Summary: FORGET IT.
Review: Truculent, unispired directed movie. The original idea was good, but was wasted while developing it. THi child is annoying, not a good actor at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "don't give up your day job" says jack slater
Review: this film is quite odd it's been brought up in a quite smart way, a young little boy goes to a cinema with a magic ticket given to him, the ticket makes the boy go to the movie with arnie, as the boy saw who murdered jack slater cousin he becomes partners with arnold , together the two help one another and together are going to get revenge, on the people who killed arnie's cousin.

if you dont like the typical action well then forget about this because this is arnies biggest action film when impossible things happen like when arnies driveing with no hand and busy shooting the bad guys.if your the erson who does love his typical action films then your in he right place to buy it because your be watching it over and over until you die.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Arnies best films
Review: Not only is it one of the best films he has made but also one of the funniest. A true homage to the action genre. The only people who would not like this film are the kind of people who do not possess a sense of humour. The play on the well established cliches typically attributed to the action romps of the eighties and nineties is handled with a pinache now rarely seen in films in general.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: I THOUGHT "LAST ACTION HERO" WAS A WONDERFULL FILM. IT IS PERSONALLY MY FAVORITE MOVIE. I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE AND WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF AND NOT BY WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK! I THOUGHT ALL THE ACTORS WERE EXCELENT BUT THE SCENE STEALER IS AUSTIN O' BRIEN, WHO PLAYS "DANNY MADIGAN" IN THE FILM. WATCH THE FILM!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Last Action Hero
Review: Jack Slater is a movie-character L.A. hero played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. When a mysterious ticket is given to his biggest fan, a young preteen obsessed with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Jack Slater movie saga, the lad is placed into Slater's fictional movie world and becomes his little sidekick. But when suddenly the ticket is taken by Slater's movie nemesis, the action is taken into the real world in an action-packed adventure starring Arnold Schwarnegger as Jack Slater AND himself, Charles Dance as Slater's evil foe, Austin O'Brien as Schwarnegger's young moviegoer, and Robert Prosky as his elderly friend whom gave him the ticket. Loaded with awesome music by Michael Kamen (Die Hard saga) and directed by John McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Thomas Crown Affair, The 13th Warrior).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is one of the worst action movies I have ever seen!
Review: I first saw this movie in the theaters and I really didn't like it. It was so corny and the plot wasn't that good. This movie is getting really annoying because it comes on TV almost everyday. I thought this movie was like a two an a half hour TV skit from Saturday Night Live.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: There's always somebody in the closet.
Review: Really holds up to repeated viewings. One of our favorites when we're not driving through a neighborhood, pointing our finger, saying 'The bad guys are in there!'

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Under rated Hero
Review: This is a GREAT, GREAT movie. Swollowed up in "Jurassic Park" fever in 1993, this funny ,clever send-up of hollywood and action films never got the attention due such a fantastic movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a big mistake...
Review: The big mistake is that too many people didn't understand the spirit of this fantastic, ingenious, bigger-than-life movie!

They didn't get it at all, and they took it in the first degree, instead of seeing it as what it really is: a big joke about action movies! Too bad for them, they missed a lot of fun...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Forget the critics!
Review: Forget what the critics said. This movie works beautifully on several different levels. As an action spoof it is hilarious, with many in-jokes, gags and cameos. As a fantasy it is ingenious with Austin O'Brien very appealing as a kid with a "magic ticket" that can transport him from the real world into the fake world of action films. And it works splendidly as a send up of Schwarzenegger's movie image giving him a big chance to do what he does best-poke fun at himself. It also works as one of the most original buddy movies ever. There is a lot going on here and it will take a few viewings to catch everything but that is what makes a good movie good. The action is wall-to-wall, no doubt, like many other action films, good or bad. The sequences are very well done but contrived, just like many of those previously mentioned films. But they are contrived for a reason-to spoof the genre. Because a lot of people who originally saw this didn't get it, it is, in this critic's humble opinion, one of the most misunderstood films of all time. That accounted for its bad reviews and low box office. But it is my belief that this was largely due to poor marketing. When Schwarzenegger (who served as executive producer) would appear on television to plug it, he made a fatal mistake. His description of this as a family movie was wrong. It is very violent, even though that too is done for a purpose. Imagine what a lot of parents thought when they took their kids to see this and within the first fifteen minutes or so, several people are killed or injured and there are gunshots and explosions galore. It is a mistake that to this day Arnold's career hasn't been able to completely recover from.Be that as it may, you must see this film for what it is and enjoy imagination and spoof at its finest. You will not be disappointed!
