Summary: What if they made a comedy, and nobody laughed?
Review: "The Last Action Hero" is a rare thing- an action comedy spoof that has difficulty remembering what it is supposed to be exactly. The action genre is certainly ripe for a mocking, what with the thousands of "Die Hard" clones Hollywood has thrust upon the public. This could have been the perfect spoof film- team "Die Hard" director John McTiernan with The Terminator and let the jokes fly. But instead the movie tries to be serious, then tries to make jokes about the genre, then goes back to being serious again. The actors are making one kind of movie, the directors are making another. It ends up a damn mess.

Aside from a humorous bit with Arnold as Hamlet at the begining, this one is a real dog.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dimitri's weekly review
Review: Last Action Hero is a top film that has a great sense of humour. A satire of action movies this involves a young boy by the name of Danny Maddigan who is obsessed with the movies. He is always at the cinema with the projectionist named Nick and he stays there admiring his favourite action hero and role model Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenneger), even though he ends up flunking from school. He is offered by Nick the chance to see the new Jack Slater 4 before it opens at midnight. When he goes he is given a magic ticket which was given to Nick by Houdini.He uses the ticket without knowing what it does and Houdini claimed it was a magic ticket which Nick was too scared to open. And so, Danny ends up in the movie and becomes Slater's new partner. This a great satire of action films and it is incredibly funny, the film also features briefly Tina Turner,James Belushi,Jean Claude Van Damme, Chevy Chase and many other top name celebrities, definitely a film worth buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TWO WORDS: "TOTAL QUALITY"
Review: What is wrong with you people? Don't you know a quality film when you see one? I first saw this movie when I was in seventh grade, it was a great movie back then and now, six years later still is.

Like the guy from the UK said, this movie was supposed to be a spoof, if you can't see that you're some kind of ding-dong. From the great begining to the hard rock and loud explosions all the way to the end credits. Jack Slater is one bad mo fo. I could go on and on about this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Did nobody understand this film was a spoof?
Review: I don't understand these comments, Last Action Hero is a spoof of the modern action film, that's why it's so corny and at times, badly made. Both the director and Arnie himself explained this at length during the promotion of the film but nobody seemed to understand.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The most disappointing movie of Schwarzenegger's career
Review: After making numerous hits, this was Arnold Schwarzenegger's streak-breaker. Great and very original plot, but VERY badly done. It tried hard to be funny where it shouldn't have. Annoying kid had too much screen time. I'm a big fan of Schwarzenegger and I was extremely disappointed with this film.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Needs more Austin Power
Review: Child actor Austin O'Brien steals scenes in THE LAST ACTION HERO, although his stand-out performance is not enough to make the film worthwhile. Not that the filmmakers weren't trying to make a quality picture. For effort, THE LAST ACTION PICTURE tops a number of routine action flicks (COMMANDO, ERASER) Arnold has made. But by time the closing credits roll, THE LAST ACTION HERO's slow moments outnumber its memorable ones. Inspirational line: "It's what you make it."

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A decent movie
Review: I avoided this film for the last few years because of all the horrible reviews. I finally gave in and watched it the other day and have to say, it ain't that bad. It could have been a lot better (i.e. they could have chased the bad guys through other films), but it wasn't near as bad as the critics would have you believe. Definately worth a look.
