Kyle C By this point in the series, Rambo’s hair has evolved into a character of its own: longer, glossier, and somehow more dramatic with every sequel. Rambo III picks up with John living quietly in Thailand, a local legend trying to find peace until his old mentor Trautman shows up asking for “one last job.” This one surprised me. It’s way better than Rambo: First Blood Part II, with stronger pacing, solid sets, and a more grounded sense of adventure (well, as grounded as a movie with exploding arrows and horseback helicopter chases can be). There’s genuine texture to the Afghanistan setting and even a hint of cultural depth that the last movie completely skipped. Stallone’s take on Rambo here has some unexpected softness. He’s still the unstoppable killing machine, but you see flickers of humanity: his quiet respect for other cultures, his kindness toward children, his almost spiritual desire for solitude. My personal headcanon is that Rambo’s on the autism spectrum. It’s the only explanation for his hyperfocus, literal communication style, and total discomfort with normal social interactions. Watching it through that lens actually makes the character more interesting and sympathetic. The movie’s not without its nonsense. Trautman aggressively manipulates Rambo into fighting again, completely out of character for him. The villains make baffling military decisions and the final battle has a truly absurd number of tanks. But even when it’s ridiculous, it’s fun ridiculous. The helicopter explosion, the improvised gunpowder surgery, Rambo charging into battle on horseback with a Molotov cocktail—it all somehow works in that late-’80s, over-the-top action way. It’s far from highbrow cinema, but Rambo III finds a balance between carnage and character that Part II missed entirely. Not as haunting or thoughtful as the first film, but a solid rebound and proof there’s still some heart behind the muscle. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review Raju S Its 2025 and this has aged like fine wine... No woman star roles trying to imitate Rambo coz we got Rambo himself with all muscle, blazing guns, mindless action, kicking communist ass left and right with amazing battle chopper scenes and explosions... Forget those wimps wearing underpants over their pants, here we got a true alpha male with his testosterone pumping 100%. Best enjoyed after switching your brain off with popcorn and friends.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Pablo S Tercera vez que Sylvester Stallone interpreta al veterano de guerra ( que ya no parece serlo ). Si la primera sangre y la Segunda fueron para él y para su país respectivamente esta tercera tendría que ser por el Coronel Trautman interpretado por última vez por Richard Crenna. La película más violenta en esa época (221 actos violentos en toda la película) preparan al público para que supieran que Rambo: First Blood Part II no fue una excepción y el traumatizado veterano de guerra ha pasado ha ser el enésimo héroe de acción inmortal de la época acompañando a John Mclane y a John Matrix (Die Hard Y Comando) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review John R The scene with the horse was top teir Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
