This has always been my least favorite of the series, but I'm enjoying it tonight much more than I have in the past. It's just such a weird clash of tones but the action is top notch and Sly is in top form.
Moderate Yay for me.

Meh. It's more tightly knit than II, however it's also the stuffiest of the series - it's not really a fun movie when it should be. The final ground battle looks really dated with some lame weaponry.

Meh. It's watchable, but nothing special.
The original, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.

Yay.
Has some educational stuff
like the guy saying
"ancient enemy makes paryer about these people, save me from the teeth of the tiger, the venom of the cobra, and the vengeance of the Afghan" something Germany should have watched before they let in all those afghans.
It also had Osama bin Laden's people as the good guys.
and some good comedy like Trautman looking at Rambo's wound and saying: "how's the wound?"
Rambo: "You taught us to ignore pain remember?"
Trautman: "Is it working?"
Rambo: "Not really."

It is what it is: a mindless shoot 'em up and it delivers on that promise. I like that we finally get to see Rambo and Trautman fight together as a team and the whole desert setting adds some variety from the forest/jungles of the first two films.
So a "Yay" from me.

I love Rambo: First Blood Part II. It is perhaps my favorite straight forward action film of all time. Was really looking forward to Rambo III and when I first saw it on first release, I was bored stiff. Not sure what it was, perhaps it was the setting, the tone of the film, the way the action played out, perhaps I was getting a bit jaded between the few yrs between them. It certainly didn't have the same sense of fun that the second one had. It had a different director to the second as well and the original director, Russell—Highlander—Mulcahy was dismissed due to creative differences. Stallone wanted to take control and have a fronts man as a director only.
I haven't seen for about 5yrs, but upon repeat viewings, I have started to enjoy it a little more. Still not in the league of II though.

Definitely my least fave of the first 3. I only watched 4 once back when it came out so I can’t comment on that one too heavily, but I know I prefer 1 and 2 over 3.

Rambo: First Blood Part II features the character at its most iconic. Released the same year as the other commie destroying classic Rocky IV, it features our beefy American hero taking the fight to the enemy again. Because if America couldn't win the actual Vietnam war, it could always in the movies. "Sir, we do get to win this time?"
