Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged again my mind begins to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

Nah I love that it squoze out everything you could want out of the premise. One of the rare times a high concept blockbuster left me completely full. I don’t care that it’s unusually long.

It’s a good action adventure movie. Might be a bit too kiddy for some Arnie fans but I thought it balanced that well. Its also stuffed a little full it’s like they did the sequel as part of the same movie.

>What if Neverending Story but you kick ass with Arnold
Too based for general audiences

I just rewatched it and it was surprisingly good. At the time I think it was disappointing because I just wanted a straightforward serious action movie from Arnold and not some meta comedy. I think most people felt that way.

The disconnect was that it was an honest celebration of how a child would daydream about action movies, rather than a true recreation of how most classic action movies feel. It’s childhood wonder core.

Most people didn't get that it was a parody. They thought it was trying to be a serious action film that ended up being silly, without realising that the joke was how silly big blockbusters had become. Maybe casting Arnold was a mistake because people couldn't see him as making a joke about himself and his defining genre. It'd be like if they actually cast Stallone in Hot Shots! Part Deux.

>career killing movie
Whose career was killed by it? True Lies came out the next year and was a massive hit.
