It was a fantastic end to the series. It was brutal, gory, and felt absolutely right - the man who had 'gone native' for decades finally coming home. This film should've been "Sylvester Stallone in The Odyssey." The prodigal son returning to see his aging parent beset by *random bad guy*. It would've been a nice echo of the original Rambo movie with him as a drifter, causing enormous trouble to this *random bad guy* and his goons.
@Athelstan Edwardson i would actually say Alien 3 is a better movie than Rambo 5, although maybe its more accurate to say Alien 3 is less shite than Rambo 5.
That ending is what makes this movie so good. Does a character like Rambo actually ever go home? Yes it could have ended there, but it made place for the sensitive family topic that is so present and personal in Last Blood.
The main thing I didn't like about it was that they killed off his daughter. Stupid to have a movie that shows he's finally gained some peace, only to steal it away and create a depressing ending for him.
Agreed, it blew me away he just callously tossed her away as a plot device in this alleged finale. I got to that point in the movie and realized that Oh, this is just Taken but with nothing left to fight for. And gore. At least it had some decent gorey deaths
The war was over when he came home from Vietnam. Like most veterans its hard to adjust as a civilian. In first blood move all he had to say to the law enforcement officials was, I'm a veteran, just visiting old friends, grab a bite to eat. Plus some sleep and I'll be on mine way. Thanks. Problems avoided.
“A guy played by Sylvester Stallone who calls himself Rambo” made me laugh for ten minutes. The line kept coming back to me, funnier and funnier every time.
Are you talking the same people who said before the first trailer from The Joker that their movie was a political commentary about modern society and the same actor who behind scenes did some leftie jokes like saying Donald Trump instead of Thomas Wayne, the same persons that are crying about the media backlash??
Phoenix is a hypocrite. And hollyweird is constantly teaching morality to the sheeple. Last blood goes slightly against the narrative then all of a sudden “oh my god movies shouldn’t teach lessons.” STFU libshits.
I was honestly thinking part of Rambo: Last Blood would have him struggling to activate his VA benefits after living off the grid in Burma for so long.
What a gaw'damn nightmare of a script THAT would be. Shit, Sly would likely get PTSD just researching & having Vets consulting & set advising him about how every day VA experiences drive us over the fVck'n edge...daily. Just thinking about this gave me spontaneous ED...
I think the movie would have been so much better if they just focus on the relationship between Rambo and his daughter (Wasn't that the early concept).. Rambo's daughter having a hard time adjust to the way Rambo lives, and so on.. So on.. One day she got kidnap, and Rambo went to save her in Mexico. While being abducted, she realize what kind a man her father Rambo used to be, that he's willing to do everything to save her.
@@Fabianwew I believe these movies should just be escapism n not a fundamental part of your existence. They're fun to watch and follow and in some cases, addictive but nonetheless, they should never become the reason for existence
Did anyone else notice the lack of previous Rambo movie footage? They replayed scenes from which happens minutes before in this movie to show his ptsd, it was stupid and I feel like the budget was tiny.
They make up stories tho !!!!! usually ones where we need bankers to build a one world communist government to save us from whiteness, heterosexuality and heat transmitting off of thin air ! (AKA Global warming) caused apparently by the gas we exhale (Plant food) and contrary to the Laws of physics, to save the planet from the dirty non chosen (Thats us!) so the unicorns can have a place they can call home filled with soy and rainbows !
It's watchable. As revenge movie. As horror-gore-splatter movie is even satisfing. As action movie is not consistent because it doesn't have a decent rythm until the last 20 minutes.
@@TheCriticalDrinker But, Drinker, you irrepressibly articulate inebriate, as long as it pisses off the left, it was worth making. But, yes, it could and should have been better executed (see what I did there?)
yeah I enjoyed that one. It was a good conclusion to Rambo. I don't see how it was so bad...sure there was a bit of slow pacing but the ending was fucking intense so it pays off in the end haha.
Not to forget David Cronenberg's "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum and Gina Davis, a haunting Body-Horror Masterpiece and a remake of a forgettable 1950's movie starring Vincent Price...
i think its the people who make those movies that have changed. this could have been a great story ending. what we got is a forgetable movie with the same story that exists in movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger , Clint Eastwood, Nicolas Cage or Liam Neeson.
@Joe Curr yes, but the whole point of the joke is that Drinker attributes the death not to obvious reasons presented in the movie, but do listening to the monologue, which is the least probable cause of death possible.
I'm an 80's kid that grew up watching rated R movies like rambo, terminator, and predator. We had bottle rocket wars, rode bikes until dark, and punched each other in the stomach for fun. AND I'M A GIRL.
Ah, riding bikes until dark. So glad I grew up in the country. Although I was in the 90s and didn't have a TV. But I still get such powerful nostalgia smelling the cold mud aroma of an early spring evening, remember running around out in the chilly air until it was too dark to see. We ran around in the woods and pretended to blast VC or aliens or British, whatever the boy down the road has been watching most recently. The old cars and trucks in the yard were our space ships or submarines or airplanes or whatever we wanted, or we climbed on the roof and jumped from one to the next. We each had a favorite tree and a brook we played in. It was glorious. So glad I got that opportunity.
I really enjoyed the gore aspect of the movie and the various killing at the end, however the first hour or so of the movie shouldnt of been what it was. Not a rambo story at all. The killing absolutely.
@albert fish it probably was exactly this. Until some studio exec read the spec script one day and realized they had to make a new Rambo movie or lose the rights to the IP. "EUREKA!" he proclaimed, "with this scrubby script, we can cash in on the 'Middle aged man with a particular set of skills' gets revenge on a violent gang for kidnapping one of his younger loved ones, 80s nostalgia bait reboots and the long await return of John Rambo that fans have been demanding for over 20 years!"
