If you accept that Rambo is not the same kind of movie as First Blood and watch it on its own merits, it’s a badass action movie.
In short, Rambo is very good at what it does, but what it does isn't always that good. [22 May 1985, p.1C]

At best, Rambo: First Blood Part II is a crudely effective right-wing rabble-rouser, the artistic equivalent of carpet bombing -- you don't know whether to cheer or run for cover. At worst, it's a tribute to Sylvester Stallone, by Sylvester Stallone, starring Sylvester Stallone. [22 May 1985, p.F1]
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.
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.
The picture seems deliberately trite, blunt, and manipulative, as if the producers didn't trust their audience to respond to anything else.
All in all, it's a pretty offensive movie, especially to the Americans who fought in Vietnam.
!!!amazing movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish fuflillment fantasy for sure seeing how it played out. Far less grounded than the first movie. Enjoyable, but over the top dumb action flick for the most part.

While I laughed out loud a couple of times, this film is generally too silly and too ridiculous to enjoy.
