  • It pains me to make this video, it really does. But Rambo: Last Blood was a truly awful movie, and an embarassment to the franchise. Join me as I explore how it why it goes so wrong.

      It was a fantastic end to the series. It was brutal, gory, and felt absolutely right - the man who had 'gone native' for decades finally coming home. This film should've been "Sylvester Stallone in The Odyssey." The prodigal son returning to see his aging parent beset by *random bad guy*. It would've been a nice echo of the original Rambo movie with him as a drifter, causing enormous trouble to this *random bad guy* and his goons.

      Yes it could have ended there, but it made place for the sensitive family topic that is so present and personal in Last Blood.

    One of the funniest movie moments of my life was in Ireland in the early 2000's. On vacation with my family, up late one night my brother and I caught them running Rambo 3. The intro by the network announcer started the movie saying, (insert Brogue) " Up next, Rambo 3, the Americans arm the Taliban to fight off the Russians to stop the oppression of their homeland and religion. Oops, that works out well... enjoy the film."
    I laughed till I nearly puked up the Czech vodka we bought at the Aldi.

    I was absolutely in love with the movie until I see Rambo, yeah THE John Rambo, simply walking in on that neighborhood like a fucking moron. I literally started laughing like, seriously? No recon? Nothing? Not even taking a firearm with him, really? He even says it himself in the movie that he knows "how black a man's heart can be, he's seen it". Well?? I mean, any person with a little common sense wouldn't even dare thinking about going in a place like that but no... Not him. He's a decorated special forces war hero, that survived alone in a forest for days, while 30 cops were chasing and trying to kill him. Then after a while he took on a mission to infiltrate enemy camps undetected, to save some prisoners, which unfortunately turned out to be an all out warzone but he accomplished and survived the mission anyway. Then after that, he went to Afghanistan and let's just say that in the end this guy fought and blew a fucking gunship with a bow. Oh, and let's not forget about mowing down an entire army with a mounted .50 cal, rescuing some prisoners too, a decade or so later. Damn! This guy's got something right? Then he literally just hands himself in to the guys that took his "daugher". Wow, nice.

      Rambo got out of his car unarmed, without backup and without a plan in an gang invested area because the producers of this movie did not even watch or care about all the other rambo movies. they dont care who Rambo was. Just quickly wanted to cash in on the name!

    • @joebarbaro24

      This. When I watched it, I figured he must have had a plan, I mean this is fucking Rambo, the only guy except the Terminator who can (somewhat) believably take out entire armies of men all by himself. Seeing that many guys gathering around him, I was excited, cause I thought he's walking them into a trap, and every corner he turned, I expected that he's either gonna throw a grenade at them now, or pull out a shotgun or something, and shit was about to go nuclear. But no, he gets beaten within an inch of his life like a dumbass. And if the asshole criminals didn't have some ex-machina weird revenge angle where they decide he needs to "live with it" even though they just saw this guy for the first time in their lives, instead of killing him on the spot like asshole criminals generally tend to do, that would be the end of the great John Rambo.

      I always enjoy the first one. But I've never been able to get into any of the sequels. The original was deep because it showed that he was really a peaceful guy--until PUSHED too far. Once he was trapped, he behaved like a cornered animal, and they got theirs. But having him go out of his way to deliver OTT action violence all over the globe devoids the whole concept of him having retired and turned his back on that life, and it removes the part about him being trapped as a provocation to make him snap. It just keeps dredging the violence back up, for violence's sake. That's not my thing, and it wasn't supposed to be the character's thing originally, either.

    I agree with almost everything you say, except for the part where you refer to him suddenly becoming talkative, after years of relative silence.
    My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge (WW2). He refused to talk about much of anything regarding his military service, or much of anything else, during most of his life. During the last 15 years of his life, however, he began to open up. Perhaps it was because he knew his time on this earth was limited. Maybe it was because dementia was beginning to take hold. But we actually conducted several interviews with him towards the end of his life (and filmed them) for posterity.
    What he shared with us is more than what I was prepared for. He never played up his part in anything, but the horror of what he experienced was really more than I expected. He never said any of this, at any point, prior to his agreement to share this with us. His detailed descriptions of "the trees that didn't have branches anymore because they'd been burned away", and "the houses that still had a shape, but that you couldn't tell why they were built" still ring with me.
    A veteran that chooses to open up, eventually, isn't inconsistent. My grandfather didn't choose to open up to us and become an actual person we could talk to until 60 years after his wartime experience.
    If Rambo didn't open up until just now, that seems right about on schedule.

