Pros: Excellent

Cons: Excellent

Wow what a excellent movie , this movie i watched on t.v thousand times but i still found it to be more exciting watching again and again.I am a big stallone fan not for this role but also from rocky series.presently iam writing a book on his movies and his all over enhancement in movies he achieved.I have collection of his photos from his film first blood.He is the only personality who best suits the role of war hero john j rambo who is a powerful war hero who comes to meet his war friend but finds him died because of some illness.I like the movie from starting to ending and other two parts were also excellent that were first blood part 2 and rambo 3.

VINTAGE SLY

Pros: Everything in this movie is in the right place and beyond ..Just a perfect action movie

Cons: None .. Nothing looks fake .. This movie is indeed a lesson for filmakers .. WIsh there were a lot more movies like F B

Hands down this is my favorite Sly flick ever!! One day my Dad took my brothers and I to see this back in 1982 and I knew Stallone from Rocky of course .. but this movie just blew me away !! I agree with the earlier review about studying this movie if your a young filmaker.. Cause it is done as good as it can get for action and suspense .



What blew me away was a myriad of elements ... First of all Stallone bringing to life another strong character in his own right ... that is light years from Rocky .. night and day ... You can't find a hint of Rocky if u studied every millisecond of F B . So acting wise .. I mean . .this shows Stallone at his finest I strongly believe ..




I can't get over those friggin cops.. Vagarency?? Where .. ? when ? A cop just can't tell u to get out of the town for no reason.. thats not possilbe. . but this cop does it ... I mean he only wanted something to eat.. He could have at LEAST ... gone into a restaurant or store .. and get him a sandwich before sending him off to Portland .. But then again .. if he did .. there wouldn't be this awesome movie that unraveled ! :-))




Art Gault .. Deserved that free fall onto the rocks .. that was classic and perfectly justified.. Man I hated that character .. Gault was hundred percent redneck !! And hundred percent dead through no fault but his own. Nevertheless I applaud that actor for making me hate that character so much! Well done ! Brian D same thing! I heard somewhere that Brian D was actually a Vietnam Vet. If that is accurate - THAT is VERY INTERSTING! A guy from V N playin a cop that dispises a guy from V N .. Go Figure ..




My favorite character of all of them was KERNAL TROUTMAN! That speech he gives to Teasel ...! " ... TO EAT THINGS THAT'LL MAKE A BILLY GOAT PUKE!!! " great line .. as is " IF YOU SEND THAT MANY DON'T FORGET ONE THING .... WHAT? .... A GOOD SUPPLY OF BODY BAGS!! " ANNND " I DIDN'T COME HERE TO RESCUE RAMBO FROM YOU .... I CAME HERE TO RESCUE YOU FROM HIM..




Then you have all the action .. which never looks fake for a second. I really wanna know how they did A) Rambos fall from that cliff .. and B ) Art Gaults fall to his death .. Cause it looks so damn REAL!! I mean it looks pretty much "ON LOCATION" ..



Oh yeah .. and this movie without a doubt .. STARTED the whole ... Vietnam themed movies of the 80's that followed ..and there was a lot of them .. some great .. some sucky .. even PREDATOR .. which is more of an ALIEN movie .is essentally Arnold S' stab at doing a RAMBO type movie and Alien movie at the same time :-) Thats another flick i love btw !



If you never saw First Blood . You are missing out .. If you have .. and loved it .. You'll never get sick of it .. Hell I watch it for days when I get around to watching it! Can't put in another tape for awhile once I start watchin !!

Enjoy

THE BEST ACTION MOVIE

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 3, 2002

THIS MOVIE IS AWSOME, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. JOHN RAMBO IS THE BEST. HE IS THE ONE WHO STARTED ACTION MOVIES, THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM.

Morell's John Rambo

This film is one of the better movies you can get for studying filmmaking. Unlike modern action movies where the Mythological elements stick out like a sore thumb, this movie has done well to hide them under the surface. Stallone give an outstanding performance, and Thematically it is just wonderful.

many levels possible for this classic

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 2, 2001

action film-among the best. Very well done character study of man with talent only for combat, who is literally lost in peacetime. Equally good character study of stubborn, dangerously foolish sherriff (Dennehy) who simply cannot understand the meaning of escalation, or military tactics in civilian law/order situation

Before Dumbo there was Rambo.

An absolute American classic. All they had to do was leave him alone, but dammit they just wouldn't would they?. Gritty and in a strange way, heartfelt. Where would the world be without him? Buy it, its a classic. Watch Stallone mumble his way to glory. Just dont get in his way okay?

An Intense Psychological Drama

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 2, 2000

Many people incorrect assess this movie to be just blood-and-guts, kill-them-all type of movie. However, if you finish the entire movie (like sschang009 suggests) you will come to realize that First Blood deals with more than the physical realm, it actually deals with the emotional, psychological and spiritual realms.
First Blood is my all-time favorite movie.

More than just a GREAT action movie!

"First Blood" pits a decorated Vietnam war vet against a small hick town sherrif who was just doing his job. This movie not only exposed the struggles of vietnam war veterans in normal society, but also sheds light on the altered psyche of wartime vets.
Right and Wrong is no longer Black and White.
If you missed the final minutes of the movie, you NEED to watch it again!!

Fantastic Film

First Blood is one the greatest film ever made. It is easily Sly Stallone's best it is only bettered by the book.