Yeah, at least it isn't infused with identity politics, so it goes up slightly in my estimation for that. Also it's nice that it pissed off the professional critics. Like I said in the video, it's not a bad movie because of toxic masculinity or xenophobia or any of that nonsense. It's bad because it's badly written, lazy and generic, and it doesn't live up to the Rambo legacy.
When he just walked into the Mexican gangs territory I had lost respect for this film. There is no way Rambo would just walk in. Really really stupid and I’m disappointed.
Same..And then they beat the shit out of him and...let him go. The real Rambo would have been patient..quiet and done something badass. Instead he walks right in armed with like a handgun and a knife. That's not the Rambo I know. The 4th was decent and gave him a good ending. This whole movie wasn't necessary.
Its so funny how he just walked in there with a knife and the bad guys beat him and just leave him there because the film had to get rambo out of there somehow 😂😂 what a insulting film to the franchise.
that was my take. the tunnels were part of his past that he couldn't let go of - not a plot device for the movie. Rambo had aged, but he was still the same inside - the rage was there. methinks drinker blacked out during the film and missed parts of it.
Those tunnels did not represent anything similar to what he would have encountered in the war. They looked more like cartel tunnels than rat tunnels, you could drive a Buick through them.
He built the tunnels as a coping mechanism with his PTSD. He's much more sociable and functional at the start to represent how much of a crutch Gabriella and her grandma are for him. They were his shot have having the closest thing to a normal life.
Yeah this, I guess since CD is scottish he might not know that this was an actual behavior vietnam vets would engage in. It's been portraited in several films and tv shows before this.
I agree with almost everything you say, except for the part where you refer to him suddenly becoming talkative, after years of relative silence. My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge (WW2). He refused to talk about much of anything regarding his military service, or much of anything else, during most of his life. During the last 15 years of his life, however, he began to open up. Perhaps it was because he knew his time on this earth was limited. Maybe it was because dementia was beginning to take hold. But we actually conducted several interviews with him towards the end of his life (and filmed them) for posterity. What he shared with us is more than what I was prepared for. He never played up his part in anything, but the horror of what he experienced was really more than I expected. He never said any of this, at any point, prior to his agreement to share this with us. His detailed descriptions of "the trees that didn't have branches anymore because they'd been burned away", and "the houses that still had a shape, but that you couldn't tell why they were built" still ring with me. A veteran that chooses to open up, eventually, isn't inconsistent. My grandfather didn't choose to open up to us and become an actual person we could talk to until 60 years after his wartime experience. If Rambo didn't open up until just now, that seems right about on schedule.
Thank you for sharing your super special anecdote. You could bet a lot of money that this was writers just being bad at their job than knowing your grandfather personally.
@@gregsander8439 That is a common thing that actually happens though. A lot of vets don't talk about what they went through until much later in life. I think the complaint from Drinker though is the change of personality. He wasn't a talker in the previous films, but now he won't shut up.
@@leadpaintchips9461 I agree. I think the original commenter gives the writers too much credit or he just saw an opportunity to talk about somezhing and went for it. 😮
Although the movie wasn't as good as it turn out, I really like the early concept of Rambo having a daughter, it open to many possibities such as how does a daughter go with somebody like Rambo in life? I like the idea of a continuation story, especially when u kidnap Rambo daughter, that should be personal as fuck, this is worse that the love of your country.
@@danskyl7279 it's like he had a bunch of decent ideas, decided half way through preproduction that he really doesn't want to do it, but fulfilled his contractual obligations anyway. Like the fight comes home-home, but it was all fluff to get to that point and then a very obviously conclusion. The entire movie is in the trailer at this point
One of the funniest movie moments of my life was in Ireland in the early 2000's. On vacation with my family, up late one night my brother and I caught them running Rambo 3. The intro by the network announcer started the movie saying, (insert Brogue) " Up next, Rambo 3, the Americans arm the Taliban to fight off the Russians to stop the oppression of their homeland and religion. Oops, that works out well... enjoy the film." I laughed till I nearly puked up the Czech vodka we bought at the Aldi.
wait there is a Aldi?? It's a popular market in the Netherlands lol. And Rambo 3 was different time.. Afghan jihad where the good guys back then. Tho few years later they had power, there was a civil war, taliban was created to stop the 'old jihad' then there was a conflict with merica vs taliban..
"Oh, that didn't age well." Remember that time James Bond helped Osama Bin Laden out of prison and started a revolution that led to the fall of the USSR?
"Kids were hardcore back in the 80s man" - Yes they were, i watched Robocop in 1987 at 7 years old and didnt go crying / nightmares when i saw the hand being blown apart scene, it was normal to watch 18 movies as a kid back then.
When i was a kid it was a badge of honour on the playground to say "Yeah i saw that 18 film". Me and friends actively tried to watch 18 movies to scare ourselves as its part of the horror film experience. We knew that it was fake and could separate real life from a film where its make believe.
Rambo: A story about a Vietnam veteran struggling to come back into civilian life. Ends with John having a complete breakdown about the friends that he lost. What everyone thinks Rambo is: GUNS! EXPLOSIONS! WARRRRR!
@Kristy Kelly I'm getting the strong impression that you haven't actually seen First Blood. Your summation of the plot tells me you've only read/heard generalizations about it (bad ones at that) or you've only seen highlight clips. The "Why" for the things you bring up is in the film. On a side note, last I checked, Rambo was very much trying not to kill those guys in the woods. The physical first blood was even drawn by accident.
@Kristy Kelly You did not over simplify, you mischaracterized and then reduced the entire film to that mischaracterization. Rambo: First Blood is certainly silly in some respects, but let's not pretend it was not dealing with real world issues. Saying that it was "over-rated" is fair enough, but that's not really where you left it, is it? In fact, one might argue that your complaint about Rambo's over-done action and what-not is the same thing you did with your overblown rant, making you as guilty as the film for exaggeration and hyperbole. So don't get defensive when people call you out on your own over-the-top and not entirely honest "opinion."
IMO: That seemed like a projection of the reviewer, for me that scene was sad and poignant and I had no biases going into the movie so that helped alot.
He wrote this script and thought "Okay, I'll write a new one set in Burma", which is exactly how Ramob 4 was made, because this script was literally a rejected one for Rambo 4.
@@jonathancampbell5231 Yep. I don't think Stallone's heart was in this project at all. He said for years that he didn't want to make another Rambo because he knew that he had nowhere worthwhile to take the character. I think he basically enjoys working and using the Rambo name was the only way he could get something funded.
Action heroes in the 80's: Arnie, Sly, Bruce Willis, Van Damme, Gibson, Chuck Fucking Norris Action heroes now: Uh... Brie Larson? Maybe Chris Pratt? This is why we have a plague guys
@@brunnokamei9623 chris pratt is definitely as much as an idiot as brie larson. don’t look at his Twitter, please. (actually don’t use Twitter as all).
I can think of a reason Rambo built the tunnels in only two words - "Doomsday Prepper". Those are the kind of people who would definitely do that and and a PTSD war vet is certainly plausible to be a doomsday prepper.
VietnamD0820. Rambo dies there In the rocking chair. The scenes from the previous movie at the end were his life flashing before his eyes. And the final scene of him riding oft Into the sunset was symbolic of him crossing over to the other side as he finally dies. A fitting send off really. In my opinion. I can't believe nobody else can figure It out.
VietnamD0820 YOU SIR, have predicted a horrible future. However, I'll bet you are CORRECT A MUNDO; as the Fonz used to say back in the mid seventies!!! LOL!
I feel like I'm pretty callous to half silly seriously depressing stuff like this. But I felt that. That hurt. Probably because I more or less relate to it. I laughed none the less.
Honestly, despite how awful some of the acting and the story were, the second half of the movie really made up with its brutal kills and it did get me tear up a bit. So yeah, I didn't expect the movie to have much substance to the story, but I still got a kick out of the movie.
@@raby760 Hey, he lured the traffickers onto his turf, knowing he'd have the home court advantage. You sort of need that when you're taking on a bunch of bloodthirsty, less than human pieces of crap, worthy of each and every expert firearm shot, each filleting by Rambo's knives, all the visceral gut reaming booby traps, skull obliterating shotgun blasts, yes human pincushioning by bow and arrow shots against the barn door and finally field dressing the kill for Jeffrey Dahmer steaks to send as condolence gifts to Hugo Martínez's mom for her naughty son's dirty pimping deeds!
I was absolutely in love with the movie until I see Rambo, yeah THE John Rambo, simply walking in on that neighborhood like a fucking moron. I literally started laughing like, seriously? No recon? Nothing? Not even taking a firearm with him, really? He even says it himself in the movie that he knows "how black a man's heart can be, he's seen it". Well?? I mean, any person with a little common sense wouldn't even dare thinking about going in a place like that but no... Not him. He's a decorated special forces war hero, that survived alone in a forest for days, while 30 cops were chasing and trying to kill him. Then after a while he took on a mission to infiltrate enemy camps undetected, to save some prisoners, which unfortunately turned out to be an all out warzone but he accomplished and survived the mission anyway. Then after that, he went to Afghanistan and let's just say that in the end this guy fought and blew a fucking gunship with a bow. Oh, and let's not forget about mowing down an entire army with a mounted .50 cal, rescuing some prisoners too, a decade or so later. Damn! This guy's got something right? Then he literally just hands himself in to the guys that took his "daugher". Wow, nice.
Rambo got out of his car unarmed, without backup and without a plan in an gang invested area because the producers of this movie did not even watch or care about all the other rambo movies. they dont care who Rambo was. Just quickly wanted to cash in on the name!
This. When I watched it, I figured he must have had a plan, I mean this is fucking Rambo, the only guy except the Terminator who can (somewhat) believably take out entire armies of men all by himself. Seeing that many guys gathering around him, I was excited, cause I thought he's walking them into a trap, and every corner he turned, I expected that he's either gonna throw a grenade at them now, or pull out a shotgun or something, and shit was about to go nuclear. But no, he gets beaten within an inch of his life like a dumbass. And if the asshole criminals didn't have some ex-machina weird revenge angle where they decide he needs to "live with it" even though they just saw this guy for the first time in their lives, instead of killing him on the spot like asshole criminals generally tend to do, that would be the end of the great John Rambo.
Rambo was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, by a 100 times. I've seen it half a dozen times and still find myself incredibly entertained. Last Blood I only finished because I knew the entire movie was setup for the good bits in the last 10 min :( Embarrassingly bad overall.
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 I completely agree. Rambo felt like a John Rambo movie. This could have been any Stallone movie. Now of course I enjoyed the final act. I love gore and violence. But the story telling was pretty lame.
It was a perfect ending in that one. I had hopes that Last Blood would be good also, but it's been a terrible disappointment. I guess you don't really have to do that good a job for something with no sequels, but you ought to have enough respect for the character to do it right.
Here's how I would have liked Last Blood to have gone, especially after the short but awesome flashback scene in the tunnels. Rambo, who's age has caught up to him, decides to finally talk about what he experienced in Vietnam. A different actor would play the younger version of Rambo during the war, while Stallone provides narration/tells his story. It couldn't have been any worse than what we got.
It sounds like he was writing another Expendables script but Statham and his buddies didn't show up for filming so at the last minute he changed the title to 'Rambo'.
It really makes me sad that people who were so young and vital when I was growing up suddenly seem old. It is an uncomfortable reminder of my own advancing age and I hate it. I want everyone to be young forever 😭
Mike Dalton Oh hell yeah. 426 Hemi ‘Cudas, Olds 442’s Hurst editions, Road Runners with 440 six-packs, Shelby Cobra Mustangs GT500’s.... hardcore?

