Last Action Hero (DVD) Reviews

Last Action Hero must surely rate as Arnie’s worst movie ever. Based on an incredibly silly and overcomplicated plot it never seems to make up its mind on whether it is one of his usual violent offerings or a lame attempt at comedy whilst achieving neither end to any great effect. The Plot... A little boy gets to see a ...

Well a fan getting sucked into a movie world with his favorite action hero, already sounds a little dodgy. Then one of the villains from the movie world gets the magic ticket and escapes into New York where he doesn't always have to lose.... If you've got 90 minutes spare then go for it, but otherwise I'd give it a miss. ...

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 ...

However, if one peels away these offputting opinions and watches it without all this downplay, then you'll find an enjoyable film that takes the mikey out ...

Cue poor acting from Arnie ...

Well, this film was a big disapointment, Arnold Schwarzenegger has tries to mix action with comedy, a true disaster on his part, he should stick to what he is best at. The film Last Action Hero was supposed to play the image of real life and movie life, in which arnie was pulled into the real world from his movie world, it really did not make ...

This is a true disaster. At the time critics trying to rescue it said things like, "You have to be admire Schwarzenegger for being able to make fun of himself." But I don't think he was. I think this was Arnie taking himself far too seriously, and thinking he could act just because he had had some successful films. Its about ...
