Summary: One of arnold's worst
Review: Hey I'm an Arnold fan, and I gues it's a reasonable action movie. But don't expect to much from the special effects, (cheesy) or the acting (awfull), or the storyline (very thin).

Summary: The standard for action films
Review: Commando does for action movies in the 1980's what The Dirty Dozen did for the same genre in the 1960's. It totally reinvented it. First of all, you can't take it seriously like so many critics have, because it's so hilariously absurd. The bad guys, and I like to refer to them as "the bad guys" since they are perfect comic book material, kidnap Schwarzenegger's daughter and he goes to get her back. In the process he shoots about 500 guys all by himself and comes out with a single shrapnel wound and his daughter. Lots of machine guns, grenades, stabbings, tons of shooting, stuff blowing up constantly every couple minutes - all that's here in rapid fire progression, so there is NEVER one dull minute. Schwarzenegger also delivers some terrific one-liners, as other viewers have mentioned. One of the really great things about Commando is the actors. While not an actor's movie, like JFK or Hoffa, the actors really do a good job. Dan Hedaya is sadistically inept - probably more inept than the bad guys in Last Action Hero. The first four or five that he kills are the most stumbling, fumbling serious looking villains I've seen on film. Other attractions: Arnie gets wiped out by a car while running through a mall parking lot and gets back up via his momentum and contiunues running! Arnie jumps out of an airplane into a swamp while in air! Arnie punches the, I guess, dashboard of an airplane - and makes it magically lift up in time to clear a boat after an uzi battle! Arnie also swings from the rafters of a shopping mall like Tarzan with somebody shooting at him. Then he chases the guy into a phone booth, picks it up, and press slams it! If you're an action film fan, there is NO going wrong with Commando - it will satisfy the hardest to satisfy for action.

Summary: Cheesy, but one of his best.
Review: Yes, this is a cheesy 80s action movies, but most of them were made like that back then. ALL of Arnold's were in those days. The ridiculous action in this movie is laughable. Hundreds of bad guys shooting thousands of bullets at him and none of them hit. Meanwhile, Arnold's picking them off one by one. It's great! The villains are all melodramatic and their acting's almost as bad as Arnold's. But still, I have to love this movie! Arnold carrying a tree with one arm. Arnold pushing a huge truck down a hill. Arnold interrogating a bad guy while dangling him upside down over a cliff by one leg. We also get to see an early movie appearance by Alyssa Milano. If you can laugh at the cheese and the bad acting, this is a very enjoyable action movie.

Summary: The best of the Schwarzenegger films
Review: This movie was my favorite all time Arnold movie. It has great action, as he is an ex-special ops guy, and a gentler side as is shown in his interaction with daughter (Alyssa Milano). Rae Dawn Chong is a great comediac sidekick. This movie just has everything, and it doesn't stop from beginning to end.

Summary: Absolutely, Deliciously Horrible.
Review: I couldn't figure out whether to give this movie 1 or 5 stars;either one would fit it just fine. "Commando" is without adoubt the pinnacle of bad-movie-making. From all of Arnold's one-liners to never-ending ammo belts to literal swarms of mexican guardsmen who cant hit ONE(1) target with thousands upon thousands of hyper-velocity slugs, this movie HAS to go down in cinematic history as THE most mind-numbingly moronic, idiotic, cheesey, grotesquely fake action movie EVER. One of the "best" parts of the movie was when Arnold's character blew up an entire coastal complex with 2 claymores. I don't have to go into that because anyone who knows their explosives knows what a claymore does and doesn't do. "John Matrix." Damn. I swear to God, a three-year-old could come up with a more realistic name... When it comes down to it, "Commando" should be owned by all who have a stressful job, need some release, or just want to laugh until it hurts. BUY IT!

Summary: Hare-brained actioner
Review: One of the best action films of the eighties, "Commando" would seem simply infantile if it were made today. It would not even qualify as a "direct-to-video" release. The dialogue is abysmal and provides some unintentional amusement. The performances are sub-average, as one would expect from this type of film. The plot is nonsense. The campy villains are strictly comic-book cut-outs. The final scene (Arnie's infiltration of the Latin American island fortress and his blowing away every scumbag that gets in his way) still thrills, however, and, if one may say so, rises from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Summary: BAD...
Review: The record for killing enemies is definitely set in this movies, by Arnold's character. It's a brainless production, aimed for his fans, who will buy anything coming from him. He thanks you all.

Summary: Please don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired!
Review: First of all, I have to say that COMMANDO is one of the best action flicks of all time. For total mindless entertainment, this is definately the action flick to check out. From Arnie pushing his truck over a cliff to the infamous "He's dead tired!" line on a plane after smashing a villain's face in, the film rockets into action almost every second. Arnie is top notch as always, especially when blowing away baddies towards the end of the flick (listen to those scrawny screams of soldiers as they are blown ten feet into the air). The stunts are spectacular, the action is terrific and even the musical score by James Horner fits the bill in this overblown action epic. Definately worth a look. DROUGH!