@TheBlackDrag0n his past trauma plays a huge part in this film. I liked this movie because its trying to portray that you just don't fuck with John J after all the shit he's been through and continues to go through. To see the guy snap after losing everybody close to him, his family, his military brothers and his humanity. I thought the plot sucked, using the Mexican cartel was just a fitting enemy because the guy has already fucked most of Russia and Afghanistan up 😉. It was shit music score also But as a stallone fan boy and man I'd say good effort trying to make and old skool badass fit into an ever changing world...... Cappeesh, 👌👌

@Sad but True it's fantastic. Not your typical superhero movie at all. And it works perfectly well as a stand alone movie, assuming a basic knowledge of the X-Men universe.
@Sad but True As somebody who also grew up with Wolverine as his favorite character, I'd encourage you to do it. The only things it has in common with the previous movies are Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, both of whom deliver remarkable performances.
Aside from the name, this movie didn’t have anything to do with Rambo. Even the bad guys never heard of Rambo. In the Rambo universe everyone should know who Rambo is... or was
@@never2be07 the point is that it's a stupid fucking thing to say because his enemies have known him, as for some Mexicans in a cartel, why the hell would they know someone who's biggest claims to fame are, special operations that were definitely classified, then a single event in northern North America at a time where they wouldat minimum be children, where he then spends the rest of his life in a prison, and in the eastern parts of Asia and the Middle East until a decade at the most ago, where he has lived a life that consists of doing his job and volunteering to help people
@@calebbarnhouse496All I’m sayin is that it didn’t help the movie feel like a Rambo movie. Like the other dude commented remove the theme and name and it would’ve been any other sly movie. It was a pointless movie and did nothing for the story of Rambo
I think the only thing I didn't like was the entire set up of how Rambo's niece went to Mexico but I thought third act was very good. Makes me want to watch it again again.
I can understand your frustration with the script, but remember, soldiers with his level of shell shock either kill themselves or find a constructive way to cope. Fortunately he did the latter. His ability to not be so reserved with other people, I believe, stems from the fact that he's home. He's in a place that is his. But he still prepares for an unknown battle by digging tunnels and traps. That's something that he'll never be able to shed. It's also a way of coping with his issues. As for the other convenient plot devices, I suppose I could agree with you....
Seriously, and the whole "this is not the Rambo I know" doesn't hold water either. I would hope everybody isn't the same person in old age as they were when young. People change as the years go by. Even Rambo.
@@joedivision7148 True, but I do wonder why Rambo forgot to use his brain when approaching the cartel. Rusty? Maybe, but feels like a cop-out answer. I still found the movie very enjoyable, I did not mind that Rambo talked more, and the tunnels made a lot of sense to me. Preparing for some unknown threat is one of the most Rambo things that Rambo can do.
Also Rambo the Video Game: where tf do I go, all these screens look the same, and I keep having to stab snakes and giant wasps with my knife. Oh, wait, that's the NES one.
There's going to be a prequel to "Last Blood" that follows the events of Rambo 4. It's going to be called "Penultimate Blood", because Rambo 4.5 would have just sounded stupid.
Please, i beg you PLEASE don't tempt the universe, 2020 is bad enough as it is do you really want to visit such a horror on the world? Have we not suffered enough?
They’ve shown “First Blood” a bunch of times recently on Showtime. I’ve watched it about 5 times in the past two weeks. Such a great movie and is so unlike every other Rambo
I always enjoy the first one. But I've never been able to get into any of the sequels. The original was deep because it showed that he was really a peaceful guy--until PUSHED too far. Once he was trapped, he behaved like a cornered animal, and they got theirs. But having him go out of his way to deliver OTT action violence all over the globe devoids the whole concept of him having retired and turned his back on that life, and it removes the part about him being trapped as a provocation to make him snap. It just keeps dredging the violence back up, for violence's sake. That's not my thing, and it wasn't supposed to be the character's thing originally, either.
The book was very different. If I remember correctly, there was a huge body count in the book. In the movie one guy gets killed falling from a helicopter and that's it.
John Rambo was a good movie. It should have ended with that. I felt this movie lacked any real depth and storyline. Maybe it was just too rushed. Most good movies nowadays are at least 2 hours. With that extra time they could have worked with the story more.
Andrew Thompson lol I always told people and no one believed me when I said he was heavily using steroids in rocky 4 when he fought drago dude got buff and ripped as fuck lol like 8% body fat lmaooo
Regrettably, I agree. I lacked so much of the "heart and feel" of the franchise; like when the tables turn, and the music transitions from worried to triumphant with that recognizable Rambo theme. None of that.
Excellent conclusion ...the person commenting fortunately put himself in evidence, accidentally giving Rambo 5 the correct review, ...that being "a great movie", and a very fair ending of the story.
@@markhamilton3215 how? You wanted him to die in the end? Why?! Why not just have him ride off into the sunset? You post modernists and your nihilism. Disgusting.
@harrythebarry I heard as much from a trusted source. It's easy to ignore the media reviews as they don't understand action movies as a rule, but when someone who loves 80's movies, John Wick and the like tells you it's terrible... yeah, it's disappointing to hear.
No. That's the point. Violence and warfare will never end. And Rambo knows it. Rambo finally came back to the USA in 2008 just to find more grief and violence in 2019.
_First Blood_ is my favorite Rambo movie. It's not an over-the-top killfest and the somewhat depressing tone lets you know it doesn't revel in the violence it does have.
The last Rambo ended perfectly, with him walking the long road to his farm.
yeah there was no need for this film.
It was a fantastic end to the series. It was brutal, gory, and felt absolutely right - the man who had 'gone native' for decades finally coming home.

Rambo's daughter having a hard time adjust to the way Rambo lives, and so on.. So on.. One day she got kidnap, and Rambo went to save her in Mexico. While being abducted, she realize what kind a man her father Rambo used to be, that he's willing to do everything to save her.

yeah I enjoyed that one. It was a good conclusion to Rambo. I don't see how it was so bad...sure there was a bit of slow pacing but the ending was fucking intense so it pays off in the end haha.
Moral of this story. Every story has its time. No sequels or reboots will ever eclipse the success and momentum of the originals.
The Thing 1982 is a remake that eclipses the original. It's rare but they are out there. I mean Rambo II is arguably more iconic than First Blood.
T2 is more iconic then Terminator. Same with Aliens.
Not to forget David Cronenberg's "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum and Gina Davis, a haunting Body-Horror Masterpiece and a remake of a forgettable 1950's movie starring Vincent Price...
T2, The Godfather Part 2 & Shrek 2 r just as good as there original films/movies
i think its the people who make those movies that have changed. this could have been a great story ending. what we got is a forgetable movie with the same story that exists in movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger , Clint Eastwood, Nicolas Cage or Liam Neeson.

I'm an 80's kid that grew up watching rated R movies like rambo, terminator, and predator. We had bottle rocket wars, rode bikes until dark, and punched each other in the stomach for fun. AND I'M A GIRL.

How dare you assume your gender, you bigot! Your subconscious mind might self-identify as a male woodchuck for all you know!
Ah, riding bikes until dark. So glad I grew up in the country. Although I was in the 90s and didn't have a TV. But I still get such powerful nostalgia smelling the cold mud aroma of an early spring evening, remember running around out in the chilly air until it was too dark to see. We ran around in the woods and pretended to blast VC or aliens or British, whatever the boy down the road has been watching most recently. The old cars and trucks in the yard were our space ships or submarines or airplanes or whatever we wanted, or we climbed on the roof and jumped from one to the next. We each had a favorite tree and a brook we played in. It was glorious. So glad I got that opportunity.

@@aripmjr Clint would not have directed this screenplay.
It wasn't a bad movie. It just didn't feel like a Rambo movie.. The last half hour of the movie felt like A violent version of Home Alone
Pfft, implying Home Alone isn't violent either and isn't all in the kid's head because the criminals actually got killed.
I really enjoyed the gore aspect of the movie and the various killing at the end, however the first hour or so of the movie shouldnt of been what it was. Not a rambo story at all. The killing absolutely.
@albert fish it probably was exactly this. Until some studio exec read the spec script one day and realized they had to make a new Rambo movie or lose the rights to the IP.
"EUREKA!" he proclaimed, "with this scrubby script, we can cash in on the 'Middle aged man with a particular set of skills' gets revenge on a violent gang for kidnapping one of his younger loved ones, 80s nostalgia bait reboots and the long await return of John Rambo that fans have been demanding for over 20 years!"
My father told me that when he watched this film the people in his cinema always started clapping when someone was killed xd
*Home Stallone
The only redeeming thing about the film it sounds like is at least it was John not Jane Rambo
Could've been worse could've been John going through his transition into Jane Rambo 5 The Arizona Boy🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, at least it isn't infused with identity politics, so it goes up slightly in my estimation for that. Also it's nice that it pissed off the professional critics. Like I said in the video, it's not a bad movie because of toxic masculinity or xenophobia or any of that nonsense. It's bad because it's badly written, lazy and generic, and it doesn't live up to the Rambo legacy.

The real Rambo would have been patient..quiet and done something badass.
Instead he walks right in armed with like a handgun and a knife.

Its so funny how he just walked in there with a knife and the bad guys beat him and just leave him there because the film had to get rambo out of there somehow 😂😂 what a insulting film to the franchise.
"Gabriela gets bored and dies." Holy shit you are a genius!!!!
In building a bunch of tunnels, has he become the Viet Cong he mercilessly vaporised in his misspent youth?
that was my take. the tunnels were part of his past that he couldn't let go of - not a plot device for the movie. Rambo had aged, but he was still the same inside - the rage was there. methinks drinker blacked out during the film and missed parts of it.
Those tunnels did not represent anything similar to what he would have encountered in the war. They looked more like cartel tunnels than rat tunnels, you could drive a Buick through them.
This one reminded me of the pace of the last one, minus the mercenaries. Unless you're bringing guns, you're not going to help anyone.
Yes! That's the obvious point of the movie. I think it's worth watching.
He built the tunnels as a coping mechanism with his PTSD.
He's much more sociable and functional at the start to represent how much of a crutch Gabriella and her grandma are for him. They were his shot have having the closest thing to a normal life.
😲
Yes, I liked the movie. Not as good as the others, but it's not as bad as most everyone is saying.

Under appreciated comment.
I agree with almost everything you say, except for the part where you refer to him suddenly becoming talkative, after years of relative silence.
My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge (WW2). He refused to talk about much of anything regarding his military service, or much of anything else, during most of his life. During the last 15 years of his life, however, he began to open up. Perhaps it was because he knew his time on this earth was limited. Maybe it was because dementia was beginning to take hold. But we actually conducted several interviews with him towards the end of his life (and filmed them) for posterity.
What he shared with us is more than what I was prepared for. He never played up his part in anything, but the horror of what he experienced was really more than I expected. He never said any of this, at any point, prior to his agreement to share this with us. His detailed descriptions of "the trees that didn't have branches anymore because they'd been burned away", and "the houses that still had a shape, but that you couldn't tell why they were built" still ring with me.
A veteran that chooses to open up, eventually, isn't inconsistent. My grandfather didn't choose to open up to us and become an actual person we could talk to until 60 years after his wartime experience.
If Rambo didn't open up until just now, that seems right about on schedule.
Thank you for sharing your super special anecdote.
You could bet a lot of money that this was writers just being bad at their job than knowing your grandfather personally.
@@gregsander8439 You seem nice.
@@gregsander8439 That is a common thing that actually happens though. A lot of vets don't talk about what they went through until much later in life.

