Pros: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rae Dawn Chong, Action, Humor Cons: Not challenging for those who like a good plot
Commando (1985) "Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied." John Matrix This movie is not going to bolster your IQ any but you will probably get a few chuckles out of it, even if you are not given to frivolity. ;> If you are ...
Ah, the eighties - long has it been my contention that this decade was the golden age of action movies. Aliens, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Conan, Rambo, Delta Force, Total Recall, Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China - they just ...
Pros: What's not to like? One of the biggest and boldest action films ever in history. Cons: Funny continuity errors, ridiculous absurdity (some may say these are pros).
Are you familiar with the term “guilty pleasures”? I am referring to those films out there which are not necessarily high art, but are highly entertaining. I am talking about those movies which have been blasted by critics everywhere, yet in your...
Pros: Action, action, action Cons: story, character development, editing, dialogue, unbelievable to the extreme
Suspension of disbelief. Thats a term one should become intimately familiar with prior to watching this film. Because in all of my movie-going years, I don't think I've seen any film push the "believability" envelope quite like Commando. ...
Pros: Schwarzenegger, Chong, action scenes Cons: Not enough action, Milano, development on some villains
"John Matrix" (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a retired colonel in an elite special military unit, now lives in a secluded mountain home with his young daughter (Alyssa Milano). They have a great relationship and are living peacefully -- until a military ...
Pros: See a young Arnold... who looks exactly the same today! Cons: Lots of violence, one scene of useless nudity, bad soundtrack.
This movie wasn't bad at all. In fact, after wasting my time on Terminator 3, I was about to sign off Mr. Governor and his movies forever. A friend invited me to a movie night, and I decided (reluctantly) to give this film a shot. Ten minutes ...
Pros: Decent stunt/fight/chase work. Early Arnie, if that turns you on. A few fun one-liners. Cons:Ca-Ching!. Short. Cheesy. Silly plot.
There was a time in the history of Western Civilization when Arnold Schwarzenegger was bigger than the Beatles when the Beatles were bigger than Jesus (OK, maybe just "of comparable size" but you get the point.) During those heady post-...
Pros: Fun, simple plot. Clear delineation between "good guys" and "bad guys." Cons: Corny plot, wanton violence and property damage, completely unbelievable. (These are actually pros!)
While watching "Ah-Nold's innauguration this morning, I *knew* that I needed to watch one of his movies just for the heck of it. Without a second thought, I pulled out... "COMMANDO." Arnold has done some good movies, but this by far is my favorite. ...
Pros: Great action and one-liners. An action classic Cons: Absurd and ridiculous. But those are pros, really. Wastes minor characters
There's a reason Arnold Schwarzenegger became the definitive '80s action hero: Commando. He busted heads, spouted one-liners, and blew the hell out of everything. Like the '80s, he was full of himself, over the top, and completely absurd. ...
Pros: Sweaty Schwarzenegger and Cute Chong Cons: It's still drivel
Yep, The Big "S" (Arnold, of course) strikes again -- I say again because he did some stuff before this movie. Commando is a tautly formulaic pot-boiler action flick that gives Arnold a chance -- nay, mandates that Arnold ripple his...
Commando defines a good Action movie. There is great action and little drama or serious acting. Arnold also has many memorable catch phrases like "Let off some steam" or "I smelled them coming". The plot of this movie is that Arnold...
Pros: Great idea, multiple settings for action, Arnold's humor Cons: Short, and the 80's influence in the movie
I truly believe that Commando is one of the best films Schwarzenegger starred in. This film has a mixture of settings all with great action. Not to mention the one of a kind humor of Schwarzenegger making this movie great entertainment. The...
Pros: Good acting, great plot, and a must for your collection Cons: None
Commando was the first Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that I ever saw in the cinema, I was 13 years old when I saw this movie and I thought the film was great, I used to see a lot of the guy movies with my friend and his family (his dad was in Vietnam and...
Pros: Good action adventure movie Cons: Predictable, not much plot.
What Arnold Schwarzenegger lacks in ability is more than made up in his physical prowess.
Commando is a typical action adventure movie with a bit of comedy thrown in. Arnie plays the main character who hooks up with a ditzy lady to save his...
