Rambo Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Dylan Kaiser Rambo first appeared on the big screen in first blood which is one of my all time favorite movies. In this Rambo acts more like John Matrix from Commando. i just watched the first episode and honestly the 60's batman was more mature and dark than this piece of garbage. Rambo does have his signature m60e3 in episode 1 but he doesn't even use it. the animation is hideous even for the 80's teenage mutant ninja turtles was released the next year and this doesn't even compare. the show is based more around first blood part 2 even though they changed Yushin and Podovsky's names and every character (even Rambo) is an idiot. Trautman is more of a 1966 commissioner gordon character, he's only there to call Rambo for aid and the whole ptsd aspect of the hero is completely ignored. Rambo isn't a tragic hero who is suffering from the nightmares the Vietnam War left him but he instead cracks one liners like Arnold Schwarzenegger. if you like Rambo do yourself a favor and skip this dumb show. If the villains were smart rambo would have died in episode one. if you stil aren't convinced then there is one episode where Rambo, a vietnam veteran who is suffering from PTSD and is capable of taking on an entire army, dresses up like santa claus. I'm not even joking this show is the biggest insult to fans of John Rambo ever.
Franklin McAlister III The Rambo cartoon made by Ruby-Spears in 1986 is a good show. With the way the Coloniel comes and asks Rambo for help it is based more on the events of the third and final Rambo Movie because in that movie Rambo is asked to help with a problem that an enemy is causing. With the way this show has Rambo going around to different areas of the world it has the ability to show children what different landmarks in other countries look like. Plus it teaches that Good wins over Evil because the evil General Warhawk gets defeated every time he tries to take over something in another country! I am glad to find out from the website Tvshowsondvd.com that this June there will be 2 DVDs of this show coming out that have 11 episodes on each disk! I have to say that it is good that this show is going to be available for the next generation to see.
Jtalledo After several successful movies, it really wasn't a surprise that the seemingly invulnerable action soldier Rambo would have spun off a series. What was really surprising was that it was a CARTOON series. I mean, what good parent would have let junior watch any of the Rambo movies, notorious for their blood, gore and sky high body counts?Questionable marketing aside, the folks at Ruby Spears productions did a bang up job on the Rambo cartoon. Sure, the series is basically a GI Joe clone, but it's a good one. Rambo is made considerably more sociable in the cartoon, more boy scout than Green Beret. He's not above giving bicyle riding safety tips in between picking off baddies with his precision bow and arrow. They also give Rambo a little team, two pals called the Freedom Force, his version of the GI Joe team.Voice acting is pretty good. Rambo's voice is a wee bit generic, but James Avery ("The Fresh Prince of Bel Air") as Turbo is excellent. Plots are pretty thick-headed, with Rambo and crew being sent off by the colonel to rescue little villages in foreign countries and the world in general. Of course, Rambo performs some pretty darn superhuman feats like dangling from helicopters and the like. What was really cool was the intro, complete with inspirational, heroic theme music and the colonel saying, "Give me... Rambo!" Also cool were the safety tidbits at the end of each episodes.What was not cool were the production values. Animation is typical 80's cheese - lacking the fluidity and vivid color of cartoons from later years. The character designs are good though, and Rambo is a decent likeness of Stallone. Trautman is well drawn as well - complete with his trademark green lid.In all, Rambo was one of the more entertaining cartoons of the 1980's. Forget GI Joe, for thick-headed animated warfare and fun, Rambo is the man.
spacemonk2000 I love this cartoon a lot! I watch my favorite tv show every weekend in my area. Rambo is the bomb, because he kicks bad guys butt. It is a good tat it's on Bohbot Kids Network. I wish I can beat up the S.A.V.A.G.E.s just like Rambo. Well I guess should be going, bye y'all.