@@phimed Im not. 😂
@@leadpaintchips9461 I agree. I think the original commenter gives the writers too much credit or he just saw an opportunity to talk about somezhing and went for it. 😮

Because the fourth installment was fucking garbage and they incorrectly deduced they couldn't fuck it up any more? Thaaaaat's Hollywood! :)
I call it the Hollywood paradox. They make so many great movies only to butcher them years later and leave a disappointing legacy to the story.
Money, dear boy! Money!
Although the movie wasn't as good as it turn out, I really like the early concept of Rambo having a daughter, it open to many possibities such as how does a daughter go with somebody like Rambo in life?
I like the idea of a continuation story, especially when u kidnap Rambo daughter, that should be personal as fuck, this is worse that the love of your country.

One of the funniest movie moments of my life was in Ireland in the early 2000's. On vacation with my family, up late one night my brother and I caught them running Rambo 3. The intro by the network announcer started the movie saying, (insert Brogue) " Up next, Rambo 3, the Americans arm the Taliban to fight off the Russians to stop the oppression of their homeland and religion. Oops, that works out well... enjoy the film."
I laughed till I nearly puked up the Czech vodka we bought at the Aldi.
wait there is a Aldi?? It's a popular market in the Netherlands lol.
And Rambo 3 was different time.. Afghan jihad where the good guys back then. Tho few years later they had power, there was a civil war, taliban was created to stop the 'old jihad' then there was a conflict with merica vs taliban..

Rambo: A story about a Vietnam veteran struggling to come back into civilian life. Ends with John having a complete breakdown about the friends that he lost.
What everyone thinks Rambo is:
GUNS! EXPLOSIONS! WARRRRR!
To be fair the movie wasn't exactly book faithful on that plot, so I can see why.
@Kristy Kelly I'm getting the strong impression that you haven't actually seen First Blood. Your summation of the plot tells me you've only read/heard generalizations about it (bad ones at that) or you've only seen highlight clips. The "Why" for the things you bring up is in the film. On a side note, last I checked, Rambo was very much trying not to kill those guys in the woods. The physical first blood was even drawn by accident.
I'd be happy with First Blood and John Rambo. As the only two films tbh.
Only one death in First Blood and he falls from the helicopter.
@Kristy Kelly You did not over simplify, you mischaracterized and then reduced the entire film to that mischaracterization. Rambo: First Blood is certainly silly in some respects, but let's not pretend it was not dealing with real world issues. Saying that it was "over-rated" is fair enough, but that's not really where you left it, is it? In fact, one might argue that your complaint about Rambo's over-done action and what-not is the same thing you did with your overblown rant, making you as guilty as the film for exaggeration and hyperbole.
So don't get defensive when people call you out on your own over-the-top and not entirely honest "opinion."
Adding that old yeller death scene was top shelf golden humor I was rolling with hardy gut laughter I’m still giggling at it thanks
IMO: That seemed like a projection of the reviewer, for me that scene was sad and poignant and I had no biases going into the movie so that helped alot.
He read his script and was like “nah, et’ll be fine.”
Stallone wrote the script.
He wrote this script and thought "Okay, I'll write a new one set in Burma", which is exactly how Ramob 4 was made, because this script was literally a rejected one for Rambo 4.
@@jonathancampbell5231 Yep. I don't think Stallone's heart was in this project at all. He said for years that he didn't want to make another Rambo because he knew that he had nowhere worthwhile to take the character.

VietnamD0820. Rambo dies there In the rocking chair. The scenes from the previous movie at the end were his life flashing before his eyes.

@@raby760 Hey, he lured the traffickers onto his turf, knowing he'd have the home court advantage. You sort of need that when you're taking on a bunch of bloodthirsty, less than human pieces of crap, worthy of each and every expert firearm shot, each filleting by Rambo's knives, all the visceral gut reaming booby traps, skull obliterating shotgun blasts, yes human pincushioning by bow and arrow shots against the barn door and finally field dressing the kill for Jeffrey Dahmer steaks to send as condolence gifts to Hugo Martínez's mom for her naughty son's dirty pimping deeds!
That was the angriest "Go away now" of all the episodes I've watched thus far. You can really taste the pain and resentment.
I was absolutely in love with the movie until I see Rambo, yeah THE John Rambo, simply walking in on that neighborhood like a fucking moron. I literally started laughing like, seriously? No recon? Nothing? Not even taking a firearm with him, really? He even says it himself in the movie that he knows "how black a man's heart can be, he's seen it". Well?? I mean, any person with a little common sense wouldn't even dare thinking about going in a place like that but no... Not him. He's a decorated special forces war hero, that survived alone in a forest for days, while 30 cops were chasing and trying to kill him. Then after a while he took on a mission to infiltrate enemy camps undetected, to save some prisoners, which unfortunately turned out to be an all out warzone but he accomplished and survived the mission anyway. Then after that, he went to Afghanistan and let's just say that in the end this guy fought and blew a fucking gunship with a bow. Oh, and let's not forget about mowing down an entire army with a mounted .50 cal, rescuing some prisoners too, a decade or so later. Damn! This guy's got something right? Then he literally just hands himself in to the guys that took his "daugher". Wow, nice.
Rambo got out of his car unarmed, without backup and without a plan in an gang invested area because the producers of this movie did not even watch or care about all the other rambo movies. they dont care who Rambo was. Just quickly wanted to cash in on the name!
This. When I watched it, I figured he must have had a plan, I mean this is fucking Rambo, the only guy except the Terminator who can (somewhat) believably take out entire armies of men all by himself. Seeing that many guys gathering around him, I was excited, cause I thought he's walking them into a trap, and every corner he turned, I expected that he's either gonna throw a grenade at them now, or pull out a shotgun or something, and shit was about to go nuclear. But no, he gets beaten within an inch of his life like a dumbass. And if the asshole criminals didn't have some ex-machina weird revenge angle where they decide he needs to "live with it" even though they just saw this guy for the first time in their lives, instead of killing him on the spot like asshole criminals generally tend to do, that would be the end of the great John Rambo.
"But then a kindly plot device shows up..." Gotta hand it to you, Drinker, you suave, understated mogul of deconstruction, you.
I totally think the last movie outshined Last blood, but the 'Home Stallone' murder spree at the end was fantastic.
Rambo was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, by a 100 times. I've seen it half a dozen times and still find myself incredibly entertained. Last Blood I only finished because I knew the entire movie was setup for the good bits in the last 10 min :( Embarrassingly bad overall.
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 I completely agree. Rambo felt like a John Rambo movie. This could have been any Stallone movie. Now of course I enjoyed the final act. I love gore and violence. But the story telling was pretty lame.

