Rambo: First Blood Part II

Pretty sure everyone knows I like Rambo. But to my dismay I have never seen any of the sequels. So today I decided to watch Rambo: First Blood Part II. This movie takes place after the events of the first movie when Rambo is in prison. His old commander, Colonel Trautman, orders him out of prison in order to rescue old POW's in Vietnam. It shows Rambo's journey back through Vietnam, his memories and nightmares of the past, and his struggle to get out alive.

This movie focuses on the Good vs. Evil theme. Rambo is trying to free POW's from captivity, showing a good quality in him. It also shows a Man vs. Himself theme, as Rambo tries to stay alive amidst his painful experiences and memories of Vietnam.

I would give this movie a 3.5/5. It is a great movie, but I don't think it is a good as the original. I liked the change of scenery and I like how they put Rambo out of prison and into Vietnam. Definitely another classic 80's movie and another great addition to the series.
