BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

rambofanlife-41678 First Blood (1982) is the best in the Rambo series, it is my personal number 1 favorite action film in the action genre. The best Rambo action movie in the genre that started one men army action movies. I am a huge Rambo fan and I love John Rambo character. I love First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo to death. I love them so much it is my favorite film series. I love First Blood to death this is my personal favorite action film. "First Blood" doesn't deal with CGI nor does it deal with special effects. It deals or tries to deal really hard on what is real. I love Rambo movie this is my personal favorite film series franchise.This is my comic book hero this is my childhood movie the movie I grew up with it. This is the best movie ever my all time favorite action movie. It is the best of the best of all time. Sylvester Stallone co-write the script and started and the men can act, he is an action hero on screen in my opinion his best film. Mine is Rambo action hero, I grew up watching Rambo movies on VHS I hardly find it in the video store as a kid. I love Rambo's Survival Knife he rally's on his knife. I love that John Rambo is a human been who want's just to eat in a town, but his pushed to far from corrupt police officers and he is forced to fight back. I love First Blood and it is the best one so yeas it is my personal favorite action film. Great acting from Sylvester Stallone, Brian Dennehy and Richard Crenna. I love Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) and that he is a Korean war veteran and not some dumb Sherrif who can't handle nothing. Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle was excellent bad guy he performs his character well, he doesn't give up I love that in the film. Rambo was a veteran of the Vietnam War, which gained a lot of attention and not Korean War: a war which most people had all-but-completely-forgotten at this point in time. I love Colonel Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna) I love the character and his acting performance. I love those three characters so much. First Blood remains the best in the series it doesn't deal with CGI or special effects everything is for real and it deals what is real. Rambo is a human been not a machine and he bleeds, he is hurt, he doesn't kill anyone. Beautiful score from Jerry Goldsmith. It remains a classic and the best one in the series. I love how Rambo doesn't kill anyone, tough he was trained to kill in Vietnam. Rambo fighting skills from Viatnam are on the test in the woods in which Guards are hunting him, while he hunts them, setting those booby traps and puts police officers in the painful situations. Rambo climbs the wall of mountain and is been pursued by a helicopter and the police officer becomes the killer and try's to shoot Rambo with a riffle. Rambo jumps and hangs him self on the tree. That jump was for real and Sylvester Stallone really performed it. John Rambo uses M60 machine gun and shoot up various stores in town including police station destroys the gun store and gas station. Brian Dennehy and Richard Crenna both acted opposite Sylvester Stallone and they both acted well.First Blood is the best in the series it was beautiful directed from Ted Kotcheff and it was beautiful music score from Jerry Goldsmith and a beautiful song played on the end It's a Long Road Music by Jerry Goldsmith. 10/10 Grade: Bad-Ass Seal Of Approval My personal favorite action movie of all time.

betty dalton I hate dumb action movies and Sylvester Stallone often stars in them, but "Rambo First Blood" is an exception to the rule. This is truly a well made action movie with a great revenge theme in it. The story: a deranged vietnam vet flees jail. 90 minutes of pursuit follows. Will he live, will he die?I hesitantly put on this movie, expecting the worst dumb action movie, but I got pleasantly surprised. There is a lot of attention for detail: great glorious american soundtrack. I mean really only americans can make such a gloriously suspenseful soundtrack. Compliments to Jerry Goldsmith. Great photography too, I mean really great camerawork with pursuit scenes that actually uses stuntmen instead of computer generated action. Long takes without cuts. Real explosions too. Yes, for those too young too remember, there was a time when many explosions in movies were actually REAL. NO GREEN SCREEN and NO CGI. For a moment I even thought they used actual REAL machineguns too, because in one scene an entire builing gets blasted by a huge handheld machinegun and it looks damn real. The stuntmen get special praise in the end credits. They get top billing. That's unusual, but when you have seen the actionscenes you will understand why."Rambo First Blood" is a thrilling action movie with great acting in it. Acting is always paramount, even in an action movie. Bad acting spoils the credibility of the characters. Only explosions and chases alone cant make an action movie a classic. Fortunately "Rambo First Blood" is a joy to watch. There are 3 lead characters in it, of which 2 are full blown enemies of eachother. It sure makes for an enticing thrilling watch. It has become a modern classic, however critically gutted it was back in the eighties, it was still one of the biggest most popular action movies of the entire eighties! And it still stands tall today. Hard as a rock.

garthlotel So much more than just a great action film, First Blood has everything. A sympathetic hero, a chilling yet relatable villain, a stunning backdrop and a moving story. First Blood is a slow-burning, thrilling, inventive, deeply thought provoking, action-packed commentary on the way we treat war veterans. John Rambo is also possibly the greatest action hero ever created and Stallone's acting is .... simply perfect. The incredible, emotional scene towards the end was a sublime and moving performance that I didn't know Sly was capable of. One of the most satisfying films you will ever watch.

stevenrotherforth First BloodAmidst the action movies of the 80's First Blood is one of the greatest. Not for the action or the explosions but for the stand out performance by Sylvester Stallone. An underrated actor who is as much to blame for the negativity that is often bestowed upon him. He has made some poor movie choices throughout his career but First Blood certainly isn't one of them. The film is based on the novel by the same name written by David Morrell and tells the tale of John Rambo. A Vietnam war veteran who on his return home finds that his country doesn't want to accommodate him anymore. He wanders from state to state, a drifter with no purpose. All his friends have been consumed by the war either on the field or by the chemicals sprayed on to the fields. The opening scene of the film describes this to heart wrenching effect. Alone in the world Rambo stumbles upon a small town where all he wants is to get something to eat. He is bullied and made unwelcome by the towns sheriff played by Brian Dennehy. From here on the story unfolds as local law enforcement mistreat the drifter causing him to retaliate. Stallones performance here is at first subdued before over boiling with fury. He looks gaunt, undernourished and tormented. The fear is apparent in his eyes. But there's also a rage there too. A fire that still burns, a war that wages within him. He was extracted from a war he was told he wasn't able to win. He was returned home to a country that seemed to not care for him. A country that he had sworn to serve. A country that he loved but didn't love him back. When the switch in Rambos head is flipped and he goes off like a land mine all those around him, all those who crossed him will pay. Stallone doesn't have much dialogue in the film except right at the end where a broken man finally breaks down, confiding in the only friend he has left. Colonel Trautman played brilliantly by Richard Crenna. In the novel Rambo dies. Killed by his only friend. In the movie obviously he survives as several silly inferior sequels followed. First Blood should be judged as a stand-alone film and not have the cartoon like sequels tarnish its brilliance. The movie is wonderfully shot and has a fantastic score by Jerry Goldsmith. With a strong cast and a career best performance by Stallone this film has stood the test of time. A character study of a man broken by war and it's aftermath.
