i've only seen 4 films from that list, & honestly, i think all of them are at least good, & i think one of them is truly great. it's a big world, & we're entitled to our preferences, but i cannot accept categorizing commando as a film that sucks when it's given me pure fun every single time i've watched it - approximately 800 million times, give or take.
maybe i'm easy to please. if i'm not bored, if i'm having a good time, then the film is good, & i'm never going to say no to a good time with a movie.
That's kind of how I feel about Commando. It's not a good film, but it is enjoyable and should have been worse. Usually these 1 vs. Everybody are complete crap.
shareArnie carries Commando on his shoulders, the dude has wheelbarrow loads of charisma. No other actor alive could have turned that film into a success and made it memorable. I always thought Rae Dawn Chong was an odd choice but she's perfect in the role.
shareI'm a huge Arnie fan. Stallone comes second for me, but nowhere near the Austrian bodybuilder.
shareI agree on 2010, Commando, and A Team. Flawed but enjoyable.
My adds:
Mission Impossible 2
Venom
Lady in the Water
Prometheus
I think Prometheus is just underrated in general. I wouldn't even say it sucked. Maybe a little disappointing, though.
shareI AGREE...THE DISSAPOINTMENT FROM MY ANGLE COMES FROM SCOTT ABANDONING HIS LOFTY PREMISE FOR ALIEN ACTION AT TIMES.
shareScientists touching just-discovered alien life forms. Someone turns into a zombie. Aliens want to destroy life on planet they seeded because ... because ... they seeded it? etc etc
I enjoyed Prometheus but only because I sort of lean on my own alternate interpretation fantasy.
