This is such a departure from the original. Disappointing.If you're fan of pure action packed, testosterone filled, one man army films, you'll like it.

So I saw Weird Al's parody of this movie in UHF long before I saw the movie itself and thought it was surely exaggerated for a laugh. But now I see Al played it pretty straight, so much so that he had to throw in the Eiffel Tower exploding in order to top the ridiculousness of this film.Joris B.
Not a great film, but still quite entertainingDisneyStitch
Superior to the original only in violence and action. Gone is the poignant message and dark undercurrent of emotion that made the first one so memorable. I don't think I was prepared for how cheesy it would be, Rambo's actions and expertise are practically something you'd see in a comic book. It's very nearly a propaganda film and the disturbing part is that it seems to wear the descriptor as a badge of honor.Siskoid
It would be overstating it to say Rambo: First Blood Part II is as if Drive's sequel was a Fast and Furious movie, because the first half is legit. Rambo is still the iconic Vietnam vet wounded by his country's treatment and a CIA-impaired mission to find POWs in the Vietnam jungle has us in the same territory as the original First Blood. The second half, however, with one-man-army Stallone posing like an action figure through beautiful Mexican nature preserves blowing everything up, that's another matter. In another context, I might like this, but the movie takes itself so seriously at first that I just can't get into it. And what a slap in the face to Asian actors! For a story that takes place in Asia, it's insulting that none of the Asian villains really have any dialog, bringing in white Russians to do all the talking, and even THEY'RE kind of samey-samey. The only Asian character who isn't cannon fodder is Julia Nickson, Rambo's Vietnamese sidekick, and she falls prey to trite, sexist formula before the third act. Sorry Stallone fans, but guns'n'explosions tend to bore me, and then I start to pick at nits. On a historical note, this is the movie where Stallone makes a speech about being expendable, so it's the secret origin of THAT particular franchise's name. And for the main antagonist, did they ask themselves who kind of LOOKS like Brian Dennehy? Charles Napier? Ok, let's go!xzynomorpher
The main thing I took out of this movie: That Vietnamese lady speaks English so clearly and quickly yet cannot say her pronouns? Really?Bad, bad, boring film.
