There's every reason to. He died in the book this was all based off of. Every movie after the first one has been a delayed execution.

Ah shoot. I never read the book but I hate when the hero get killed off or worse sacrifice themselves.
I understand it’s for dramatic effect but a movie or story can always be written around it. Especially this character. His whole thing is being unstoppable. Part 4 was supposedly the last movie at the time and they kept him alive.

I heard in this one, we find out that Rambo's REAL name is Huang Po and that he's been a dual citizen and firm supporter of the CCP his entire life. Also, he does a duet with Jackie Chan.
The movie will be subtitled in English for us.

The director "hopes" this will be the last one. That means Rambo doesn't die in it, despite Stallone strongly alluding he does. Probably this is misdirection.

As predicted, left wing critics are attacking "Last Blood" because Rambo goes after a Mexican cartel.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/sylves...ican-nightmare And it's stereotypical to have cartel members with tattoos? What? It would be weirder if they didn't have tattoos. Another one: https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...t-blood-review "Trumpian fantasy."

So, so retarded. Did the Mexican cartels carving up families and melting them in vats of acid (the videos are not hard to find, and there's always new ones) when they're not too busy human trafficking suddenly become less evil because we're in the middle of a border crisis?

First Blood Author David Morrell hates this movie
_DavidMorrell @_DavidMorrell I agree with these RAMBO: LAST BLOOD reviews. The film is a mess. Embarrassed to have my name associated with it. https://usatoday.com/story/entertai

Doesn't surprise me that yet another "old Rambo" film would disgust him, especially if he holds similar political opinions as many of the reviews cited.

David Morrell did say he liked the director's cut of part 4. He actually did work on the story of Rambo 5 with Stallone but the producers wanted to do a movie about human trafficking. Here's his full comment.

I've dug into this. Morrell's grandson has been posting on Stallone's Instagram a lot... apparently Morrell had a version of Rambo 5 he wanted to do on a story level and Stallone had his back on it but the studio didn't like it. So there is an element of butt hurt at play.

I hate bumping topics but I guess it’s not too old. It is for this specific movie after all. I finally saw this. It was good and I’m really glad Rambo did not die at the end even if they don’t make anymore.
I have not seen the original 3 for quite awhile so I don’t think I can fairly compare all of them at the moment. I saw part 4 again somewhat recently. I think I liked 5 more. One thing bothered me. The girl that helped Gabrielle find her father basically gives her to the cartel? I know she was drunk but she took her bracelet so she knew what was going on and who was behind it since she leads Rambo to him. What happened here? It’s just strange. I don’t think it’s “destruction porn” but I will nitpick that a few times he kept killing someone after they were clearly dead. He blows a guy’s head away and then shoots him in the leg just for the sake of it. I get he’s just being Rambo but it’s kinda funny. He wouldn’t feel it.

I guess he could have died but the horse was probably around. It was his home. Animals know where they live. I don’t think it would have ran away.
The thing about the other girl didn’t make sense to me because she cared enough to help her find her father and then just backstabs her for no apparent reason? Giving a scene like her trying on the bracelet for fun and they got separated in the crowd but was too drunk to notice it would have been better. She could still know who the guy was since he was well known but it’s portrayed as if she was sort of in on it. If she was blackmailed into doing it that would have been a perfect quick explanation. She was acting kind of regretful when she met Rambo but taking the bracelet makes it seem otherwise. It’s a strange way to have written it.

My only beef with this is that Rambo didn't just put a bullet in her head anyway. Especially when her intel didn't even end up saving the girl's life. Quote:
