Review of Rambo III

Rambo III (1988)
2/10
First Dud Part 3
26 June 2010
About the only thing this installment has going for it is the action. Unfortunately, even the action is poorly done. A shirtless Rambo cuts through the Soviet war machine like a hot knife through butter. At no point does one get the sense that Rambo is in any real jeopardy even when the Russians fire everything short of an atomic bomb at him. The players are cartoonish caricatures. With an A-Team like endless amount of ammunition, absurdly huge knife, and compound bow Rambo is an American killing machine. A Stallone vanity piece that doesn't really even tie in to the original First Blood in any way. It takes a brutal war in Afganistan that ended up spawning the Taliban and simplifies it to the level of parody.
