First Blood portrays Rambo as a tragic hero, a war veteran rejected by his own country. The film critiques a society that abandons its veterans, using Rambo's struggle for survival as a reflection of his inner turmoil. The violence serves as a manifestation of his trauma. While I appreciated the film's themes, I would have preferred less action and more focus on Rambo's psyche and social challenges. The emotional moments, particularly the final scene with Trautman, are powerful – had there been more of them, the film would have been even more impactful.

The film becomes increasingly unrealistic with each iteration. I mean, who wins that much money in just 20 minutes at a casino? The first storyline feels more grounded in reality. Because of that, I don't consider the ending a true happy ending.
