Rambo: Last Blood could have gone back to the character's survival origins and wrapped up Sylvester Stallone's action franchise neatly.
Sylvester Stallone's farewell to John Rambo in Rambo: Last Blood could have bookended the franchise by mirroring First Blood's themes, but instead doubled down on the franchise's characterization mistakes. Stallone's Rambo is now known for being an ultra-violent, vengeful one-man army who slices through terrorists and criminals effortlessly.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Like his book counterpart, Sylvester Stallone's Rambo didn't set out to kill anybody after the war. It was only until he was denied a peaceful life that he resorted to violence, and even then, Rambo only killed one person in First Blood.
Rambo: Last Blood Should Have Been A Survival Movie Every Rambo sequel after First Blood helped establish John Rambo as a popular action movie protagonist, but they all abandoned what made the first movie an effective drama, as John Rambo was no longer a victim that took justice into his own hands. In First Blood, Rambo is prey as much as he's predator, and he struggles to survive in the forest while hunting down his pursuers like a wild animal.
Last Blood Cemented Rambo As A Bloodthirsty Killer Rambo: Last Blood not only proved that Rambo's penchant for violence and revenge stayed the same throughout the years but also featured even more graphic deaths such Victor's decapitation and Hugo's heart being ripped out of his chest. In his final film, Sylvester Stallone's Rambo is past the point of redemption, and he seems to enjoy what he does more than ever before.

Regulators announced plans for the change in January. The new approach does away with a requirement that men who have sex with men abstain from sex for three months prior to giving blood. Instead, all potential donors will be screened with a new questionnaire that evaluates their individual risks for HIV based on sexual behavior, recent partners and other factors.