and if Liam Nesson got his training in the jungle
@TheBlackDrag0n ........... yes . What's a Rambo film ? The first was nothing like the second or 3rd ........... What's a Rambo film ?
@TheBlackDrag0n his past trauma plays a huge part in this film. I liked this movie because its trying to portray that you just don't fuck with John J after all the shit he's been through and continues to go through. To see the guy snap after losing everybody close to him, his family, his military brothers and his humanity. I thought the plot sucked, using the Mexican cartel was just a fitting enemy because the guy has already fucked most of Russia and Afghanistan up 😉. It was shit music score also But as a stallone fan boy and man I'd say good effort trying to make and old skool badass fit into an ever changing world...... Cappeesh, 👌👌
@@kazzzzzdaghli Agreed, people who say this movie isn't good or isn't a Rambo film must've seen tickerbell instead of this one. I don't know how anyone can call this a horrible film, but people will find anything to be picky about. Judgmental assholes
Taken IS NOT RAMBO...
Damn, that go away now was so angry, I went away now immediately.
Hey I'm on the 2nd viewing too
"Gabriela gets bored and dies...."
Did.... did I hear that right?
Expectation: Logan
Reality: A straight-to-video Steven Seagal flick
@Sad but True It's great! Even better if you have watched other movies too.
@Sad but True it's fantastic. Not your typical superhero movie at all. And it works perfectly well as a stand alone movie, assuming a basic knowledge of the X-Men universe.
@Sad but True As somebody who also grew up with Wolverine as his favorite character, I'd encourage you to do it. The only things it has in common with the previous movies are Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, both of whom deliver remarkable performances.
I liked Logan, but Rambo Last Blood gets ahead as it doesn't end with passing the torch to the new woke generation.
Logan... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You kids and your comics!
Gabriela get's bored and dies XD
Spat out my coffee omg
Personally I would love to see a movie where Rambo kicks ass at a nursing home for old people.
Aside from the name, this movie didn’t have anything to do with Rambo. Even the bad guys never heard of Rambo. In the Rambo universe everyone should know who Rambo is... or was
If you remove the Rambo theme and title it could have been any Sly film
a Rambo movie where people don't know who they are dealing with? you mean like the first one, or the second one, or the third one, or even the 4th one
@@calebbarnhouse496 yeah everyone and their mother should know who they fuckin with by now
@@never2be07 the point is that it's a stupid fucking thing to say because his enemies have known him, as for some Mexicans in a cartel, why the hell would they know someone who's biggest claims to fame are, special operations that were definitely classified, then a single event in northern North America at a time where they wouldat minimum be children, where he then spends the rest of his life in a prison, and in the eastern parts of Asia and the Middle East until a decade at the most ago, where he has lived a life that consists of doing his job and volunteering to help people
@@calebbarnhouse496All I’m sayin is that it didn’t help the movie feel like a Rambo movie. Like the other dude commented remove the theme and name and it would’ve been any other sly movie. It was a pointless movie and did nothing for the story of Rambo
So basically he kills the bad guys doing a "Home Alone" homage
Which was fucking awesome.
"WAIT TILL MY PARENTS COME FROM THE DEAD BIT**"
no
@Sheeshkebabz How should it have ended?
What do you mean "ended"? It was the start of a new trilogy: Rambo: Ultimate blood!
Damn that’s gonna be one really dizzy horse.
The same video clips over and over made me as dizzy as the horse. First clip I’ve watched, usually only listen. Will continue to only listen.
😂
"Rambo imposter" cracks me down everytime he's says it lol 🤣
I think the only thing I didn't like was the entire set up of how Rambo's niece went to Mexico but I thought third act was very good. Makes me want to watch it again again.
Yeah, the 3rd act was awesome, it coulda used a knife or fist fight at the end, but it was great
@@jacobbenns6090especially that last kill was just so satisfying. I think that was the best kill yet.
I wanted to see him kill the thin brother, I felt cheated by that one.
I can understand your frustration with the script, but remember, soldiers with his level of shell shock either kill themselves or find a constructive way to cope. Fortunately he did the latter. His ability to not be so reserved with other people, I believe, stems from the fact that he's home. He's in a place that is his. But he still prepares for an unknown battle by digging tunnels and traps. That's something that he'll never be able to shed. It's also a way of coping with his issues. As for the other convenient plot devices, I suppose I could agree with you....
Someone gets it! :=
I swear, I could understand plenty of the other criticisms, but people are too preoccupied with the “nonsensical” nature of Rambo making a hole.
Seriously, and the whole "this is not the Rambo I know" doesn't hold water either. I would hope everybody isn't the same person in old age as they were when young. People change as the years go by. Even Rambo.
@@joedivision7148 True, but I do wonder why Rambo forgot to use his brain when approaching the cartel.
Rusty? Maybe, but feels like a cop-out answer.
I still found the movie very enjoyable, I did not mind that Rambo talked more, and the tunnels made a lot of sense to me. Preparing for some unknown threat is one of the most Rambo things that Rambo can do.
When he went Full Rambo it was good. He is like the Hulk. The angrier he gets the more powerful he gets.
@Marion Hinzman 6
Just edit the film so he is called Kevin Maccallister. All problems solved.

