Reviews

• This is a comic book movie, its outcome as predictable as it is satisfying, which is part of its charm.

• Rambo's self-important, weight-of-the-world manner and his taste for political posturing would make him genuinely silly were they not counterbalanced by Mr. Stallone's startling, energetic physical presence and the film's stabs at self-mocking humor.

• Despite its faults Rambo III has an undeniable momentum and, judged on its own terms, a certain comic-book appeal.

• Director Peter MacDonald keeps the action exploding across the screen, building to a climactic game of "chicken" between Rambo in a Russian tank and the Soviet commander in a helicopter. Gung-ho Rambo fans won't be disappointed.

• Strays slightly from the formula and therefore loses some of its mindless fun credentials.
