Summary: Fantastic Dan and Bugster say "its kill-tastic!"
Review: Let us start out by saying that EVERYONE in this movie dies. Arnold single handedly kills about 4,500 solders in 20 mins. Imagine how many people die in your standard war movie and then double it and you will end up with about how many people he ends up killing. It also has more explosions than a trailer park on the 4th of july. It is a great movie for any action fan and is easily one of the top Arnold movies out there.In fact there is only one word to describe its coolness "kill-tastic!"

Summary: My favorite Schwarzenegger
Review: The storyline of this movie is so cheesy, that you'll have to laugh again and again. Arnold has 11 hours to find his kidnapped daughter and free her from the bad guys. And while doing this he shows his fans all they want to see him doing: Being a one-man-army with major firepower. Especially the scenes in the mall are unforgetable: When he lifts up the phone booth with the bad guy in it and throws it away. And then his one-liners: "Let's take Cook's car, he doesn't need it anymore" or "please leave my friend alone, he is dead tired." And so on. For anybody who likes Arnold an the eighties it's the perfect movie!
I wish Arnold would do more movies like this today!

Summary: Pre-teen Alyssa Milano lusts after peak-form Arnold
Review: Is there a better opening sequence in the history of film-making than the picturesque montage of Matrix and his daughter frolicing in the woods surrounding their rural hide-away? Here we see the two of them having breakfast; here they are petting a dear, turning their heads to pose for the camera. A true Kodak moment! Believe me, there has never been a more happy father-daughter tandem than Matrix and his Jenny. But then the hapless duo are beseiged by an army of mysterious Latin Americans and a guy that looks a little too much like Freddy Mercury to believe he is actually a worthy adversary of our superhero. Holding his daughter ransom, the kidnappers try to force Matrix into assassinating a Latin American politician. But Arnold has something else in mind! He does a little kidnapping of his own, but of course the beauty that he captures ends up falling for Arnold's compassion and musculature, and ends up helping him in his quest to save Jenny. The two of them have a series of wholesome, plutonic bonding experiences, such as stealing a bunch of artillery - including a rocket launcher - from a local department store. There are no surprises here - just typical Arnold v. Army battles sequences, with Arnold easily taking on hundreds of soldiers, only suffering minor shrapnel injuries. Movies like this aren't made anymore; or, if they are, they go straight to video. This flick is a relic, a time capsule from the Reagan years. While it embraces such Reagan ideals as the rugged individual, it also seems to subtely criticize Reagan-style imperialism. Although Matrix certainly doesn't agree with the Latin American guerilla tactics, he doesn't exactly embody American patriotism either. He stands separate from politics, critical and suspicious of all who seek power, wanting only the love of his daughter, and some nice interracial hanky-panky.

Summary: Great action flick!!!
Review: Commando is essential for all Arnold Schwarzenegger movie buffs! Arnold stars as Matrix, a retired member of a special ops commando unit. Freddy Mercury took a sabbatical from Queen to star as Bennett, a villain who kidnaps Matrix's daughter Jenny(played by Alyssa Milano). In addition to superb action sequences, there are so many funny 1-liners! For example, after Arnold throws a steam pipe through Bennett, he says "Let off some steam, Bennett." Also, right before dropping Sully, another bad guy, off a cliff, the following banter occurred: Matrix: "Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?"
Sully: "That's right, Matrix. You did!"
Matrix: "I lied." I highly recommend Commando! It's a barrel of fun!

Summary: I have seen better, I have seen worse
Review: I have come to expect a lot from Arnold as I have seen his talents. This movie just wasn't up to the standards I am used to seeing. Chances are that this may not have been the case when it was first released, and that my dissapointment steams from the fact that I watched this one in the wake of the Terminator films. Arnold makes a great one man army. It is worth your time, but you may want to rent it before you buy it.

Summary: Extreme Action!
Review: In this movie Arnold Schwarzenegger plays as Johnny Matrix. He is a one man army. A group kidnaps his daughter(extremely stupid decision) and then he is ordered to kill the president of Val Verdes(I think I spelled it right). Arnold agrees, but manages to escape without getting caught. Now he is on a mission to rescue his daughter. While the plot may seem basic and some of the odds unbelievable, it is extremely fun to watch and it never lets up. The action may slow down for 10 minutes total throughout the movie and that is spreaded out time. The DVD doesn't really have any special features, except widescreen and the usual DVD options. Giving this movie a rent atleast is definatley worth it. Buying it is even more worth it!

Summary: One Of The Greatest Arnie Films Of All Time
Review: This is an awesome movie. I loved this movie. It's non-stop action. Matrix(arnold) is the main character whos daughter gets kidnapped. He has to do a job. If he doesn't,they will kill his daughter. The job is that he has to fly to some place and kill the president. He doesn't. He kills the guy he's with(the guy that makes sure he's on the plane the whole way). He jumps off the plane. He has eleven hours(until the plane lands) to find his daughter and kill the kidnappers. This movie rules(especially the last twenty minutes). I'm sure you'll love this brilliant Arnie classic.

Summary: Rocket launchers at your local mall
Review: This film is a masterpiece, a prime example of 1980s action cinema. Every single element is in place. Arnold does little but just be himself. He plays an ex-military man whose daughter is kidnapped by some bad guys. You know, I never actually bothered to follow the whole plot. I knew the basic story about Arnold coming to rescue his daughter, but that's all I really needed. The bad guys are some Latin army types, drug lords, I don't remember, but they're headed by Nick from Cheers (Dan Hedaya) and some sick guy named Bennet (Vernon Wells). The man wears a tank top with chain mail and leather pants. He has a bad, sloppy mustache. He looks like Freddy Mercury. And of course, he is the most evil, which means Arnold will have to have a showdown with him. There are hundreds of points of recommendation I could make for this film. I could talk about Bill Duke, I could talk about David Patrick Kelly playing another seedy, disgusting character. The violence is top-notch. Basically, Arnold takes on an entire army. Arming himself at a local LA mall (yes, a mall) with assault rifles, rocket launchers, and claymores he takes on El Presidente's goons. There are knives being thrown. There's Arnold, pulling out gun after gun like a video game character, there's slo-mo shots of bullets riddling bad guys and lots of good blood squibs. There's blatant spring-board effects when guys go flying from explosions. There's obvious re-use of certain explosion shots. This film has it all. The music is dum-dum-dumdum-dum snare and march and perfect. The toolshed sequence is a classic. Arnold borrows from a horror movie and hacks, chops, and slices some inept grunts. Commando delivers the goods 10 times out of 10. The bad guys are sleazy and stupid, and Arnold is invincible. He gets hit by a speeding Porshe, shot, beaten with a lead pipe, burnt, dropped from an airplane and he still walks off into the sunset. And he;s spot-on with the one-liners. "Let out some steam, Bennett." "Don't wake my friend, he's dead tired." "I let him go." This movie has a lot of death, a lot of bullets, and bad acting, bad scripts, perfect direction, and brilliant production. Appreciate Commando for what it is: the top of its kind.
