Empire - Adam Smith
There's the fact that First Blood is a first-rate, taught action thriller.

IGN - Unnamed
First Blood is not the Rambo movie we initially think of when the character is mentioned. No, it’s much better than that.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Until the last twenty or thirty minutes, however, First Blood is a very good movie, well-paced, and well-acted not only by Stallone (who invests an unlikely character with great authority) but also by Crenna and Brian Dennehy, as the police chief.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Boasting some of the best use of rugged landscape since the westerns of Anthony Mann, First Blood is an effective, if outlandish, picture that exists merely for its big-screen thrills.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The darker tone, somber subtext, and generally non-exploitative violence allow viewers to enjoy the film not only as an action/thriller but as something with a degree of intelligence and substance.
