Nostalgia good, not actually good. Love this as a kid, and it holds up. Fun, dumb and full of action. Highly entertaining.
Super under appreciated gem. Sure it’s not perfect and it could lose like ten minutes here or there, but it’s creative and action packed.
It's definitely an underrated Arnold flick. Super fun action parody.
Great action comedy movie fun, underrated Arnie movie worth watching
Very clever script goes along way here. Definitely a fun watch, doesn’t take itself to seriously
The stunts are all great, the special effects look amazing, and it’s ingenious premise. Some good tongue-in-cheek jokes and is just fun.
A simultaneous beat-down and celebration of the action genre
There are some problems, but it’s still enjoyable, creative, funny and action packed.
Arnold is now a parody of himself. It's ironically funny.
Subversive and hilarious. John McTiernan directed some of the best action ever created and, here, one of the best action movie spoofs.
