| iAfrica.com Ebrahim Moolla  The disappointment hits early on with the realisation that Rambo's final hurrah is not a patch on the taut intensity and cordite-chewing mayhem of its predecessors. | 13 |  |
| The Citizen Leon Van Nierop This is not so much a case of flogging an old warhorse to death as beating tired steroid-infected biceps to a pulp | 8 | |
| 24.com Ivan Sadler It has no story to speak of, barely any dialogue and is extremely violent. There is no humour, no drama, and not much in the way of acting either. Also, you have a grunting 60-plus Neanderthal as the protagonist. | 1 | |
| BBC Jamie Russell t's less a war movie than a turkey shoot in a ketchup factory. It's also reactionary, tasteless and laced with nastiness: a jungle holocaust of civilian casualties and scenes of gang rape harking back to '80s style exploitation. | 5 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman Rambo is simply reprehensible. | 1 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli If there's a reason for mild dissatisfaction, it's that there aren't enough Rambo moments. Why are we in the theater in the first place? To see Stallone cut, shoot, and blow his way through enemies from start to finish. Unfortunately, there are a few too many scenes that feature Stallone running through the forest or staring daggers at people he doesn't like. | 13 | |