      @Kristy Kelly I'm getting the strong impression that you haven't actually seen First Blood. Your summation of the plot tells me you've only read/heard generalizations about it (bad ones at that) or you've only seen highlight clips. The "Why" for the things you bring up is in the film. On a side note, last I checked, Rambo was very much trying not to kill those guys in the woods. The physical first blood was even drawn by accident.

      @Kristy Kelly You did not over simplify, you mischaracterized and then reduced the entire film to that mischaracterization. Rambo: First Blood is certainly silly in some respects, but let's not pretend it was not dealing with real world issues. Saying that it was "over-rated" is fair enough, but that's not really where you left it, is it? In fact, one might argue that your complaint about Rambo's over-done action and what-not is the same thing you did with your overblown rant, making you as guilty as the film for exaggeration and hyperbole.
      So don't get defensive when people call you out on your own over-the-top and not entirely honest "opinion."

    Sadly if I remember correctly Stallone wanted to make this version of Rambo for some time. If memory serves correctly I first heard about Rambo faces the drug cartels before the turn of the century. I honestly believe the addition of the title Last Blood was just a marketing ploy. The saddest part is you're right. It wanted to have the same kind of impact as the original movie. But it went above and beyond failing.
    For an exercise watch the final scene with Troutman and Rambo in the first movie. Amazingly it showed something in too many cases Stallone never lived up to, a guy that could really act. The pain his character showed in that moment was beyond visceral. It showed a man who had lost everyone he ever loved. Only to come home and find out that the country he had done it for found him less than worthless. It literally took all of the action that had occurred and gave it a very clear context. This movie just expected you care. To quote our reviewer, "Why, Don't know!" It never once gave me a reason to feel invested in any of them. Even the "so called hero" was so vague that he could have been literally any family man.
    Love them or hate them the Rambo movies always sold mainly on one thing. The main character John J. Rambo. Oh the action was great. But, it was that deeply wounded soul that kept you riveted to the story. This man who was literally the walking wounded, who simply would not give up and die. I've got to agree with ya that character never showed up here. Ya know all those monologues he did, well ya mite even have used one of them to transition us to the current day. Something along the lines of a deeply wounded John looking to heal came home to these people that slowly helped him to some extent find his way home. You could have probably done the same with some additional scenes. The point is it would have made "the new Rambo" at least make some sense. It would also have done allot to create a investment in the supporting characters. Hell it would have even made the one characters death a very believable catalyst for the at least partial return the character we had seen so many times before. Instead we got something that could have been called "pseudo family man gets pissed the movie."
    At least Willis has Alimony to Demi as a excuse why he has to keep making the oh so forgettable movies he's making. Stallone just ends up feeling like a desperate older guy that just can't get the world has moved on without him. If this had even been made it the franchise's hey day it would have been a flop. Which says allot considering how hard it jumped the frigging shark in it's prime. It makes ya feel bad in some ways for him. Instead of gracefully walking away with a legacy as both an actor and a writer that would have well outlived him. He took a hard dump on it himself, just to get a few more minutes of screen time. Even sadder is by all accounts Stallone is supposed to actually be a very smart man. Just goes to prove in smart people can do really stupid things.

It was obvious that they wrote the finale scene for the showdown first, and then wrote the story backwards. Having a isolated farmhouse with a series off tunnels to explode and hide all of the bodies, but never explain how he got rid the cars. Would have liked to see him work with the other girls mom and offer up revenge in Mexico

      @TheBlackDrag0n his past trauma plays a huge part in this film. I liked this movie because its trying to portray that you just don't fuck with John J after all the shit he's been through and continues to go through. To see the guy snap after losing everybody close to him, his family, his military brothers and his humanity. I thought the plot sucked, using the Mexican cartel was just a fitting enemy because the guy has already fucked most of Russia and Afghanistan up 😉. It was shit music score also But as a stallone fan boy and man I'd say good effort trying to make and old skool badass fit into an ever changing world...... Cappeesh, 👌👌

      @@kazzzzzdaghli Agreed, people who say this movie isn't good or isn't a Rambo film must've seen tickerbell instead of this one. I don't know how anyone can call this a horrible film, but people will find anything to be picky about. Judgmental assholes

    "Gabriella gets bored and dies" had me smiling. And while I will say the movie definitely deserved to be more and have more. The part where she dies and he's trying to console her before she does had me sad. I feel like his acting chops had definitely increased over the years. And i see that in "creed" where his character also gets me emotional a few times. If I see Stallone feeling it. I feel it. I just liked the moment is all.
