This movie definitely ruined the character of Rambo

They completely crapped on the first film, and turned Rambo into an ultra-patriotic killing machine who had no remorse or personality.

Then, of course they had to have the 'Nazi-Soviet' cliche bad guys at every corner. They put a cherry on the top of the obnoxious sundae by introducing a completely irrelevant female character that added nothing to the story.

The entire premise of this film, the story itself, and everything else about it was terrible, even for an 80's flick. I can take Red Dawn in small doses, but this was an absolute disaster.

In conclusion, there's absolutely nothing good about this movie. The acting is bad, the story is bad, the visuals are bad, and it has nothing to do with the original Rambo anyway. This should have never been made.

I saw this one first, due to my age at the time, and it being on HBO, so it set the standard for lots of people my age. After seeing the original film years later, I can appreciate that it is far superior to this one. However, I can still watch this one, and happily do. What's "bad" about it is what made it so endearing to the audience of the day, and those who watched it back then.
