Last Action Hero Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
borismk-38942 This movie is probably the greatest deconstruction of the Action Genre ever made. The fact that the film starts with the kid going *into* a movie should give away that that's what it's meant to be. Not to mention the obvious differences *which the characters repeatedly state* between the movie and 'real life'. As spoof movies go it's right up there with Tropic Thunder (better imo). No movie has done it better, and none ever will
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.
mike48128 The use of a "Magic Ticket" years before the first "Willie Wonka" movie! A stolen premise from "The Purple Rose of Cairo". Of course a projected fictional character cannot walk off the screen into "real life" and someone can't walk onto a film. "The Slasher" pushes "Jack Slater's son" over the fatal edge of a tall building and that's a very unfunny beginning. Great explosions, fire, special effects, and stunts. At it's best when it's acting like the comic book hero movie "Dick Tracy" or the campy version of "Batman". Almost too many cameos and "walk-ons" to count. Basically a "set-up" for numerous and preposterous "action hero stunts" each about 20 minutes long. Caught up in "the real world", Jack Slater must find his way back to his imaginary movie world where his mortal wound becomes "just a scratch", of course! Arnold pretty much plays an exaggeration of himself and it's a perfect vehicle for him. On repeated viewing, it is paradoxically more enjoyable yet more stupid. I love the "trained" Doberman Dogs. Like "Airplane" some of the jokes are brilliant and some are not funny at all. Why has no other reviewer mentioned that "Oddjob" from "Goldfinger" is villain Benedict's henchman and that every woman in the fantasy world is a "babe" including Jack Slater's "daughter"? For fans of mindless action hero movies!
