tuksakat My favorite all-time hardcore action movie! I watched it many many times by myself and with friends. Arnold was at his prime in this movie. The weapons he uses are amazing to see, like rocket launcher, cold weapons, etc.The characters are great, too. They each have a personality which is rare for an action movie. The villains are memorable, too. Lots of classic quotes are said in this movie by Arnold that have become classic! Love it!
Paul Magne Haakonsen This is one of those timeless classics from Arnold Schwarzenegger that you do not get tired of watching, despite knowing the storyline so well already.The movie is from 1985 and is definitely one of the defining movies in the early stages of Schwarzenegger's action movie career."Commando" has a heap of action, and actually has a good story and of course it is crammed with one-liners.Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rae Dawn Chong carry the movie quite nicely, while Vernon Wells in the role of the main bad guy was just laughable because of the way the character was written and the fact that he wore a chainmail shirt throughout the entire movie.There are lots of mistakes in the movie, with the obvious ones being Sully's yellow Porsche that alternates between having a severely damaged chassis to being in mint condition and then going back to being severely damaged. But also the numerous scenes where it is painstakingly obvious that it is a stunt double for Schwarzenegger performing the action sequences.But all in all, a very entertaining action movie filled with nostalgia.
jordansepticeye I've recently decided to start an Arnold Schwarznegger movie marathon,and I started with this one.First,the good,the action of course,very well choreographed and memorable,this movie almost felt like a video game,besides all the shootouts,there was a great knife fight.The pacing,the action is nonstop,so the movie goes by fast,but not too fast.The characters,they are decently acted,and are all memorable.The addition of Rae Dawn Chong's character was one I liked,she provided some much needed comedy to balance the over the top nature of this movie.The music,while outdated,is fun and fits the film perfectly.The best part of the movie,Arnold,of course,he is so entertaining,spitting out one liners and being super intimidating,while he may seem unrealistic in the climax,it makes sense because throughout they show his strength,which is a lot more than the average person.Now,the bad,the acting at times isn't that great,and sometimes the stupidity is pretty high.Commando is a highly entertaining action movie that is nearly perfect.
TheGDfather Probably one of the greatest action movies ever. And I mean it had everything you wanted in an action movie. Nudity, one liners, violence, and just a plot that really didn't make sense and didn't need to. And it was original from the stand point of just fight scenes alone. I mean this is probably one my favorite along with action jackson. Too many people nowadays just aren't funny. And the movie producers didn't want arnold to talk? What the heck is wrong with them?Arnold was great in this. He didn't say a lot but said enough. Hes whole one man wrecking crew was what the 80's action hero's were made off. And unlike the early 80's we didn't get any cheezy graphics messing it up. And the girl in this movie is amazing. Yeah shes corny as heck. Especially when shes in hotel screaming about macho man stuff. But its great. She doesn't come off like a bimbo. I heard they had a love scene in it. But I'm afraid that wouldn't have sold and I am not going to get into why. They director made a smart move by cutting that out.There we so many great characters in this movie. Bill Duke for one. Is there another better leaking mean guy than him? I do not think so. He played in the predator and this very well. He is also action jacksons captain in the movie. The man can play a hard ass all day and just nail it. So throwing him in your action movie is pretty much a no brainer. I'm in the national guard now and I saw a ton things that just wouldn't work. How he was firing those weapons with hand, how he's throwing grenades. But you know what it didn't matter, it was very great and you were waiting till he met the bad guy. Another thing I like about this movie is they don't wander from the script. There is no other side story period. Just him doing what it takes to get his daughter back. No going deeper into the general's life, nobody cares. They didn't explain matrix very well, they just mentioned he was ex army colonel and his daughter was taking by some guys in south America and he needs to get her back at all cost. Let's go!!Arnold has been in some great action movies. This one I felt was the best. I enjoyed terminator 1 and 2 and the running man, as well even the knew one The last stand but seriously just blow things up and show a few knife fighting scenes and I'm all good.
