MOVIESinMO REVIEW
I love the Rambo movies, but Last Blood has destroyed a great action series. This is NOT a Rambo movie. Last Blood is an excuse to make money off of a popular franchise and bring unneeded closure no one asked for. Stallone has other franchises that would have been a better fit like, The Expendables or Escape Plan, so why did he feel compelled to screw-up Rambo. One of the first problems with this new movie is the way he looks. In every Rambo film, Stallone has long hair. The second mistake is his dialog. When did Rambo become so damn talkative? Most of this movie contains Hispanic speaking people. When they are talking, the English translation comes across the screen (subtitles). The problem here is the conversations with an English speaking person. For example, Rambo’s housekeeper is Hispanic. Most of the time she speaks Spanish, but when Rambo answers her, he speaks English. They obviously understand each other, so why are they holding multi-lingual conversations. In a classic Rambo film, there’s a lot of action throughout the movie before the final fight. John Rambo has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), so he keeps to himself, he doesn’t talk much, and trouble inevitably finds him. Things happen, people get killed, stuff blows up, he saves the day, the end. THAT IS A RAMBO MOVIE. Last Blood is a ninety-minute film that never turns into an actual Rambo film. The last twenty-minutes does have loads of killing, but without the standard Rambo set-up, it’s a just poorly executed climax put there hoping you won’t realize anything about this film matters. In the end, Rambo: Last Blood is nothing but a 90-minute eulogy, and it doesn’t even get that right.
