Amazon.co.uk Review
After IRocky/I and its sequels, Sylvester Stallone cast about for another character that would bring him the same kind of box-office hit--and found it in disillusioned Vietnam vet John Rambo in IFirst Blood/I, a solid little action thriller. So when all else failed, Stallone went back to the same well in hopes of recapturing the same commercial success. Which this film did. But where IFirst Blood/I was a no-nonsense thriller that pitted Stallone against a worthy (and not necessarily bad) Brian Dennehy, this one is a sadistic chest-thumper in which Rambo gets to go back to Vietnam: ostensibly, he is there to rescue missing POWs, but in fact the movie was a lame excuse for him to refight the Vietnam War--and win. Audiences ate up the cruel Vietcong (and their Russian manipulators) and Stallone's bogus heroics, but it was strictly by-the-numbers action. --IMarshall Fine/IpThe IRambo/I trilogy is also available on DVD as a complete set.

Silly, entertaining and as realistic as any Jerry Bruckheimer movie August 8, 2008
This film has some really funny action but it's all pretty flat as far as reality. No woes - it does what it says on the tin. Lots of crash bang wallop and no shortage of naughty soldiers for Sly to reduce to atoms.br /Watch out for the world's silliest dogfight and the snottiest Ruskie going. Great fun.
aged somewhat but if you want blood then you got it May 27, 2008
Rambo first blood part two is a 1985 film that follows on from a very captivating first film but this time throws emotion out the window and goes for a manly over the top bloodfest with nothing in the way of conscience or feeling,this is a film that helped pave the way for the muscle bound series of films that littered the 80s and yes i enjoyed most of them,this has aged somewhat but is still an over the top,silly and good wee show that while unrealistic still ticks all the boxes when it comes to mindless violence.br /Stallone pulls just one face all day in this and blasts bullets like nothing from this world,i thought the love story was forced and stupid but this is one film that you can fire on and watch and know that it wont ask anything from you and you shouldnt ask anything from it.
 Poor Sequel to First Blood February 25, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
After his violent rampage in First Blood, Vietnam war hero John Rambo is serving hard time breaking rocks in prison when he is offered a chance at freedom by his mentor Col. Trautman. If Rambo will agree to go back behind enemy lines in Vietnam to gather evidence that the Vietcong are still holding American POW's, then the President will pardon his crimes. Soon Rambo is parachuting into the jungle armed with nothing but a Bowie knife, bow and arrows and a red headband. br /br /Whilst First Blood was a surprisingly good action thriller, First Blood part II is just an excuse for unimaginative violence. The dialogue is poor considering James Cameron co-wrote it (I wonder how much Stallone re-wrote?) and the story is as weak as Stallones performance. As it says in the Amazon review above, First Blood II was just an excuse for America to fight the Vietnamese and win. There are some decent action moments and anyone who was a kid in the 80's will no doubt enjoy it a bit, but unfortunately the franchise went downhill after the original. br /br /Like this? Try: Predator
More shallow than part one, but enjoyable all the same June 25, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When we left John J Rambo at the end of First Blood, he was being carted off to jail for his various crimes against small town police officers. In this sequel, his old war buddy Colonel Troutman pulls him out for a special mission: he's to go back into Vietnam and gather evidence that American troops are still being kept prisoner there. Did you hear that, Rambo? Just gather some evidence. Once he's there, however, Rambo goes all, well, Rambo again, and before you know it he's single-handedly re-fighting the Vietnam war with the aid of some explosive-tipped arrows, his trusty giant serrated knife, and a pretty Vietnamese girl. Oh, Rambo... For a man who's supposed to be a good soldier, you're not very good at following orders.br /br /After the interesting mix of action and commentary on the mistreatment of veterans in part one, part two takes the story and the character in a different direction. Gone is First Blood's shell-shocked misfit who was pushed too far, and in his place we have a one man army on a crusade to right the wrong of America's defeat in Vietnam. This is the Rambo who would become one of the more hyperbolic representations of American might, which doesn't quite sit right with the feel of the first film.br /br /That said, if it's overblown eighties action you're looking for, this one should suit you fine. It's all pretty ridiculous, but there's a certain amount of entertainment to be had from watching Rambo as he shoots half the Vietnamese army, stabs the other half, and blows up a bunch of Russians for good measure - all while surrounded by some kind of magical bulletproof forcefield. This is ninety minutes of fighting, explosions and helicopters, plus Sylvester Stallone flexing, clenching and squeezing every ounce of macho energy he can muster out of his 5 foot 7 frame.br /br /When it comes to indomitable (scratch that - invulnerable) heroes, Rambo sits near the top of the tree, so those who can overlook (or maybe even enjoy) the ludicrous excesses of this one will find plenty to like.
 Tears, sweat and blood are swapped for pure testosterone. May 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This film was a super success in the cinema halls. Unlike its predecessor, there is far less character development and tears, sweat and blood are swapped for pure testosterone. The screenplay and editing though are brilliant and there is not a single boring moment except the over zealous patriotic ending. Popular during the Cold War period, Rambo 3 unfortunately couldn't repeat the success of this installment.
