Thankfully, the series made up for it with the outstanding "Rambo" in 2008, which is grim, gritty and deep. The Impressive Northwest locations are picturesque, albeit drizzly and dreary, while Dennehy is perfect as the arrogant, pushy sheriff. As far as thriller goes, this is upper echelon. Anyway, one good byproduct of seeing "First Blood" is that it'll inspire guys to get back in shape or get in better shape. Stallone is in his physically prime here, although he's not quite as bulked-up as in the two sequels.
