Was Rambo 4 better than Rambo 5?


For those of you that have watched all Rambo Films was Rambo 4 better than Rambo 5?
Was is better to stop at Rambo 4 or was Rambo 5 a satisfying conclusion?

Rambo 4 was the perfect ending.

Yes

I liked them both quite a bit but prefer Rambo: Last Blood as the Mexican drug cartel plot felt sort of current. The only Rambo film I didn't love was Rambo III and even that was pretty good. I'll always prefer First Blood most and the novel is very good but quite a bit different than the screenplay.

I agree. III is like a weaker retread of II.

IV and V are about equal, I love them both, maybe Last Blood even more because it’s wonderfully violent and doesn’t use obvious CGI blood.

Rambo 4 felt more like a true Rambo movie. Rambo 5 kind of felt like the movie Taken with Liam Neeson

It should have ended with part 4. It was the perfect way to end the franchise. He finally went home.

'Rambo' is my favourite of the series (including 'First Blood')

Yes, Rambo 4 was much better than Rambo 5.

I stopped with 4. Never watched 5. It's a somewhat flawed film with a pitch perfect ending. Good enough!
