The first two were really good; they started to go down hill after that.

Another super warrior movie. River Tam would have kicked his butt.

I loved the first movie. It still holds up. The last one wasn't half-bad. All the sequels in between were a waste of time and money.

I am surprised that someone has not seen it..only bec it is a classic...for
Stallone anyway. But, hey, I'm older....
And Brian Dennehy is at his best.

As I am a member of the Vietnam War generation and a Marine during that time the film has always resonated with me on a personal level. It reflects a kind of rage that a lot of us felt coming back from South East Asia to the US.

It shows the hatred people had for military people and I thought back then no one had any hatred.... (They sure hated John.... FOR NO BLASTED REASON!!)

One thing unnoticed in the movie is Dennehys character is a Korean War vet so there is a little bit of "my war was better than your war". You can kind of hear it in his voice when he says "you think Rambo was the only kid who had a tough time in Vietnam?" The way he says Vietnam...

It also promoted the "crazy 'Nam vet" theme.

Very good movie and worth seeing if you haven't already done so.

It's really underrated as heck for entertainment value.

I'd say, the time is ripe for a whole new generation to discover the guilty pleasure that is "Rambo"...

It's also funny to view old clips, and see Stallone's dry, 100% guilt-free stance on wholesale violence. Long live Rambo!