"HE'S A MAN NOT A GOD!" - Rambo The Video Game
Also Rambo the Video Game: where tf do I go, all these screens look the same, and I keep having to stab snakes and giant wasps with my knife.
Oh, wait, that's the NES one.
Come on, comrade!
This movie sounds like Home Alone in underground tunnels.
It is but the brutality is off the chart. I'm hoping for an extended unrated cut on blu ray.
Home Alone ripped off Straw Dogs.
@@The_PainofBeingAMan Never seen it. Might have to check it out at some point.
I'm still going to go see it because of that. Even if it is a bad film.
*It was either Chris Stuckmann or Jeremy Jahns who said this.*
Excuse me, but there's a First Blood: Part II, so it's pretty obvious this is just setting up for a Last Blood: Part II.
Rambo: Last Drop of Blood
@@Vaultboy101 Co-Starring Thanos
There's going to be a prequel to "Last Blood" that follows the events of Rambo 4. It's going to be called "Penultimate Blood", because Rambo 4.5 would have just sounded stupid.
@@panzram31614 Penultimate Blood !! ahaha
Please, i beg you PLEASE don't tempt the universe, 2020 is bad enough as it is do you really want to visit such a horror on the world? Have we not suffered enough?
They’ve shown “First Blood” a bunch of times recently on Showtime. I’ve watched it about 5 times in the past two weeks. Such a great movie and is so unlike every other Rambo
Dvd w/alt. Ending is more poignant/fuel for thought
I always enjoy the first one. But I've never been able to get into any of the sequels. The original was deep because it showed that he was really a peaceful guy--until PUSHED too far. Once he was trapped, he behaved like a cornered animal, and they got theirs. But having him go out of his way to deliver OTT action violence all over the globe devoids the whole concept of him having retired and turned his back on that life, and it removes the part about him being trapped as a provocation to make him snap. It just keeps dredging the violence back up, for violence's sake. That's not my thing, and it wasn't supposed to be the character's thing originally, either.
The book was very different. If I remember correctly, there was a huge body count in the book. In the movie one guy gets killed falling from a helicopter and that's it.
When Rambo lost his mullet, he lost his power. The power to make good or at least competent movies
So you're saying Rambo is Sampson? Lol!
@@woyame1 wait a moment. I think southam is on to something.
@@michaelpetrovich5353 Totally agreed.
@@RedSiegfried the first movie i remember him not having a mullet was Stop or my mom with shoot.
It went down Hill very fast after that.
@@michaelpetrovich5353 demolition man
They should've just titled this film home Stallone... this movie wasn't that bad but definitely not a rambo film
"Home Stallone"!
That's pretty funny!
@Dstroke Kyle Dunnigan.
Home stallone is an actual video
I can't imagine you as a crazy roided up grandad
He going to have a hard time explaining what all these dead bodies are doing all over his farm.
"Anyway Gabriella get's bored and dies"
LMAO
“I honestly thought they were women” this made me splutter my beer 😂😂😂
They are women. They just have dicks..
Same. That's why I love this channel!
Me too, Mate. Me too. No, no that 'Me too!.'
Nah, they are just chicks with dicks.
I honestly thought Rambo: Last Blood was a fantastic movie and a worthy entry to the franchise.
me too, I dont know what these fckin dumbass are talking
@@prosport_losinj2196 me 3
I thought it was good as well.
@Sam The Sham No it doesn't.
John Rambo was a good movie. It should have ended with that. I felt this movie lacked any real depth and storyline. Maybe it was just too rushed. Most good movies nowadays are at least 2 hours. With that extra time they could have worked with the story more.
"So anyway Gabriella gets bored and dies"
Stallone: I dont use steroids.
Australian Border Security: Then why do you have all these steroids in your luggage?
Andrew Thompson lol I always told people and no one believed me when I said he was heavily using steroids in rocky 4 when he fought drago dude got buff and ripped as fuck lol like 8% body fat lmaooo
SHHHHHHHHHHH
you can see by how fat his face and neck was he was on heavy steroids.
He was collecting them to destroy them.
Regrettably, I agree. I lacked so much of the "heart and feel" of the franchise; like when the tables turn, and the music transitions from worried to triumphant with that recognizable Rambo theme. None of that.
When you accidentaly start the taliban.
Rambo 3 pays tribute to the taliban, which got awkward later on. It didn't start it.
Your Videos are pretty much more entertaining than most movies coming into cinemas
Well...at least it's better than Turdinator Dark Fart
@Daniel Rodriguez Nah
ok, now thats funny!!!
@Gojira563 I know right ? Just fucking ridiculous, He need to seriously get off the soy milk.
😂
In your efforts to detail why you thought this film was awful, you accidentally made it sound like the best thing ever.
Yeah, I mean does he really hate the movie?
Excellent conclusion ...the person commenting fortunately put himself in evidence, accidentally giving Rambo 5 the correct review, ...that being "a great movie", and a very fair ending of the story.
@@GODCONVOYPRIME he was deceived , just like me and many of us hardcore fans
@@markhamilton3215 how? You wanted him to die in the end? Why?! Why not just have him ride off into the sunset? You post modernists and your nihilism. Disgusting.
@harrythebarry I heard as much from a trusted source. It's easy to ignore the media reviews as they don't understand action movies as a rule, but when someone who loves 80's movies, John Wick and the like tells you it's terrible... yeah, it's disappointing to hear.
The franchise ended peacefully after Rambo 4 in my opinion.
The ending scene pretty much is a sendoff to the character finally embracing peace after a whole life of carnage.
No. That's the point. Violence and warfare will never end. And Rambo knows it. Rambo finally came back to the USA in 2008 just to find more grief and violence in 2019.
Rambo without Colonel Trautman is not a Rambo movie. It ended with Rambo 3.
_First Blood_ is my favorite Rambo movie. It's not an over-the-top killfest and the somewhat depressing tone lets you know it doesn't revel in the violence it does have.
When I first saw the trailer I thought, "Home Alone: Last Blood".
I mean there is the theory that that kid became jigsaw
So did 70 million other people, including myself. It's quite obvious.
