Rambo III

Take an awful idea. Cast a really bad actor who can't talk. And you have Rambo III. Even the title is wrong. We had 1st Blood and 1st Blood Part 2. So this is First Blood Part 3. NOT Rambo 3. Unless they changed the titles of the previous 2 films and never told anyone. Anyway, now that rant is over lets talk about sex. Well, I wish I could but I've got to review this pile of rubbish 1st. 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 Curtwood Smith to go on a mission to Afghanistan to help some local rebels fight the Russians. He refuses and Trautman goes alone and gets captured which means Rambo decides to go and rescue him all on his own. The Afghan village is attacked by the Russians in helicopters (for seemingly no reason) and they decide to leave and one man decides to help Rambo. Also an annoying young boy who is told in no uncertain terms NOT to come with them. Of course he disobeys and gets them (and himself) injured and Rambo sends his guide and the boy away. Of course he rescues Trautman and some locals also held in the same prison. Steals a helicopter and we're suddenly stealing wholesale from First Blood Part 2. Escaping in a helicopter. Destroying an enemy helicopter and crashing. Then Rambo kills what seems like hundreds of Russian commando's and he and Trautman only have to walk across an empty plain to freedom until half the Russian Army turn up AND an attack helicopter taken again from First Blood Part 2. Of course the Afghans turn up and help Rambo who finally kills the Russian Commander in his helicopter using a tank he captured. Weak film and even weaker ending.

Rambo is Rambo. He resides above the realm of reality and that's why we love him. Its the perfection of what men want to be when young. Its full of action, silly humor, great one liners, testosterone and how man should act. It played in a different time where US was training the Taliban and where the enemy was the bad russian, but that's part of life and history. Like I said, a classic Rambo movie.

This looks like real war including bosnian war, afghanistan war, world war, and many wars. Also looks like many pc games like call of duty, battlefield, counter strike...which made me motivated to watch it, and vice versa (to play such games). Good motivator for real soldiers or anybody in any war. Good graphics, very real. The only thing I did not like in this sequel compared to all the others is that there are some too boring parts and too much talk or nothing happening, and small annoying things. But the action, shooting, confrontation, playing part is perfect.
