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.
