This movie is far from perfect, I'll say that much. But it helped cement Rambo as an action icon. And while it's certainly "B-grade" by today's standards, the action is a lot of fun and there's characters you actually end up caring about. I like the fact that it doesn't rely on corny oneliners and dialogue like the third film did, and whereas First Blood did a good job of establishing John Rambo as a PTSD afflicted war vet, this film completely turns itself on its head by having Rambo killing countless scores of enemy soldiers in his path.
Overall, a fairly good film. If you liked First Blood a lot, you might either love or hate this film. If you're just a fan of '80s action films, you'll definitely like First Blood Part II.
