Reviews:

Confined during Uncle Sam’s pleasure, “John Rambo” (Sylvester Stallone) is offered a chance of freedom by his former CO “Trautman” (Richard Crenna) but that means his return to Vietnam where he must try to rescue some POWs. It’s not exactly a sanctioned operation, so he knows that it’s risky – he will have little support from his own side and can expect a great deal of peril as the jungle, the VC and brutal megalomanic “Podovsky” (Steven Berkoff) stand in his way. Although it is quite well stitched together, and it doesn’t hang about, I found the jeopardy of this film completely lacking. The usually reliable Berkoff is just too much of an ham right from the start of his sparing appearances and neither Crenna nor Charles Napier’s “Murdock” add much to the mix either. The predictable ending as our agile, bullet-proof strongman strives to free his colleagues and deal with a bit of betrayal/duplicity from within his own camp – though accompanied by plenty of stealth, rocket-fire, pyrotechnics and explosions – is all just a bit jaded. The photography and action scenes do benefit from a big screen, if you can, but neither the acting nor the really stilted dialogue are going to have you gripped. Sorry – not a patch on the original film.

The two problems I have with this highly intelligent experience is that John Hambone keeps leading the enemy soldiers in pursuit through populated areas. He is putting innocent Vietnamese villagers at risk from gunfire.

Why did he not consider the safety of the innocent villagers?

He also killed a chicken. _What gave him the right to slaughter the chicken?_

Other than these minor gripes – this highly intelligent film will please most intellectual viewers seeking something more than a basic, gung ho action film.

Rambo is an Icon
Sylvester Stallone has one of the most recognizable faces in the world for a reason; this genius has created two pop culture Icons Rocky and Rambo. Anywhere, in the world these two characters will be reconized. Stallone has many detractors, but his vision, writing, and acting out these characters has made him rich and sucessful in a highly competitive industry. Before Rambo, his sequel to First Blood, Stallone was just a star like Gene Hackmen, but this movie created a mega star. As part of gen x I love this film, it is a prototype for many action films that followed. The story brings out raw emotions, tension, and adrenaline. The viewer relates with John Rambo his pain, and how the government lies. The action takes the viewer on a incredible ride. I love the battlecry he gives out when he does a chopper assault on the bad guys, and the explosive arrow that smashes his adversary, along with the machine gunning of the computer system at the base. The camera angles, expressions, and physical acting is perfectly done. You leave the picture feeling good, and that is what movie escapism should be. Stallone, who is ridiculed, along with Arnold for his physical acting, can with this ability create a great stage presence. This emotion he creates with his body is done by, how he walks, flexs his arm etc. Could Robert De Niro done this film, maybe(ie Cape Fear) Tom Cruise no way, Val Kilmer No. This film is what an action film should be, I’ve seen very few lines for an Action movie as long as this one. PS the speech at the end gave the spirit of what the film was about.

The transition to ultimate action flick is flawless and this is one of the all time greats…
Some will say that nothing will top the original Rambo and I couldn’t disagree more because I was under the impression that Rambo had always been an action series but the first film (see my review) had far more of a dramatic curve to it and less action. Then they came back with First Blood Part 2 and completely changed the face of this series, and of action films in general. The eighties was the ultimate decade for no holds barred, blowing things up, guns blazing, bad guys dying, gratuitous violence and F-Words, and action heroes and First Blood 2 might have been the start of all of that because it is the true Action Genre fan’s dream film. The body count is astronomical and these aren’t innocents in the wrong place like the first time…these are bad Vietcong and Russian war mongers holding prisoners so Stallone’s Rambo can rip through them. After seeing First Blood I think the immediate question on anyones mind is…”When do I get to see Rambo become this killing machine that we get a glimpse of?” and the film makers and Stallone (who wrote this installment) said ‘RIGHT NOW!’ and they deliver and make us understand completely Rambo’s brutal machine-like soldier personality and experiences.

Sylvester Stallone returns in full form as John Rambo and doesn’t forget all the work he put into establishing this character in the original film. He’s still quiet, angry, brooding, and finding his way in a U.S. Prison after being locked up after the events of the first film. But now he’s got a mission that he can’t turn away from. Stallone is the ultimate killing machine and yet the film still has the back bone of a story. Again (like First Blood) the final scene and dialog between Stallone and Crenna is really quite moving. Stallone is right on track and at the top of his game. Richard Crenna returns as Stallone’s only friend and the only one he trusts. Crenna never gets very involved in the story or gives a lot of arc to his character but he’s the balance to Rambo’s character and he is decent for that and a staple to the series. Charles Napier takes over from Brian Dennehy as the hard ass military man who becomes more of a nemesis to Rambo than an ally. He is great in his role and the final showdown with him and Rambo is classic. Julia Nickson-Soul is also very good as Rambo’s love interest and quasi-partner who saves his skin a couple of times. They don’t get a lot of time to establish their romance and yet they still somehow make it believable.

Obviously First Blood 2 isn’t some Oscar worthy masterpiece. But from an action genre perspective it’s truly mind blowing. I mean the action is non-stop with spectacular fight scenes, and nail biting escapes including an unbelievable Helicopter chase that leaves you on the edge of your seat. But then you also have an actual story underneath it all about these POW’s tortured for years and you have the continued emotional and physical battle Rambo plays with himself over the war and how he’s treated by his country. It’s not a perfect movie. I think the Rambo series is one of the worst for stereotyping races…the picture perfect Vietnamese accents in English, and same with the Russians. Crenna is rather dull in the film as he was in the first one. But focus on the action and the sequences and the story and if you love action films this is one that will absolutely blow your mind. This is the second time I’ve seen it and it’s going right into my keep pile because this is one movie I’ll be watching again and again. Its 80’s action CLASSIC PERIOD!! 9.5/10
