machismo. Rocky Balboa demonstrated a fine end to the Rocky ...

Pros: realistic, action, good plot, character,
Cons: lots of blood, bad language, very graphic.

Rambo is an action thriller that was released in January of 2008. This 91 minute movie was rated R because of very graphic bloody violence, sexual assaults as well as grisly images. The language in this movie is also very bad as well. The story for ...

Pros: Stallone can still be very realistic and believable as an action hero
Cons: The violence is much bloodier compared to the other Rambo movies

After seeing the most recent Rocky movie and not being impressed...and upon hearing my younger brother's opinion that the newest Indiana Jones movie in theaters was not worth the time, I thought, "Oh, boy. The 80s action heroes from my childhood ...

Pros: Stallone; great action
Cons: Julie Benz; may be too violent for some

Trying to dodge painful memories of his past, Vietnam vet John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is making a life in Thailand where he spends his time salvaging old PT boats and tanks for scrap metal. But his R&R has been interrupted as Christain ...

Pros: totally amazing and lively graphics, sound effects, special effects, action, and scenery
Cons: not for the weak-hearted or overly sensitive

This has got to be the best of the series! Most fourth parts do not come anywhere near it, but this is one of the very few, if not the only exception! This also came out over twenty years after the last "Rambo" film before this one to make it even more ...

Pros: The best of the Rambo series
Cons: A bit dark at times

After Afghanistan (Rambo III) John Rambo has turned his back on the violence, for 20 years he has lived a relatively peaceful existence in isolation; for cash Rambo hunts down Cobra’s and sells them to locals for sport in a small Thai village. Nothing ...

Pros: Good storyline, fantastic special effects
Cons: Not for those with a weak constitution, loads of blood

The Rambo series of movies is not one that I would have openly made an effort to watch, as I am not an outward fan of mindless violence. Give me zombies and vampires any day! I think a lot of my aversion to "war" films is the fact that I am married to a ...

Pros: LOTS of great action.
Cons: Tries to be something its not.

Rambo tries desperately to be something it isn't, a horrifying look at the brutality of war and its effects on a country and a run and shoot action film. Although movies have been done which blend action and war drama, such as Tears of the Sun 99.9% of ...

Pros: Finally a nice, bloody action movie that doesn't beat around the bush.
Cons: Of course, white middle America won't appreciate this film's message.

I've been really irritated with the state of movies in the last few years. Nobody wants to take chances and the movie studios can't seem to stop making movie sequels instead of making something original that doesn't suck. Even worse, is that they've ...

Pros: Solid action.
Cons: Thin on plot and characters, very violent.

It has been almost twenty years since Sylvester Stallone last appeared as the iconic John Rambo. In the ensuing decades, his larger than life portrayal of the troubles Green Beret has faded some, but remained firmly a part of Americana, and to some, ...
