Review of Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) by Devin R — 25 Jun 2009
I think FIRST BLOOD: PART II is every bit as entertaining as the first, but this one is loaded with even more sweaty, muddy, fiery action. John Rambo is brought in by the military to go back to Vietnam on a top secret mission to help resuce POWs left behind on the battlefield.
In true Rambo fashion, he's a one-man-army; carving out a devastating path of death and carnage. Stallone is given a little bit less to do as a character. I think as the series progressed and his charactered hardened, he talked less and less, but his role this time around is a bit more simplistic.
What makes this sequel--writen by Stallone & James Cameron--work is that the one ally that Rambo had at the end of FIRST BLOOD now becomes his enemy; being left for dead by the military. BIG mistake! FIRST BLOOD: PART II is pretty much non-stop action from start-to-finish, and for action junkies this one is a pretty sweet package.
