Some introduction. A little chatter and then before you know it, there are explosions, bullets on the screen ... everything is possible. In short, it doesn't take long and the film is the action itself, but better this time. Much better! Maybe unrealistic from Rambo's point of view, how strong he is and what he can survive, but perhaps no one minds. If you liked the first film, I wouldn't hesitate and started the second one. For lovers of the event a delight for the eyes. Those looking for a deeper story will probably be disappointed. It's mainly about the event, which was already the first film, but the second underlined it many times over. For me, a good film that I recommend.… Expand

One of the best in its genre. Outstanding ost by Jerry Goldsmith and very good acting by Stallone.

This is an action film with a heart and a fine turn by Sylvester Stallone. The screenplay was smart enough to recognize that Rambo's appeal was not limited to his huge biceps and ability to mow down legions of bad guys with a really big gun. In First Blood, Rambo is a victim. In the three sequels, he is "redeemed" and transformed into a hero. First Blood has a moral compass; the subsequent entries in the series do not. The action is low key and before the final shootout in the warehouse there are really only two scenes- but they're well executed. The best part of the movie is the sequence in the woods where Rambo hunts down the bad guys. It is perhaps too easy to dismiss First Blood on the basis of what the Rambo series would become, but this movie is significantly different, and better, than its sequels. This is a great film for action lovers as well as lovers of movies that have depth. (First Blood is a fantastic all-round movie).… Expand

Clearly not so good like the first Rambo, because this one is too easy to understand. Only the ending is very interesting and the story about being betrayed by the politicians. Unfortunately the movie focus more to the action and doesntClearly not so good like the first Rambo, because this one is too easy to understand. Only the ending is very interesting and the story about being betrayed by the politicians. Unfortunately the movie focus more to the action and doesnt follow this interesting plot. But the action is very good, but sometimes it is too much, unrealistic and feels like US propaganda. Stallone is stiff sometimes, but the Rambo here doesnt have many opportunity to show a deep character.… Expand
