The Making of the Italian Stallion!
Advantages: Great story, good acting, excellent fight scenes
Disadvantages: None from me
...an amazing job with the Rocky films. I have watched them all several times over the years but only just got the DVD, this one being the first.
Stallone plays the role of Rocky Balboa who is a boxer but failed to make t to the big time. He fights in small matches and if he wins he only makes just over $40 so he also works for a debt collector. He uses a gym which is run by Mick but as Mick is angry that Rocky never tried to make it big he looses ...
...In his private life Rocky likes Adrian who works in the local pet shop and he tries to talk to her ever day but she is just too shy. Rocky is friend with her brother and he arranges a date for the pair. Apollo Creed, the heavy weight champion of the world is due to fight to keep his title in a few months in Philadelphia but his competitor has to pull out so instead of loosing all the money they have put into the advertising they decide to give an ...

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. ...

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 ...

236 kills, and I am still not interested!
Advantages: action packed
Disadvantages: no plot
...a long time ago. This Rambo is new. Although its characters, and characteristics are the same in many ways, it has a new polish that makes it more of a player in the modern dvd population. So now, for the first time, we will take a look together at a Rambo in detail. This particular Rambo is called John....." Ok, enough messing about! Giksy 21 will take over the review now. Attenborough is great on wildlife, but knows squat about films! We have all ...
...that, and we have a Rambo movie! But that was back then. The eighties was an ocean of cinematography, with many oysters. Only a few of those oysters contained a pearl, however. But, in its own way Rambo fitted in. It may not have been a pearl, but it was at least a fancy bit of coral, or something. The question had to be asked, would they change anything to make the film fit in with todays more culture viewing experience? And the answer was a very ...
