A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Rambo III the third sequel it is my at least favorite film in the series of the three, but i love it for what it is. Still It is an bad-ass kick-ass action film. This is my childhood movie the movie I grew up with it. Yes I know I have said it a lot of harsh things about this film. Still it is Stallone film it is Rambo my favorite comic book hero. It was my first film I saw in the Rambo trilogy it is my childhood film. I am going to watch it every year. Politically I disliked it but as an action film I like it and I am going to judge as an action movie. This movie to me is solid 9.Rambo III is the third installment in the Rambo saga. Sylvester Stallone returns in the 1988 sequel as John Rambo, the former Green Beret, who drops into Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation after his mentor Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna) goes missing following a mission.Rambo III is not really my all time favorite action film it is more ridicules and un believable. I would rather watch Predator 2 or Cobra than this movie. First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part II were both classic films this movie was a step down and mayor disappointment and I am glad Sylvester Stallone made the fourth movie Rambo which I love it more.Here is what love in the movie: Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) fires his explosive C4 tip arrows at the helicopter gunship and destroys the helicopter with his bow and C4 explosive arrow. That is my bad-ass scene in the film Rambo fires an arrow with an attached blue cyalume light at the Soviets in the cave. Those are bad ass scenes in the film. They don't make movies like this in the movies anymore. Sylvester Stallone is in his best shave of his life, he goes under tanks and drag him self that was really difficult but Stallone was muscle so he made it. Rambo has a new survival knife a modified bowie designed and I love how he uses to cut barbed wire on the base perimeter. I love the fight between Rambo and Kourov (Randy Raney) and which Rambo uses a fly kick I love that in the film. Rambo climbs the wall without climbing equipment that is memorable and favorite scene of mine. The film was directed by Peter MacDonald and written was by Sylvester Stallone and Sheldon Lettich who made 4 movies with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Jerry Goldsmith return for the music score the last time for the film, but wasn't memorable in the movie like was for the first two.What can I say Rambo III is a fun action sequel but I enjoy the first two movies more and I enjoy Rambo (2008) MiLES way more. The Deseret scenes in the film were cool. The reason my at least favorite is the action takes 50 min till Rambo goes in to rescue mission. Rambo suppose to be one men army but he wasn't he had help with Mujahedeen's I don't know why and Richard Crenna I like him in the film but he is not memorable in here like he was in the first two movies. Rambo 3 is an okay action film I like it, it could have been much better I love First Blood to death and I love Rambo: First Blood Part II to death, Rambo (2008) I have enjoyed more and I love it to death. 9/10

Movie Review: "Rambo III" (1988)This super-rich in terms of on-screen body-count-celebrating as Guinness-book-of-records enlisting action movie from the 1980s starring Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone directed by former cinematographer Peter MacDonald becomes the back-grounding war-torn emotions of an ex-U.S.-military Vietnam veteran "John Rambo", fighting his way out of the brawling, cash-betting pits of Thailand into an open war-zone of Russian-dominated Afghanistan to go on a rescue mission for his only friend, given face by in human-emotion-indulging actor Richard Crenna (1926-2003), beyond comprehension in favors of spiritually-settled, yet intriguingly-raging war-machine-like main character, healing himself with black powder and fire, when he must push up heavy weaponry up over the legendary explosive-projectile shooting bow to further artillery proportions in this unbelievable action-thrilling motion picture for a suggestive inflation-adjusted 125 Million U.S. Dollars in the today's world of 2018, here executive produced by 46-year-old Mario Kassar, known also for producing "Total Recall" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger directed by Paul Verhoeven in season 1989/1990; an exceptional event movie in motion picture history to ultra-atmospheric end-title-rolling 1980s song by Bill Medley "He Ain't Heavy, He Is My Brother."© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Continuing my plan to watch every Sly Stallone movie in order, I come to another sequel, 1988's Rambo 3.What does Stallone do after two movies under perform at the Box Office?? He usual go to response, was to go into his comfort zone and do another Rocky movie. This time however he opted for another sequel to his second most popular franchise, that starting Vietnam Vet and War Hero John Rambo. With the 'First Blood' part dropped from the title all together and the movie just being called Rambo 3, even though there were was never a Rambo or Rambo 2. Plot In A Paragraph: Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) goes on a mission to aid the Afghanistan freedom fighters against the invading Russain army. He seeks out Rambo (Stallone) for help, he refuses saying his "war is over". When Trautman is captured by the Russains, the one man army goes to save his former Colonel. The one man army routine is now old, as is the mullet!! The dialogue is poor, the villains incredibly dull and it's boring to watch Rambo single handedly take out an entire army yet again.Stallones ego was apparently again out of control, and he had the original director Russell Mulchahey fired, along with members of the cast that he didn't approve of. The most ridiculously over the top movie in the franchise, had the Misfortune of awful timing (Russia left Afghanistan a few weeks before the movie's release) and despite some impressive action set pieces, it just isn't a very good movie.

Sylvester Stallone returns once again to one of his most iconic roles, playing Vietnam Veteran John Rambo, who this time goes to Afghanistan amidst the Soviet Invasion to rescue his Vietnam commander officer, Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna), from being held hostage by the evil Colonel Zaysen (Marc de Jonge).Stallone as Rambo continues to prove he is a force to be reckoned with, wiping away enemy combatants left and right as he displays his very formidable set of fighting and survival skills. It was satisfying seeing him deal with the arrogant and sinister Marc de Jonge and his merciless army, especially when you see the Afghan citizens in peril. Him teaming up with the Afghan rebels and the determined Afghan boy served as a good plot element to the story.Filmed in a fast pace with plenty of action and tension, it is one of Stallone's most intense performances, showing him the will to fight for good and to protect those he trusts and the innocent that are in peril. Despite some of the cheesy acting, it's a very good action sequel for some edge-of-your-seat excitement.Grade B
