Last blood, I would say is a fitting end to the Rambo franchise even though it was the shortest movie of the series. Read that the movie was heavily edited after test audience and it was still being edited even right before opening day. It was very obvious especially early part of the movie.
The first part of the movie was a tad bit boring. The things Rambo does after he came back to America (Rambo 4) were weird. Taming horses and digging tunnels? Really, John?
The action however comes towards the end and it was glorious violence and gore. There were some really solid kill scenes especially the very last bad guy. Brutal yet typical Rambo.
I didn't really give two shits about the rest of the cast and Gabrielle was annoying and deserved what she got. Fuck her. I'm here only for Stallone. Fuck everyone else.
It was pure nostalgia when you see Rambo go apeshit and starts prepping. The whole prepping scene was awesome and you get to see his iconic bow as well. That's the Rambo I knew when I watched first blood as a kid.
Because of the violence and kills, the end scene is worth the ticket money itself. Never mind how the bad guys got there or how ridiculous it got cos at this point, all I wanted to see was Rambo doing what he does best. Kicking ass and taking names. And that is exactly what he did only in a very violent way.
As much as I love watching Stallone as Rambo, Sly has gotten old and it's a good thing he ended the Rambo series with Last Blood. This movie is solely targeted for Rambo fans. Even the credits scene hits you with a wave of nostalgia. You'll remember all the classic scenes and it makes you want to go back home and revisit all the previous Rambo movies again.
If you have never watched Rambo before, don't bother.
Rambo: Last blood is worth watching on a weekend.
The last lines were poignant and perfect.
