Rambo

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

..., just because you don't want to offend the public. If its not your sort of cup of tea, just don't watch it. Without giving away too much of the film, and its ending, its always nice to finally see a happy side to a Rambo film, lets hope Stallone makes one more. I give this film a 4/5 stars. Cast - Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden Rating - 18 (and rightly so) Running Time - 91 minutes (approximately) Writers - Sylvester Stallone, Art Monterastelli Director - Sylvester Stallone Tag Line - Heroes Never Die ... They Just Reload Budget: $50 million Turnover: $100million plus...

Rambo Trilogy

Advantages: Cheap Box Set

There are a few other videos which include creating the reality of war.

Rambo, Russians & Afghans

Advantages: Trautman!
Disadvantages: Stallone is wooden and hard to understand

...Take an awful idea then cast a really bad actor who can't talk. And you have Rambo III. Even the title is wrong. We had First Blood and First Blood Part 2. So this is First Blood Part 3. NOT Rambo 3. Not unless they changed the titles of the previous 2 films and never told anyone. Anyway, now that small rant is over lets talk about sex. Well, I wish I could but I've got to review this pile of rubbish first. We start by catching up with Rambo in Thailand and he's earning some money taking part in Mu Tai Stick Fighting so he's a hustler. But he never keeps his winnings, he gives it to the monks because he's living and helping out at a Buddist temple as an odd job man. He's approached by Colonel Trautman and always "cast as a baddie" Curtwood Smith to go on a mission to Afghanistan to help some local rebels fight the Russians. He refuses...

Review of Rambo 3

RAMBO THE OAP

Advantages: Good action,good acting direction
Disadvantages: Very violent in parts

...The year is 1982 and John Rambo aka Sylvester Stallone makes his first appearance in First Blood. A few years later and I was finally introduced to the joys of First Blood watching it on a coach on the way with my school to see England football team play at the old Wembley stadium. At that time I really enjoyed the film though if I had been able to bet the bookers wouldn't offered me odds for the Rambo franchise to be still going with a new film in 2007, twenty five years from the original and twenty years since Rambo 3. After my introduction to John Rambo in first blood I never bothered to watch another Rambo movie forsaking the two inferior sequels. (In my wisdom or lack of it I have seen six police academy films and 8 Nightmare on elm street films.) That was until last week when I decided to watch the new Rambo movie not called...

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

Rambo is back to his killing best!

Advantages: Great atmosphere, camera work and Rambo the character
Disadvantages: Some characterisation left behind

...Rambo. His ease to kill is amazing, and Sly portrays him brilliantly. Top marks for the Hollywood heavyweight in this one, although the rest of the acting is rather disappointing. My Opinion The biggest thing about this film is Stallone. In taking a contrast between Rocky Balboa and Rambo, the difference between the two films is that Sly seems to have had much more fun making Rambo. In an interview televised a few months ago before I watched Rambo, Sly said he loves making Rambo films and will hopefully carry on doing so for years to come, whereas Rocky he just wanted to give a good ending to after the miserable reception Rocky 5 received many years ago. Rambo is an extremely violent film, with over 260 deaths in the film, and let me tell you now as a warning that they are graphic in the main. I even had to turn away a couple...

Review of Rambo 3 (DVD)

Rambo 3

Advantages: More action and gunfights
Disadvantages: too predictable

...the action really starts as we see Rambo being helped by the freedom fighters, hiding in there tents, under constant threat from the heavily armed Russian army. **IN CONCLUSION** Rambo 3 is a slight improvement on the previous Rambo but again falls short of entertainment compared to Rambo?first blood. However, the story line is well written and the acting has improved considerably since the previous Rambo, but with questionable stunts and some shoddy death scenes this movie still has it's unintentional funny bits. The scenes in the desert are a little drawn out but when the metal bird from the sky makes an appearance the action really takes off. With rescue attempts and gun fight after gun fight this film rolls through until the predictable end but is still worth watching. There is a bit of an over the top ending but it...

Review of Rambo 3

Rambo Reloads for the Last Time?

Advantages: Good storyline, fantastic special effects
Disadvantages: 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 soldier, and don't really like to be reminded of the dangers faced, even if these dangers are grossly exaggerated on the big screen. At this point, I must hasten to add that I have never seen any of the other 3 Rambo films. On sale on Amazon UK for £12.98 on a pre-order for the release date of June 23, 2008. This is obviously better value than purchasing the DVD for full price in the shops but, as always, my advice is to shop around as there are always bargains to be had, even on new releases. ***Synopsis*** The film itself is set 20 years after the end of Rambo 3, John...

John Rambo

Advantages: Plenty of action and Killing
Disadvantages: The last rambo to be made!

...After seeing the first 3 rambo films i couldnt wait to see the last one in the series.Well ican say that the 19 years wait was well worth it.he might be older and not as fit as he was but he can still kick ass as you will see when you see the film,I just wanted the film to keep going and i wasnt happy when it finished because i knew that i had just watched the very last in the sequel.Stallone did a good job writing and directing this film. Right from the start there is people dying i would say that this is the best film yet. it is set in the warzone that they call burma,Rambo now a lot older hadnt gone home to live in america he stayed in Vietnam living a quiet life,Catching Snakes and fishing ro make a living.The Film is about a group of christians who go to burma to help the needed, rambo takes them there on hes boat .Weeks later...
