| Rating |  | | Date | July 23, 2005 | | Summary | This movie is so awesome! | Content
 | If you want to watch a good action movie, Commando is one of the better ones. Of course it is completely unrealistic and Arnold goes onto an island and whipes out literally 1000s of men. So, beware, this movie is THE MOST UNREALISTIC EVER! But, it's classic Arnold! Arnold rocks!
The plot is about a retired military guy played by Arnold whose daughter is kidnapped. So of course, this means business and Arnold declares war on them with machine guns, rocket launchers, knives, pisotls, shotguns, and more.
The movie is mindless fun with nonstop action, explosions, fights and more. Arnold also has loads of classic one liners like: after he suffocates a guy with a pillow on an airplane; to the airline stewardess: "please don't disturb my friend, he's sleeping."
Or when he's hanging a guy off a cliff:
Arnold: Remember how I told you that I'd kill you last.
The guy: Yeah, Matrix, you did.
Arnold: I LIED!!!!!! (before dropping him off the cliff)
This is one of my top Arnold movies because it's such great fun. One of the best action movies out there. Mindless, memorable, great fun!

| Rating | | | Date | July 04, 2005 | | Summary | Over the top. | Content
| Okay, I understand that you have to suspend disbelief in an action movie of this type. But this one goes way over the top. I lost count very early, but Arnold kills dozens and dozens of bad guys in this one. All of them are shooting at him but they all miss. He shoots at them and they all die. He jumps from a moving airliner into a marsh and lands on his behind, but isn't hurt in the least. When he shoots a rocket launcher at a vehicle, everyone in the vehicle dies. When his plucky female sidekick fires the same rocket launcher at a vehicle containing Arnold, Arnold emerges unscathed.
If you can check your brain at the door, you might enjoy this as a relatively harmless action flick. |
| Rating | | | Date | June 14, 2005 | | Summary | A movie that was smarter than the times | Content
| Commando is a movie that in retrospect, is smarter than the era that it came from. The 1980's was time where people took their action very seriously, and by the time Stallone drove up in his Harley in Cobra, it was all grim faced testosterone. Enter Commando with its implausible action and furiously pumped up superhero blasting away one liner after one liner on his revenge spree. The clever sense of humor elevates this beyond the other films of the era as it hilariously engages in the excesses of the time. It's a fun watch, and an interesting commentary on both the action within and the audience watching it. A classic movie. By the way, the closest to this sort of genre inversion today is "Torque," which takes on the grim faced Fast and Furious race car flicks and rips them with humor and over the top action. If you love this sort of wit, see both. |

| Rating | | | Date | May 21, 2005 | | Summary | IS THIS A MOVIE OR A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON???!!! | Content
| I gave this cartoon 3 stars because of the GREAT action scenes but they were SOOO WACKED and SOOO unrealistic!!!!!
This is a low budget film (or cartoon) that have a very cheap story about a soldier trying to rescue his daugther from a hispanic army of evil rebels, if he doesn't do what the rebels told him then his daughter will die unless he find another way to get her back. The 80's was a time of lame hero stuf! but if you want to see a good pro-america movie or cartoon then this one is great.
If you like to collect pro-america cartoons then here are some popular ones:
1- Rambo 2.
2- G.I. Joe.
3- Centurions.
4- Rocky 4.
5- The Patriot.
6- Bloodsport.
7- Independence Day.
P.S: Don't get me wrong! this cartoon is GREAT!! but the action scenes are more like comedy than action. ADIOS.
