Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

jodyfranz I haven't watched this since it first came out. I remember liking it but not really something that I was very keen on. That is until I rewatched it recently. I can appreciate now what this movie was doing and it is fantastic. Not to mention I love the nostalgic buddy cop movies. This movie has it all for me. Even the kid is pretty good. Some of the special effects don't hold up too well but all in all a fun entertaining movie designed to be a commentary on movies wrapped in an action movie.

jamariana You've got a tatted up Vincent van Gogh as the villain with Salieri and a plump, fedora-wearing Picasso on his side. You've got a universe with Stallone as the Terminator. You've got bombs exploding and Arnie wearing heeled shoes, his hair the colour of his coat. It's an adrenaline pumped version of "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and references cinema in unsubtle, but quirky ways. It's an entertaining movie from the '90s... what more reason does a person need to watch a movie?

jimbo-53-186511 Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) is a young boy who skips school and spends a lot of time at the cinema watching his favourite movie star Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Nick (Robert Prosky) is a kindly old man who works as a projectionist at the cinema whom innocently hands Danny a magic ticket - Nick is somewhat sceptical about this supposed magic ticket and innocently gives the ticket to Danny. However, Danny soon learns that the ticket is very real when he finds himself transported into his favourite action star's world...Clearly, Last Action Hero is intended as a bit of fun and one feels that McTiernan was poking fun out of the action genre - which incidentally is a genre that made him a very big name. This approach works in the first half (when Danny is transported into Slater's world and he's trying to convince Slater that his own existence and everything around him isn't real). Unfortunately, despite the numerous celebrity cameos and the odd in-jokes and nods and winks, this film falls short when it chooses to focus on plot and story (which seem to unfold in real time when Danny becomes part of the movie). It's from this point forward that the film seems to lose a lot of its irony and becomes another weak action film - perhaps that was the point, but it doesn't make for a particularly entertaining film.Worse follows in the second half when McTiernan abandons most of the fun when Slater arrives in the real world in New York. From this point on McTiernan plays it far too straight and carries on as though he's directing a serious action film - he seems to forget that the film is supposed to be fun. Mega star Slater arrives in Hollywood where he is a household name but no-one seems to recognise him. Wouldn't it have been funnier and more satirical if he was stopped everywhere he went for an autograph or a photograph whilst he was in his pursuit of justice??Having said all that, the film certainly has some fun moments and does have some nice nods and winks - Robert Patrick cameos as the T1000 and in the movie-world we have Sylvester Stallone on a Terminator 2: Judgment Day film poster (a character whom Arnie himself famously portrayed). There is also an ET spoof with the bike riding through the sky, but many of the stronger moments are in the first half and I couldn't help but feel that the concept was starting to run out of steam by the 1 hour mark.Last Action Hero isn't a bad film and is one that I would say is watchable (it does provide basic escapism and is fairly undemanding). However, I also felt that it was never as fun as it could have been and is also far too long, the story is weak and it loses some of its satirical edge in its second half. As the saying goes it's close but no cigar...

Minahzur Rahman Great 90s action movie! I remember watching this as a child, and I enjoyed every second of it. It's one of my favourite action movies from the 90s. It's something I could watch several times as a kid. The story was interesting. The movie is entertaining with plenty of action. The movie is funny too. It's a great kids movie, yet a great movie for all!The villains were probably the best thing about this movie, and I also liked how they included a cartoon character, but it would've been great had it had more screen time. The same goes with several other characters. This movie had potential to be even greater. I'm a huge fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he was the perfect choice to play the main character. I don't think anyone else could've played that role any better. I would say it's one of his more underrated films.Nothing more to say really other than the fact it's just a good and entertaining action movie.
