Rambo: Last Blood Reviews
January 28, 2021
These movies were never what you'd call clever, but was Rambo himself always this dumb?

It's definitely not intelligent, but the catastrophic machismo is mind-numbingly action-packed.

Nothing is over? Perhaps it should be, John J.

Even the racism is difficult to get too angry about because the film executes it with such a lack of awareness that it feels like a blundering pratfall.

After years of ridiculous sequels, Last Blood proves that Rambo has been reduced to Hollywood cannon fodder. More than disappointing, it is outright dreadful.

"Last Blood" doesn't breathe new life into the series. Instead, it cheapens a once beloved character by forcing its aging action star to deliver some of the most gruesome violence ever put on screen.

Rambo: Last Blood is a brutal way to say goodbye to an iconic action hero, covering topics and containing scenes that are almost difficult to stomach.

The film's greatest sin: taking its trusting audience for granted. For a populist filmmaker like Stallone, this is a grave mistake.

Stallone brings a suitably world-weary performance to his iconic title character.

It's grim. It looks cheap. It's pretty much racist. It ends with slo-mo highlights from old Rambos. It's no fun whatsoever. It's as enjoyable as a trip to the dentist in a horror movie.

John Rambo is as American as apple pie. Actually, maybe that's too sweet a comparison. John Rambo is as American as a border wall. Yeah, that feels right.

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]

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.

It's really a drive-in movie.
