During his career, Sylvester Stallone gave the audience many great
times to remember him.From Rocky and Rambo, to Demolition Man and
Shade, Stallone was always a true super star. As an almost exclusive
action films actor, he brought to the audience for over three decades,
high quality action movies. However, aging is always a problem for such
actors and Stallone could escape it....a little though! His physical
condition is tremendous! Let's not forget that he is almost 62. It is a
fact that his last films did not manage to reach the quality of his
previous successes. Driven, D-Tox, Avenging Angelo and Shade, were
really good films indeed but their shine was not as big as Rocky or
Rambo. That is why Stallone returned with his major two success roles.
Rocky Balboa was excellent and meaningfull. Now it is time for...John
Rambo! This film is simply excellent. Although it is mostly an action
movie it has also deeper meanings such as ethical values and political
messages. Just like Rocky Balboa, John Rambo uses the formula of the
first movie mixed with this of the forth!Monosylabic dialogues from
Rambo meet the political messages of the activists, The violent
reaction of Rambo towards the brutal soldiers is justified by his
ethical code with a deeper meaning that oppresion and injustice
generates strong reaction! Acting as a whole, is very good and
convincing. Stallone is really born to be Rambo and the supporting cast
is made by young actors who meet the quality standards of Milo
Ventimiglia. The project budget is 50m so as you understand there are
many real-like explosions and effects. What is new is the ultra violent
death scenes. They really look true!The story is interesting although
,as you expect, not complicated. To summarize, John Rambo is one of the
best action movies that 2008 will probably bring to us.Also it is a
must to see because not only it is a really good movie but also because
it is the last Rambo film. Stallone even if he is 62, looks no more
than 45 and his condition is impressive. A must for all action film
fans and not only by them, Rambo is a really good film and you should
not miss it.
