      What to Know

      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.

      Audience Member A good tribute to the first and second films. Its not about dialect. Its about character, silent actions and necessity. Good watch for war gore. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Dinos K Yeah!!! Kill all foreigners, they not awesome like us Americans. They may also be communists! America f*ck yeah!!!!! Ugh, what a stupid movie.... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Jesus Good movie! Realistic in the killings, most bloody Rambo movie of all the Rambo movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review matthias s Rambo's latest adventure left me torn between nostalgia and disappointment. Brian Tyler's amazing soundtrack pays homage to the franchise's roots, but it couldn't save this film from its flaws. As a die-hard fan of the original trilogy, I found myself longing for the raw intensity that made those films classics. The new installment took itself too seriously, lacking the humor and lightness that could have balanced its over-the-top action. Annoying side characters cluttered the storyline, distracting from the iconic character we all came to see. The film's excessive approach felt forced, and it wasn't even enjoyable. A touch of comedy or a more nuanced plot could have elevated the experience. It's a shame to witness a series with such potential fall short, especially for someone who cherishes the brilliance of Rambo's origins. In the end, this installment failed to capture the essence that made the original my all-time favorite. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Xavier F Very good movie Silvestre Stallone hasn't lost his edge a lot of action and what really happens in these countries don't know why the ratings are low but in my opinion one of his best!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Mark B Gory, action packed, very real setting (Myanmar civil war rages to this day) & very real war scenes. It might not have an intricate plot but one isn't always needed. Good stuff! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
