Summary: "Murdock, I'm comin' to get YOU!"
Review: ARTISAN Entertainment's release of RAMBO: First Blood Part II should be the standard by which all DVD's are judged - excellent picture (with the exception of a few minor lines in a couple of scenes), great sound, plus a veritable plethora of special features. For starters, RAMBO comes in a "keep case," not one of those junky "snap cases" you get from Warner Bros. The cover photo is printed right on the disc, a feature Disney is now bragging about as if they invented the idea. The disc itself contains the digitally mastered widescreen version of the film; a very interesting commentary track with director George Cosmatos; vocally enhanced motion menus; theatrical trailer; production notes; cast and crew info; a fun trivia game; and to top it all off, the documentary, "An American Hero's Journey!" What more could you ask for? As any good American knows, RAMBO is the classic sequel to First Blood, and stars Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, Richard Crenna as Colonel Trautman, and Charles Napier as the nefarious CIA Special Operations officer, Murdock. This time, the intrepid "one man army" is sent on a mission to search for POW's in Vietnam. But Murdock orders him not to engage the enemy, just take pictures. Of course, Rambo is not satisfied to stop at photography; he means to bring his fellow soldiers home -- at all costs. Abandoned by Murdock's men, Rambo fights a war with both the Vietcong and the Russians all by himself - and very effectively I might add! The ultimate action thriller, "RAMBO: First Blood Part II" is a film no DVD collection should be without. A+Note that Rambo: First Blood Part II is rated R for lots of violence, gunplay, and really COOL explosions!

Summary: You have to escape reality to watch this one
Review: Just temporarily discard your sense of reality for a couple of hours and cheer this fictitious American hero on! There are plenty of exciting action scenes and vivid cinematography in this film where Stallone plays an enlarged GI Joe doll that's come to life.

Summary: Cheese-Ballin'
Review: I've never laughed so hard in my life! I am a big Stallone fan, but you have to admit - all the lines everyone's says are SO CHEESY!!!! Here's an example: "To win a war, you must become war" (ooohh I'm scared), (with the lightning in the background) "Murdock, I'm coming to get you.", and the famous line - "Find 'em, or I'll find you!". Wow, what 80's independence cheese-ball lines I've ever heard. Can you believe James Cameron helped Sly to do the screenplay for this? If you want a good Rambo movie, Rambo I and III are the best. Don't touch this one unless you want a good laugh.

Summary: Classic!!!
Review: This film is absolutely a classic. 1st and 3rd part wasn't so good, in fact, not at all. On the other hand, this is fantastic movie. Music is great, atmosphere is great, I have no reason why not give all 5 stars to this movie.

Summary: Among the Best
Review: This movie belongs in the same class of movies as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the James Bond series, and the Star Wars trilogy. A work of sheer genius--this one should be studied in university film classes.

Summary: "Murdock, I'm coming to get you!"
Review: Great action film not deserving of the Razzie Award for Worst Picture. The best of the "let's-go-back-to-Vietnam-and-rescue-some-P.O.W.'s-and-kick-some-ass-while-were-at-it" movies. Mindless, comic-bookish, and just plain great!

Summary: The best out of the Rambo series.
Review: This is a very good action movie. I doesn't really have a plot to it, it is just about Rambo has to go take pictures of POW's in a supposedly embty vietnamese camp, but he is ordered not to engage the enemy. But once he gets there and relizes that it is not empty, and there are in fact POW's, he does engage the enemy, and the man in charge leaves orders him to be left. Then he kills about a couple hundred people and rescues about ten POW's. It is really good and you should see it.

Summary: A very good fake action movie
Review: This is a very good fake action movie forget Commando.I say fake because it is in no sense realistic.Don't watch expecting realism,plot,or acting this is action not a drama.Johnny Rambo if you can recall went to prison at the end of the first one and is offered a chance to see daylight on the condition he lives through this mission.Well Johnny would be an idiot if he said no and the ending credits would roll about 3 minutes into the movie.So obviously John says yeah and off he goes with his implements of destruction into the jungles of Vietnam.Along the way he is partnered with a choppy-english-speaking undercover Intelligence agent who asks Rambo irrelevent things to bring some humanity to prepare for a body count.Well john is uppity about killing people so he doesn't hesitate to kill a few soldiers outside the camp perimeters.He does it with perfection and obviously has good taste.Well as you can imagine he kills a bunch of people,gets captured and electrocuted,narrowly escapes being a shishcabob,and gets his hands on a huey loaded with infinite ammo made especially for Rambo to obliterate the war camp.This scene is rather overdone.But this is a good movie for fans of the genre.

Summary: A senseless gory film, but it is fun anyway!
Review: I saw that film some years ago and i liked it. It is brutal, there is a lot of unmorality in it, but it is still one of the best movies concerning war and action so far. So you just need to turn off your brain and watch that one!

Summary: "Rambo" DVD Review
Review: Where "First Blood" was a low-budget sleeper hit about a Vietnam vet still caught up in the nightmare, "Rambo" is a much larger and more elaborate fireworks display of an action film. Stallone's John Rambo is offered a potential pardon if he returns to Vietnam and brings back proof that there are still American soliders being held captive there. While there, he starts a one-man war against the sadistic Vietnamese soldiers and their Russian counterparts (led by everyone's favorite villian Steven Berkoff). "Rambo" is in may ways a marketable action vehicle for Stallone using patriotism as a good excuse to use every weapon imaginable to blow up everyone and everything in sight. While it does try to provide a message about the war and its importance, it is rather difficult to take this loud over-the-top live action toy commercial seriously as a "message movie". As a fun piece of adrenaline-filled action, it does however do its job.
