Rambo keeps using missiles to kill one guy at a time and, like, dude, chill out
To celebrate the birth of our beautiful daughter, I watched Rambo 2 (with headphones on). It's been a really great day!
He's a war veteran stricken with PTSD from Vietnam?
EH PUT HIM BACK IN THEREEEEEEEE
Rambo movies ranked: boxd.it/avpYe
Wow this was a big downgrade from the first movie. It was still enjoyable enough most of the time though, but a bit too stupid for it’s own good in many scenes.
The story was a bit weak and except for some fun interactions, you basically only watch this movie for the action.
The action was great and pretty fun. It was full of kills and big explosions but the time between the action scenes could be mildly boring.
The characters had no depth and the movie had none of the emotions from the first one. Rambo didn’t seem to have any ptsd or anything and he was just an ice cold killer, who showed of…
I love the idea that 10 years after the end of the Vietnam War not only are there still POW’s but the POW’s are still being kept in cages in the jungle made of bamboo and not, like, a building
trades in the first film's ambiguity and sorrow for morally bankrupt pulp; reveling in the violent capabilities of our large killing machine son (remember how they were previously investigated for horror and despair?) as he retroactively, single-handedly wins the vietnam war (lol) on a bo-gritz-style conspiracy mission (lmao) while simultaneously killing a bunch of cartoon soviets (lmfao) in the process. but goddamn if the action and images here aren't among the most muscular, vibrant and sweaty the 80s had to offer, not a small feat (*checks who shot it* ah ok, there we go), and holy shit that score. a thoroughly absurd and gorgeous piece of american propaganda. and the helicopter setpiece slaps.
“Sir, do we get to win this time?”
If First Blood represented Carter-era malaise, then its sequel is pure Reagan machismo, simultaneously violent and self-pitying, triumphant and aggrieved. Easily one of the most right-wing blockbusters ever made. As a film, it’s only real virtues are its cinematography and the final action sequence, which is well-paced and thrilling, even if it’s just a revenge fantasy for warmongers who blame politicians and bureaucrats for losing Vietnam.
"Mission...accomplished!"
i've always loved the occasionally abstract, often tableux-like action sequences: Rambo stands on a hill mowing down bad guys with an AK-47...it's basically the poster, and unsurprisingly this became a totem. certainly that jingoism seems noxious now but i'm not the first person to say it's more fascinating as a psychic time capsule than it is actually icky anymore. and the film even manages moments of grace, like when Rambo tells a POW it's 1985, and the look on the man's face is like the human equivalent of the spinning Mac pinwheel, or its fetishization (which i obviously share) of the Mil Mi-28 Hind helicopter gunship, a gorgeously bulky piece of vintage Soviet military hardware aesthetics.
It was never about the story nor plausibility here. Just pure 80s cheesy action entertainer. They upped the action game with much crazier set pieces and wild explosions. The lethal assassin, our one man army in John Rambo turns completely invincible and goes all guns blazing. Sylvester Stallone with machine gun is just the most iconic macho overloaded pop culture poster out there. Legacy solidified.
I love how this franchise just went all out war in this instalment. Rambo basically blows everything up shirtless in this one. The action really does not let up. It’s a ridiculous good time. So much fun.
