Reviews for Rambo - First Blood Pt. 2
Top CriticRambo's significant beefcake factor is so pronounced in First Blood: Part II that it practically begs to be taken as queer-baiting camp.

It's awesome
02/02/08
...precisely the sort of unapologetically brutal piece of work that's sorely missing from contemporary multiplexes.
01/24/08
All in all, it's a pretty offensive movie, especially to the Americans who fought in Vietnam.
01/14/08
Top CriticA thoroughly unpleasant project, quite apart from its creepy populist posturing (Stallone seemed determined to become the Huey Long of the movies).
01/14/08
Top CriticQualifies as a guilty pleasure, a good-bad 'B' movie.
12/30/06
A "perfect" flick for the Reagan era: a simplistic, distorted comicstrip actioner that nonetheless must have tapped into the collective nightmare that some American soldiers were still held prisoners or were missing in action in Vietnam.
11/03/06
The body count is rising, Sly's pecs are blowing up, and Rambo himself is becoming more of a brand-name than a character, a mascot for masochism and murderous self-assertion.
06/24/06
Top CriticFar from credible, but a terrific, cheer-out-loud action film nevertheless. Immediately and deservedly made Stallone's John Rambo a great individualistic screen hero to rival Eastwood's Dirty Harry.

Shouldn't this be called Second Blood?

To anyone who doesn't share the camera's adoration, this sort of behavior becomes so comic that Rambo turns into something of a camp classic.
