Critics Consensus

Sylvester Stallone knows how to stage action sequences, but the movie's uneven pacing and excessive violence (even for the franchise) is more nauseating than entertaining.

lets rip with endless action that looks like a slow-mo fire-fight in a fireworks factory made of raw excrement.'

Most definitely for those who want to see heads roll and the body count reach unspeakable proportions in a most exhilarating fashion.

This did for Rambo what Rocky Balboa did for the Rocky franchise. A non-stop, action-packed, blood-soaked thrill ride. Simple, fun and satisfying. Best Rambo since First Blood. When you're pushed, killing is as easy as breathing.

Rambo makes a bold and bloody return. The violence is so graphic that it overshadows every other aspect of the movie. Yet, at the center of the film is a compelling story about overcoming one's own demons. Our old war dog, Rambo, has come a long way since the 1982 original.

This movie is supposed to be an all out action movie, and was more than an action movie, Very satisfying fights where very bad people die in different ways, one of the best action movies.

Rambo (2008) is what you want from an action picture, the film is absolutely breathtaking and the violence is certainly fantastic. Directed by Stallone I was wary but this is his vision this is HIS John Rambo film and its truly extraordinary. This film is filled with some great acting, some absolutely disgusting antagonists and overall some very nice action (kills, violence). The ending is just the cherry on top. The thing which advances this Rambo films from the others is a: the absolute carnage, b: Stallone's wonderful vision and c: The no forced and not needed scenes, in other Rambo films I catch myself thinking "is this needed" but not in Stallone's film as the runtime is short and snappy! The Mercenaries was also a well enjoyed addition and I could really see myself more gripped with the additional team. The whole movie felt like a Call Of Duty mission and that's another Plus I have.

I love this movie. It makes me angry at the same times. I love all the action. It makes me want to go over there and actually free those people. The real people that this movie represents the Burma freedom fighters. Sylvester Stallone does an awesome job as usual. He is just amazing and really gets you into his character. Definitely like watching this one over and over even though it gets me angry every single time cuz I feel for the people of Burma but definitely action-packed
