Review of Rambo III

Rambo III (1988)
MAJOR improvement from II but still sucks!
24 January 2003
Directed by Batman's Camera Operator, Peter MacDonald, this is a major improvement from Rambo II. However, while this movie has it's moments it still suffers from a bad plot and weak character development. Action films don't necessarily need a good plot but character development is extremely important. Mostly because you want the audience to want to be Rambo. Which is one of the reasons the first Rambo movie worked so well. In the first movie you see Rambo as a troubled Vietnam vet who's taking the law into his own hands. In Rambo II and III he's just an exaggerated action character in silly action sequences. I honestly must admit that if done right, Rambo II and III would have been great movies.
