Rocky Yes

Advantages: The Whole Film
Disadvantages: -

...said in my review of Rocky Six (Rocky Balboa) there is nothing better than Rocky on Blu-Ray. Having the first Rocky on Blu-Ray really works. Right the run down. The World Heavyweight Championship Apollo Creed comes up with the idea of fighting a local Philadelphia underdog, Rocky. Creed does not initially take the fight seriously, but Rocky unexpectedly knocks him down in the first round and the match turns intense. And when I say intense I mean ...
...all of us, but without Rocky starting it. Do you think it would have court on? The training in this one I have to say is the best out of them all purely for its 'wow' factor, and it was the first time we heard the song which would be burned into our minds forever. Also because the film is so popular, Philadelphia Museum of Art has become a cultural icon amongst fans of the films. The soundtrack, I cant find a fault in it. All the songs were put into ...

Review of Rocky Balboa (Blu-Ray)

A raw, tragic and memorable tale of a real life conflict

Advantages: Rambo is a great character who has aged with us all. A strong story and acting.
Disadvantages: Unfortunately based on some very tragic real life events.

...started. Based on previous Rambo movies, I guess I was prepared to see action, lots of shouting and people running around with guns, tanks and so on and so on. Well I was right to expect those things, but what you get here is a very realistic and emotional tale of a tragic series of events going on in the real world as we speak. The Rambo character has turned himself away from the never ending conflicts, and tried to live a solitary existence in ...
...of my seat constantly as Rambo ran back and forth trying to help the younger, less experienced soldiers win their fight. The fact that this is on Blu-Ray makes the image sharper and more colourful, although the colours in general are dumbed down to make the forest look more dull. The music in this film is sad yet beautiful. A remarkable piece plays at the end of the battle, as the characters stand or sit down stunned at what they've just been through ...

Review of Rambo (Blu-ray)

Rambo Box Set : John Rambo, doing what he does best

Advantages: All four Rambo movies in classy box, can't go wrong
Disadvantages: Crazy OTT action (and hair do's) might not be for everyone

...the finest of the four Rambo movies, but Stallone has made a pretty good job of this franchise. In a novelty ammunition tin box you get all four Rambo movies in one complete set. Each disc has a variety of special features to give you a real insight into the Rambo story, from the creation of the troubled Vietnam-vet through his adventures in America, Afghanistan and Burma. A|s the series goes on the more ridiculous the stories and action gets... ...
...about Stallone, whether he's Rambo, Rocky or whoever, he's loveable. You can't help but like him and want him to succeed, even if it means him destroying hundreds of soldiers to achieve it. If you like Stallone, and more importantly if you like your action movies to be fully loaded and unafraid of the consequences then buy this box set, put your feet up and make an entire night of it, you won't be dissappointed. ...

Review of Rambo - The Ultimate Rambo Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

cult classic b-movie

Advantages: carradine,stallone working wonders together
Disadvantages: made in the 70's so budget lower than now adays and shows

this classic from 1975 hosts a storyline that is set in the year 2000 as they saw it to be then. the story is a mad capped race similar to the canonball run or gumball rally across america with a twist you get points for killing people (running them down) so for the racers its not all about speed but the amount they can run down with a special point system depending of kill i.e kids oaps women men. to add more twists to this already sceptical story ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
