Rambo III

Pros: Interesting setting
Cons: It's just another dumb action film

After raking in some $150 million at the box office with RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2, producers Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna were again approached with the idea for making a sequel. After some deliberation Sylvester Stallone, who essentially made the...

Pros: Great action bits, with a strong story to back it up.
Cons: Mastering issues with the subtitles means we get no Russian translation.

John Rambo - kind of like Jason Voorhees - is one of those movie icons that everyone knows even if they've never see one of the movies he comes from. Muscular, well oiled, shirtless, headband and RPG launcher (that's rocket propelled grenade, and not ...

Pros: .
Cons: .

Rambo III is the final entry into the Rambo series of films, and in this reviewers opinion, it's the weakest. It opens up with Rambo in a Buddhist monastery, living a life of peace and tranquility, Oh wow, great way to open a lads movie, before ...

Pros: It ends after 100 minutes; setting was a promising one, though
Cons: Bad, formulaic screenplay; Rambo is no longer believable

One of the sad realities of movie-making is that if you make a really successful stand-alone film (whether it's original or based on a novel) and it brings millions of dollars to the releasing studio's coffers, chances are that either the big wigs in the ...

Pros: Get to see Trautman fight (a little), more Soviets to kill
Cons: Even LESS acting, not even a speech, historical value

Rambo III is your typical action movie, starring again, the "war machine" John Rambo. This time, the setting is Afghanistan, where Rambo must rescue Trautman (and whole Afghanistan, it seems) from a sadistic Soviet commander who sends helicopter gunships...

Pros: Initial sequence; Rambo taking care of business
Cons: Weakest of the three John Rambo movies; most unbelievable of the three John Rambo movies

What would Rambo do in Afghanistan today? Would there be a Rambo IV? Would Rambo return to Afghanistan to rescue Masoud? Would Masoud give an order to have Rambo killed? It is amazing how times have changed since the last John Rambo movie,...

Pros: Great action
Cons: Only an action flick

Directed by Peter MacDonald, this film opens with John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) in Thailand seeking peace, when he is found by Col Trautman (Richard Crenna) and Griggs (Kurtwood Smith).  Rambo learns that Col Trautman has been assigned to ...

Pros: Action Action Action
Cons: Not as good as First Blood

Rambo III is a quality movie just like its two predecessors. Sylvestor Stalone proves once again why he is one of the greatest action adventure stars of all time. Rambo III takes John Rambo into Afghanistan to save his life long friend Colonel...
