Did you watch the movie or just the trailer action shots???
He did not kill anyone so where do you get the whole, "so I'm gonna kill everybody" statement from???
Try watching the movie, or at least this time pay attention and try to understand what it is about.
The book is actually very good as well. Now, in the book Rambo kills a few people. -

With all the movies that came out that year I can understand why it wasn't nominated. This movie is good but it's no Gandhi.

What kind of question is that? It got 8 oscars, it is in the top 250, etc..

I think Stallone is an underrated actor, even when he plays tough guy roles, he somehow is able to inject his characters with believable humanity and vulnerability. I cannot see other action stars like Schwarzenegger play many of Stallone's roles. When he tried something different, out of his comfort zone and gives a performance of a lifetime, he is still unrecognized or ignored. So why bother playing other than a typical action star? It's too bad because I think he had the potential to have been a really good dramatic actor if only he was given the chance.

Rocky V lolol? HORRIBLE movie, possibly the worst of his careerlooking back, it's amazing that it got green-lighted it was so bad. Was the 1st pebble in an avalanche of awful films that eventually buried Stallone's career.

As bad as Rocky V is, it's by far not his worst. Not when there's Rhinestone, easily his worst movie by far. Also i think Driven, D-Tox and Daylight are worse than Rocky V, imo. -

It's why i have no respect or interest in the oscars. A performance like Stallone gave is definitely worthy of at least a nomination. If De Niro, Dustin Hoffman or some other 'serious' actor had done it, it would have been guaranteed an oscar nom.
the academy awards are an absolute joke, and any serious film fan knows it.

I agree. Though I think them snubbing Sylvester Stallone for F.I.S.T is an even worse crime than him not getting nominated for First Blood.
If you hate the Amazing Spider-Man movies, you are on my ignore list. -

Agreed, he was excellent in F.I.S.T.

Can you name a movie with a similar theme and tone that got Oscar attention. This is in my top 10 of all time and watch it every time it is on TV so I am not dissing it.
Deer Hunter comes to mind.
Green Goblin is great! -

He threw everything into the role. You even forget during it that Stallone has played rocky, etc. you really do feel he's a real guy who's going through this whole ordeal. He played it perfectly. The last scene where he breaks down is stallones finest hour.
Just a shame he has'nt picked great acting roles since "Copland ", cause when he's pushed he's a brilliant actor. -

His performance was somewhat weird you said it yourself you found it funny at times and you're not the only person that finds that scene funny.
I don't think the last scene was Oscar material at all Stallone himself thought this movie was going to ruin his career.
In the end it's a very good movie but not worthy of an Academy Award nomination.
