The A.V. Club -
If you accept that Rambo is not the same kind of movie as First Blood and watch it on its own merits, it’s a badass action movie.

Chicago Tribune -
In short, Rambo is very good at what it does, but what it does isn't always that good. [22 May 1985, p.1C]

The A.V. Club -
It may be a dishonest, xenophobic, exploitative act of historical revisionism, but it's effective, and Jack Cardiff's cinematography lends Rambo's comic-book adventures an epic sweep.

Time Out -
The body count is rising, Sly's pecs are blowing up, and Rambo himself is becoming more of a brand-name than a character, a mascot for masochism and murderous self-assertion.

Variety -
The charade on the screen, which is not pulled off, is to accept that the underdog Rambo character, albeit with the help of an attractive machine-gun wielding Vietnamese girl (Julia Nickson), can waste hordes of Vietcong and Red Army contingents enroute to hauling POWs to a Thai air base in a smoking Russian chopper with only a facial scar (from a branding iron-knifepoint) marring his tough figure.
