The movie isn't as much fun as I was hoping for -- it's downbeat and hopeless in tone, like an action-movie King Lear without the poetry. Stallone's performance feels halfhearted; it doesn't have the exuberance of which he's capable.

Sylvester Stallone's 'other' iconic character makes a final bow in this frustrating finale.

Stallone once again plays Rambo as stoic and introverted but also still physically and mentally sharp.

"Rambo: Last Blood" has the earnestness of a eulogy, and it lands like the most inappropriately hilarious roast.

A film made for those who still write letters and know how to appreciate the classic calligraphy of John Ford and the enraged twisted lines of all the solitary renegades of old Hollywood. [Full Review in Spanish]

One of the worst scripts put to screen this year and the problems certainly don't stop there.

Rambo is an icon of popular culture - like Rocky - that Stallone, at 73, keeps active. This film directed by Adrian Grunberg evidences it. [Full Review in Spanish]

It felt like a rehash of the old, formerly beloved character trying to relive his glory days. Simply put, the franchise has overstayed its welcome.

Last Blood offers a fitting albeit lacklustre conclusion to John Rambo's story.

It's a tough one. It's a decent bit of mindless, blood-soaked fun with a strong performance from Stallone and some decent moments of emotion, which is what you'd expect from Rambo.

The last twenty minutes are gratuitous violence. [Full review in Spanish]

Rambo did such a fine job of rescuing the character from simplistic jingoism that it is almost painful to watch Stallone going back to the well one more time, especially when the narrative justification is simultaneously so weak and so exploitative.

What is left in this contemporary conflict is a parody of itself, which is what works best. A gory and iconoclastic violence that mocks its own people and others. [Full Review in Spanish]

...[a] numbing escapist action thriller. Indeed, this pump and pain-driven spectacle meant to draw some shock value blood is in serious need of a toxic transfusion.

It's almost as if Stallone himself has killed someone undeserving, just to afford him the opportunity to make the story work.

While Stallone is back and game to dish out the pain, it's safe to say that Rambo's famous Bowie knife has officially dulled.

Racist in addition to being offensive in its sadism.
