Rating: Summary: Super fun action/fantasy... Review: If there was ever any movie that celebrated Arnold Schwarzenegger movies it's "Last Action Hero." Actually, this film celebrates action movies in general. Directed by action legend John McTiernan (Hunt for Red October, Die Hard), this fantasy film about a kid named Danny who goes inside a Schwarzenegger film is loaded with nonstop action, some good laughs, and tons of cameo appearences, including: Ian McKellan, Robert Patrick, Tina Turner, Chevy Chase, Jim Belushi, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Little Richard, and Danny DeVito as an animated cat! This film brings in loads of fun, and the casting of Charles Dance as the villain is genius. Sure, this film isn't perfect, but if you're an Arnold fan it's plenty fun. Sometimes, the movie even works as a spoof of action, like in the car chase scene where literally every single car explodes. This film really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's actually one of my favorite Arnold films. I'd recommend this film to the child-at-heart; to the people who never really grew up. It's fun for the kid in all of us.
Rating: Summary: Best Arnold movie nobody likes Review: I can honestly say that I love this movie. At the time when I first watched this movie I wasn't old enough to rent R movies and I was a huge Arnold fan so I rented this movie. The movie presents a great story that has action and is funny at the same time. The movie showed what many kids like me wished they could do, go into the movies with their heroes. I watched it many times since then, so much so the movie doesn't seem as good as it did. The movie just offers so much to like I can't see why anybody wouldn't like it.Reviewers wrongfully made fun of this movie and probably caused it to tank. I was so mad when I found out that there was no chance for a sequel. I awaited a sequel to this movie almost as much as a sequel to T2.
Rating: Summary: Wake up,it's hilarious!! Review: A young boy is thrown into the latest action film that stars his favourite fictional hero,Jack Slater,played by Arnold Schwarzennegger,both in the real film and in the film inside the real film...It's full of laughs and I'd have thought anyone with sense of humour would like it for what it is.
Rating: Summary: best action hero Review: this movie is a fun adventure of a kid who daydreams about movies because his regular life is boring, so he's always at the theatre watching "jack slater" films.he knows the plot line and guesses as to what happens next all through the film. eventually by magic(or a dream) he goes into the movie becomes a character with jack slater and then gets to go in the 'real' world where 'slater' finds out he's not real! this is a fun movie with cliche's upon cliche's. puns and more puns like 'i bet you didn't know i was going to say, rubber baby buggy bumpers! ha! if you like fantasy movies this is it. with the idea you can be in the movies and change the events like in 'hamlet' or 'the seventh seal' in fact Arnold makes fun of his own movies-witness Stallone as the Terminator, then when jack is in the realworld he says he hates Arnold. talk about making a movie about yourself and then insulting at the same time! with art carney,anthony quinn,f.murray abraham, and many cameo's and spoofs of other movies , this is fun to watch over and over, and most of it takes place in the movie theatre with the projectionist intertwined in the story. (p.s. i used to operate that type of projection equipment when i worked at a theatre.) the writers did an excellent script with last action hero. only thing left out is there aren't any 'extras' on the dvd just the movie in widescreen.
Rating: Summary: TRULY ONE OF THE WORST FILMS EVER. Review: I saw this film for the first time some weeks ago. I expected a hard- hitting action thriller, with reasonable acting to boot. Instead I got, what I can only describe as the worst film with Arnie (and this includes the "Conan" series!!, yes this film really is that bad). With a storyline more irrational than a dog on heat, Arnie leads a cast which capitulates under some truly awful script- writing. The very thought that a boy, (who also annoyed me with increasing severity as the film trudged on), could pick up a magic ticket, which transports him into different places of compromising situations, is absurd. The villains are more wooden than the "Mary Rose" and just when you thought the film could not get less feasible, the ending comes along, and you are left to sit on your seat, flabberghasted that you've really watched the entirity of what is a really very poor movie. Verdict: If you're a fan of nonsensical storylines and below par (more like ten below par!!), then this is the film for you. To all others who actually want to see a decent film, watch "The Usulal Suspects"!
Rating: Summary: The Best Movie of Arnold's Career! Review: I really do not understand why this movie is disliked. Action movies are nothing but garbage and "The Last Action Hero" does a fine job of mocking them. It is absolutely hilarious and is one of my favorite movies.
Rating: Summary: Last Action Hero Review: A good action packed film with Arnold Schwarzenegger! It's has good acting and the dvd was clear as a bell. It makes you think of what it would be like to have a fantasy hero come to life! If you like action movies this is a definite one to rent or buy!
Rating: Summary: Spielberg's Dinosaurs buried this movie. Review: LAH was the movie that went up against Jurassic Park and LOST. With a lot of explosions and zero acting talent both in front of and behind the camera, was it any wonder that no one liked this movie?!
Rating: Summary: The ultimate in Ah-nold action-comedy megacheese! Review: With its super-over-the-top take-offs of the most hackneyed action flick cliches ever seen on the silver screen, 'Last Action Hero' is one of the most enjoyable cheeseball classics I've ever experienced. Sure, it has the reputation of being a bad film, but it's bad in a so-bad-it's-good kinda way. Ah-nold's physical presence and delightfully deep-toned & accented banter really adds a great deal of... um... well, pretty much the same things to this flick as it has all the other actioners he's ever been in. And, like other flicks that feature a prepubescent kid, budding thespian Austin O'Brien gives this baby that tried-and-true aw-shucks-isn't-he-just-keeyoot factor that adds to both the hokey fun AND the nausea! The on-screen chemistry between him and Arnold is part 'Laurel & Hardy', and part Riggs-and-Murtaugh. Well, actually it's more part Abbott & Costello, and part 'Tango & Cash'... um, no that's not quite right, either. Well, let's just say it's a much better team-up than Sylvester Stallone & Estelle Getty ('Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot'). Come to think of it, what action-comedy team-up ISN'T better than that? But I digress. If you're looking for a not-half-bad action/comedy flick that possesses plenty of super-hokey megacheese moments, and will leave you both entertained and mortified that you were entertained by it, 'Last Action Hero' just might be the movie you've been looking for! 'Late
Rating: Summary: Alot of Action Review: Arnold Swarzenegger was fantastic in this movie. Alot of action.
