What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sylvester Stallone knows how to stage action sequences, but the movie's uneven pacing and excessive violence (even for the franchise) is more nauseating than entertaining.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The orgy of violence, as ghastly as in any video game, should go a long way toward erasing whatever goodwill Stallone earned with his sentimental Rocky Balboa. Dec 16, 2008 Full Review Keith Uhlich UGO Now we are no longer observing the icon... we are the icon. Jun 14, 2008 Full Review Alonso Duralde MSNBC The film does for the Myanmar genocide what I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry did for same-sex marriage... Rated: 2/5 May 1, 2008 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com lets rip with endless action that looks like a slow-mo fire-fight in a fireworks factory made of raw excrement.' Rated: 3/5 Mar 10, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Most definitely for those who want to see heads roll and the body count reach unspeakable proportions in a most exhilarating fashion. Rated: 8/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Toni Vall Cinemanía (Spain) A macabre ceremony... in which Stallone recreates himself.

Cameron B For fans of John Rambo, there is something appealing about the movie and you may want to brush up on the character before he returns to the big screen but it isn't the best film of the franchise. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review BRITO E Um dos melhores filmes de todos os tempos; filme espetacular e o Stallone é o melhor!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language, Grisly Images, Sexual Assaults and Strong Graphic Bloody Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $42,700,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Pablo S Extremadamente realista, con personajes secundarios a quienes llegamos a odiar para luego verles luchar dignamente frente al ex boina verde que sigue batiendo récords de muertes en sus películas con una media de 100 muertes por película esta se lleva el premio con una media de 2,97 muertes por minuto ( la película dura 1H Y 33M ) pero con momentos emotivos como los flahsbacks de Rambo Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Daniel N Not as good as the original trilogy but ok if you're stuck for somthing to watch. This instalment felt low budget, with average writing and a mediocre cast. Felt more like Stallone was trying to raise awareness about Burma rather than just make an exciting movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Saoheng Y The greatest movie ever made Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
