ACTING 10/10 : All in all, great acting for the time. Stallone's breakdown on the finalé is top notch.SOUNDTRACK 8/10 : It sets the tone just right.SPECIAL EFFECTS 10/10 : Everything that needs to feel real, feels real.PLOT 9/10 : There's nothing to the plot that really stands out. Basically, a bunch of looney cops thought it was going to be a good idea to pick on a killing machine that happens to be a really nice fella that is damaged inside by his inner demons because of his past. The finalé is what we are in for here and sets the persona of Rambo.OVERALL 9/10 (9.25/10) : A must for lovers of good old action flicks. Simple plot that works just right. It sets the persona of Rambo and marks the beginning of a saga.

In the early eighties, the only chance you will see Rambo as a young teenager is if someone , or a classmate owned a Betamax player. That's right folks. However monstrous that player looked like ( to me even bigger than the TV set itself as I recall ) , our small gang was lucky to have a Larry, and his dad loves Rambo so we were able to taste our first blood ( figuratively speaking) For an impressionable young person at that time, my jaw literally dropped on how Rambo ( Stallone) outsmarted the berserk , small town , dictator of a police and how he whacked them all. Sylvester Stallone did a good job, though sometimes the dialogues sounds like mumbling and incoherent. From this very first of all the franchise was he at his rawest, and at his best.

First Rambo movie was also the best. Not an over the top action flick, but more of an emotional thriller(that also still has some cool action). Whoever has seen it knows and who hasn't, should find out how different it probably is from what they expected!

First Blood (1982) is a classic action movie that started all action genre one man army types action movies. It is my personal favorite movie of all time.

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. Yours is Rocky mine is Rambo action hero. I love Rambo's Survival Knife he rally's on his knife. "I could have killed 'em all, I could've killed you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it! Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go! "First Blood is a realistic film portrayed about John Rambo a troubled and misunderstood Vietnam veteran who saw hell in the Vietnam War and he is hunted by the past. Sylvester Stallone plays the character of John Rambo very convincingly and Director Ted Kotcheff brings out the story to an effective scale allowing us to see the action through the character's eyes.. "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. He feels that society is against him and he is angry. The movie has ton's of action, the motorcycle chases. 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. Rambo uses his martial arts to defend him self against abusive corrupt cops to escape. I love how the film shows Rambo trying to survive out in the woods while the guards are hunting him when in turn he is hunting them creating these traps putting these officers in painful situations. The best thing about "First Blood" is that we know that John Rambo was in the Vietnam War and was trained to kill, yet, he doesn't kill a single human in the film on purpose. 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. Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle was excellent bad guy he performs his character well. Richard Crenna is Colonel Sam Trautman who trained and command Rambo in Vietnam for 3 years he is excellent as father figure to Rambo. "First Blood" is the best of the Rambo series mine personal favorite action film . The movie has beautiful music score from Jerry Goldsmith 10/10 Grade: Bad-Ass Seal Of Approval My personal favorite action movie of all time.
