Rating: Summary: Fun and entertaining Review: If you can stand violence w/o blood and if you allow your kids to see that--you and the kids will be glued. This is a clever and very funny movie.
Rating: Summary: GREAT FUNNY ACTION FILM Review: This is a fantastic action film with loads of funny moments that I found very refreshing and cool. I knew it wasn't going to be a super serious action epic which is fine. Arnold is great. So is Charles Dance as "Benedict". Big explosions, helicopters loaded with guns. Great music and plenty of car stunts. I especially like the little mini-gun in the mini-van, very cool. Very enjoyable film that doesn't take itself too seriously. Buy it now!!
Rating: Summary: THE LAST ACTION HERO Review: I FOUND THIS MOVIE FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING.
Rating: Summary: The worst movie I have ever seen Review: I'm not in favor of book or movie burning but if I could destroy every copy of this movie I would. If there is a more stupid movie than this one I hope I never see it. This one is without doubt the worst movie of all times, so my advise to you is: Don't waste your money buying a copy of this movie, buy Spaceballs or even Pewee's Big Adventure instead. Coud you imagine it was said that this "movie" would beat Jurassic Park at the box office when they where both released in 1993 ?
Rating: Summary: The Last action hero rocks Review: Schwarzenegger is the worlds number 1 action hero and so he fitted perfectly in this film. Its something unique.It shows you the difference between fiction and reality.Well Done Arnie !!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent film -- A must for Arnie fans Review: This is one of those films that you just have to watch.Excellent humour, tons of action and fighting. What more could an Arnie fan want. Schwarzenegger is great in this film. He shows us how different the movie world is from the real world. This is something that hasn't been done before. I hope they make a sequel to this.
Rating: Summary: FUN MOVIE! Review: I think this movie was funny, and full of action. It's one of my favorites. See this movie if you're looking for fun!
Rating: Summary: Better than the critics say. Review: I can see why film critics panned this movie. When has a critic ever given a straight up action movie a good review? However, the fans all seemed to not like it either. Why is that? This is a very entertaining movie! The classic cheesy Arnold one-liners are there, but it's done on purpose...it's part of the Jack Slater character. The action is great and the comedy is just right for an Arnold flick, although there's a bigger focus on it than most of his other action flicks. Not only that, but, to go with the cheesy one-liners is a stereotypical, nearly one dimensional villain. This is not a negative...it fits right in with the feel of the movie. This is a definite must see for any Arnold fan out there. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rating: Summary: What's wrong with making a fun movie? Review: I realized something the other day. Sometimes we take movies way too seriously. Yes, the screenplay and the acting in Last Action Hero are sub-par, but who cares? The movie is a lot of fun to watch and it has a lot of good action in it. It may not be a masterpiece, but who ever said it had to be? A movie like this isn't meant to be taken seriously. I like it, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: A very underated Schwarzenegger film. Review: John McTiernan's "Last Action Hero" is always looked at as one of the big flops in modern day cinema. The truth is the film is a lot better than a lot of people are willing to admit. In Woody Allen's "The Purple Rose of Cairo" a desperate women falls in love with a character in a film she watches who just happens to jump out of the screen. Well it is basically the same sort of formula only a kid gets in on the action of the latest Schwarzenegger film, "Jack Slater 4" yet befriends the character and not the actor who thinks all of it is real and not a film. True, it is not as bittersweet as Allen's movie but I don't find that to be a flaw. It is a very fun movie and it was very enjoyable the whole way through. Arnold Schwarzenegger does a great parody of himself as Slater who spits out one liners during violent conflicts. I even found Austin O' Brien to be a fairly decent child actor in this film and that is a rare suprise in this sort of a film. The film is also backed by a great score of hard rock music from AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Megadeath and more. John McTiernan and Arnold Schwarzenegger suffered heavy blows with this film. True, it was not either of their best work but I think the critics were way too cruel. Its should not be viewed as a failure but as an enjoyable action adventure that it is.
