Rambo's Best Prequel Movie Would Make Someone Else The Hero
The best Rambo prequel movie shouldn't focus on the titular character as the lead. Over the course of five movies, the Rambo series had some dramatic genre shifts. The original movie First Blood was a relatively faithful adaptation of David Morrell's novel, though it toned down the darkness of the story and removed the bleak ending. First Blood is a grounded survival drama where Sylvester Stallone's traumatized Vietnam vet only kills one character — and that's in self-defense. When Stallone returned for both the second and third Rambo movies, the character became an unstoppable one-man army who used everything from a bow and arrow to tanks and assault helicopters.
