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.
J Besser This movie was critically bashed at the time. I did not see it in the theater. I saw it when it came out in VHS. But I've always liked it. i just finished watching it and I find it a very smart movie. It really is a movie that aimed high. It doesn't always work. It does have a few clunkers but overall it's very funny. It's also very exciting. One of a kind.
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.
ivo-cobra8 Underrated solid Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy satire that doesn't deserve the hate. People really don't understand and don't appreciate action films this day. I grew up watching action heroes and Last Action Hero is my childhood film with Arnold I grew up watching. After 14 years I re watch this movie today and I still love it. I love this movie to death I miss Arnold Schwarzenegger I miss him, I wish he would make such a good action films today I really do wish. Why is Arnold now fat and he can't get in to shape anymore why?Back there were all these action heroes who were my idols! Where are they now: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton where are all those action heroes now? I miss those guys a grew up with it. I miss the Rambo trilogy, Tang & Cash, Demolition Man, Commando, The Running Man, Predator, Total Recall, Red Heat and of course Last Action Hero. Everyone today is talking about Terminator films what about this movie? It doesn't get even mentioned and get's a bad rap why? I don't understand the hate it is a f****** satire man! It is a fiction not to be taken serious and that a good one. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Austin O'Brien does a solid job at acting performance. God I wish Arnold would be today in the best shape, they don't make em like this anymore! Sorry is PG-13 rated but it still good and entertaining movie that i enjoy. This movie reminds me on Die Hard it has a beautiful score by Michael Kamen beautiful soundtrack by Tesla - Last Action Hero. Screw The Goonies this is my film it is my favorite of Arnold it is my favorite action film with humor, sorry we have animated cat but so what he wasn't that much in the movie and he wasn't annoying. It may be a satire, but Last Action Hero just may be one of the last true action films. Real stunts, real explosions, real destruction, reality gone twisted. It's Arnold's most subversive movie, and it's many things, but bad ain't one of them. I miss those movie I grew up and I want them so much back. It is a real shame making an action film today without real practical effects or without CGI every god damn action film today has to be CGI, no explosions nothing. I want the 90's back and I want my childhood back. Why can't we have a good action movies anymore what is wrong with Hollywood this days? I miss Arnold I miss his stunts I miss all that. I miss John McTiernan I miss his movies work direction. please come back why did you leave us? You movies are my favorite, Predator, Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Hunt for Red October and The 13th Warrior those were really good movies. He directed perfectly I love his art direction I didn't see anything bad about this movie. I love the actors it was well done acted it is an entertaining flick. Arnold Schwarzenegger make fun of his self. Sly Stallone did make fun of him self like in Tago & Cash (Rambo is a pussy...) I miss those action heroes it really hurts me that we don't have a such a good actors anymore. Last Action Hero is a 1993 action fantasy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater, an action movie hero whose movie world is invaded by real-life teenager Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) through the use of a magical ticket.I give this movie 10/10 it doesn't deserve the hate, f*** the haters again I don't understand the hate for Batman Forever another 90's superhero flick. I love it, I love the acting in this movie, good dialogues, a lot of humor, little drama and Arnold kicking evil scumbags of the planet I miss those kind of action movie it is really sad today. This movie has no CGI or shaky cam at all it are practical stunts and real explosions unlike today.
