This 1982 classic takes greater pride in its words than its weapons.
The Big Picture When you think of action movies, you think of pure bombast. These are loud movies littered with gunfire, explosions, one-liners and a fiery tone, always in it for a fun time. It isn't very common that releases in this genre take their time to make you feel anything other than excitement, have a strong story, or anything greater than one-inch character depth.
Those that are unfamiliar with the Rambo franchise might think of every entry in the series as the same type of movie, and they wouldn't be totally wrong for doing so. The majority of this series is basic action movie filmmaking 101, centered on a jacked lead firing endless rounds of bullets at armies of nameless villains. The explosions keep on coming and the movies continue to get bloodier as they get made.
'First Blood' Is a Slower Burn Than Most Action Movies First Blood also takes time with its story, and this choice in pace enhances the story. The first thing we see in the film is Rambo walking around the bend of a mountain down a long dirt road. He comes upon a small community nestled up alongside a long, clear lake on his search for his old friend Delmar Barry, who served with Rambo in Vietnam.
