I haven't seen an action/war movie that good in a while and apart from the aforementioned cliche war movie speeches and a few questionable direction choices by Sly there wasn't much to dislike about Rambo... unless you were expecting Stallone to act. The headshots, the bodies splitting apart, the well executed "camp infiltration" all left me pretty satisfied. Better than 2 & 3 but it doesn't quite make it up to First Blood.
Nailed my view exactly, Des. I thought it was a great throwback to the mindless action flicks of the 80s. Dont go expecting a buildup of a plot or characters...Stallone just shows why Rambo is the king of action.

I give it a solid 08/10, for violent entertainment from start to finish.
