First Blood (1982)
arguably (prove me wrong!) one of stallones best movies.
the entire subsequent rambo franchise feels like a farce compared to the original.. they dont even feel part of the same universe.
gritty.. realistic without being over the top (remember that one?!). a good movie makes you feel, and this movie makes me so angry. the revenge is almost justified.
being the early 80s the political fallout of vietnam was still hot on everyones minds. ostracized vets a serious reality.
the small town redneck sheriff always makes for a great villain. that ignorant evil is a valid antagonist even today. brian dennehy was amazing. you just want to punch him in the face. if you look close you can spot a baby faced david caruso.
so what do you peeps think of this masterpiece?
Do you have franchise fatigue? Or is there still a franchise that you enjoy seeing?
Just thought about it with the latest announcement about a new Jurassic Park release.
The first one is a masterpiece, the sequels are debatable.
What do you think about this trend in the industry to juice the maximum out of every movie?
