About

You’ll likely enjoy Rambo: First Blood Part II if you want big, escalating jungle action and a tense rescue mission vibe; Not for you if you prefer the more grounded emotion of First Blood or if you dislike cartoonish, over-the-top brutality like in Commando.

Pros: nonstop jungle action; strong cast; memorable score | Cons: comic-book vibe; little jeopardy; jaded plot
