Leave your thoughts about Last Action Hero.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Really would work if it ever really let audiences in what it was trying to accomplish. |
| eFilmCritic.comAndrew HoweA hugely enjoyable, amusing and inventive comic-book action flick. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseConsidered a dunderheaded big-budget flop in its day, Last Action Hero looks considerably better now in its creative self-parody. [Blu-ray] |
| CinenganosLuis MartinezSmart but complicated. Arnold needs acting lessons. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyJoyless, tastelss, and soulless, Last Action Hero can't decide if it's an actioner, a comedy or a spoof. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisArnie's ego has got too big for him...as evidenced here |
| Washington PostDesson HoweIf there's one thing going for Last Action Hero, it's the construction of it all. Even if this intermixing of kid fantasy and adult shoot'em-up, Hollywood insider jokes and cheap Arnold puns, doesn't completely bowl you over, it's clever and intriguing. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe movie isn't mindless; it just has a mind that's a bit junky and muddled. And to their credit, Arnold and his collaborators haven't played it safe. Last Action Hero is a stretch. Unfortunately, it's a stretch that proves the star wasn't that elastic to begin with. |
| Common Sense MediaHeather BoernerArnold spoofs action movies, adds more violence. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt makes more than its share of missteps, yet the core of this action lampoon delivers a decent portion of laughs and mischief, giving Schwarzenegger and McTiernan an occasion to make fun of themselves while raising a little hell. |
