Arnold will not be stopped, not by you, me, or anyone. Your girly bullets cannot puncture his invincible flesh. Your command posts and lookout towers are no match for his physics-defying mines. Not even the laws of nature can confine him. Watch as he survives a fall from a high speed plane onto solid ground and uses his magic grenades to cause enemies to explode in perfect harmony. It's total trash, but it's the greatest piece of trash you'll ever see.

This movie rocks, while sucking. But mostly it rocks. Arnold Schwarzenegger has the magical ability to make bullets fly and hit enemies he's not even aiming at. He can also make Claymore mines placed on the perimeter of a building blow the building up from the inside. And accurately shoot an M16 from a prone position with one arm. John Matrix is the most invincible, amazing man ever.

Quick question: Least threatening villain ever? An out of shape Aussie with a chain link wifebeater? Seriously? If Arnold was able to mow down 982 of this guy's cronies on the way to their big showdown, how am I supposed to believe that this porker has a chance? At least he gets to be on the receiving end of what might be Arnold's worst one-liner of all-time. "Let off some steam, Benedict."

Has pretty much everything a Schwarzenegger fan could ever want--Arnold carrying a tree, Arnold lifting a porche, Arnold impaling a man with a pipe, allowing him to let of some steam, Arnold killing a man and making the corpse look like it's sleeping before jumping from the landing gear of an airborne 747 jet into a swamp--it's all there.

People always laugh at the "Eye eet Green Berets for brackfaast - and raight nauw I'm very hunree!" bit, but forget the line right after: "What is it with this macho bullshit?!" That self-awareness, embracing stereotypes and sending them up at the same time, is precisely why you've seen it, and will probably see it again.

The best 80's action film and the best "so bad it's good" movie you will ever find. Every line in this movie is quotable and hilarious, Arnold kills 200 people, and everything eventually seems to blow up. If you can't find enjoyment in this you probably don't have a soul or are a huge movie snob. Best lines = COMO ESTAS, I LIED, WRONG!!!, Come on you piece of shit, fly or die. *plane starts* Works every time.

I have to honestly toss this in the "so bad it's good" pile. I can't consider this a good movie on it's own merits but watching it to make fun of with some friends is most certainly a worthwhile amount of time spent.

"LET OFF SOME STEAM, BENNETT" "WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING? / WORLD WAR THREE" "I HAD TO LET HIM GO" "BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A CAR! / *crash* / I DO NOW." "REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I'D KILL YOU LAST SULLY? ...I LIED" It doesn't take itself seriously, and if you grant it the same then it's a watchable if utterly braindead action film with some marvelously cheesy one-liners.

The 1980s action movie at it's most ludicrous, entertaining extreme. Arnold kills about a hundred people, bullets seem to ricochet off flowers, buildings explode from the inside despite the explosives being outside, a rocket launcher gets set off facing the wrong way, Arnold survives a fall from an airplane taking off, and the villain doesn't need the girl. Absolutely hilarious.

The intro of Arnie is absolutely hilarious. Also the intro with him and Milano is so fucking corny. Anyway, the action is awesome (great explosions) and I had to giggle a lot of times. I grew a pair of balls too just by looking at Arnie, using a machine gun, all sweaty and greased up. Rawr!

This movie justifies the notion that if you put Schwarzenegger in even the crappiest of action movies it will at least be watchable once. This movie is by all accounts a piece of shit, but I'll be damned if I wasn't having a good time laughing at all the stupid lines and ridiculous action pieces.

A purely man movie. His name is Matrix. He carries a tree on his shoulder. He never reloads. He goes axe to groin. The only thing he leaves for his backup is bodies, and if he likes you he'll kill you last.

"Let off some steam, Bennet." Filled to the brim with awesomely ridiculous one-liners and over the top visual violence, this film is the epitome of 80s action flicks.

"I can't believe this macho bullshit!" might be one of the most ironically prescient lines in cinema history. The entire final fight of this film might as well be a still image of a penis with grunts of exertion over it. But it's not terrible, and Vernon Wells's performance as Bennet is pretty entertaining. The soundtrack is weirdly dissonant and chaotic too, which added an interesting aspect to the film. The sheer concentration of one-liners gets a little grating after a while though.

Ineptly made Arnie vehicle is littered with errors that appear to resemble a coherent style in the classic autistic auteur mode. The acting is bad, the shots often don't match, the action is sloppy, and there isn't a hint of self awareness, but these faults make it an entertaining piece of 80's trash that has been overpraised by the irony brigade yet retains its cracked low rent charm. Arnie delivers a handful of classic cheesy one liners, and Wells is a hoot as the comically unhinged Bennett.

Cheesy actioner, supposedly a keystone of Arnold's early career but doesn't hold a candle to films around it like Terminator or Predator. The acting and script are damn weak, the plot pretty uninteresting and focused on the wrong people at the wrong times. The finale when he's all kitted out as an unstoppable killing machine is iconic, sure, but easily surpassed in tension, style and pomp by almost all action films that followed it. +5 for female sidekick firing a rocket launcher backwards.

By 1985 standards this might have been a good movie, but I'm unimpressed with the stupid plot and cheesy dialog. Green Beret with incredible fighting skills can't shoot straight? A stewardess uses a rocket launcher against a police van? Bulletproof Arnold? The absurdities just keep multiplying as the movie progresses. Bad writing, bad music, corny dialog, super cheesy gun battles. It was a chore to watch this, even with all the crazy action that keeps it moving along. Barely worth watching.

I somehow missed this movie until now. Too bad for me, but better late than never. Life always needs more Schwarzenegger cheese. Favorite feat: Bad guy enters phone booth, Arnold simply rips booth (with man inside of course) off the wall, lifts it over his head and smashes it to the floor. Brings a tear to my eye.

This is a preposterous movie. More a fetishizing of muscles and guns than anything else, it expects way more than suspension of disbelief from the viewer - Matrix is essentially invincible (e.g. jumping from a height of 50 or so feet into 3 feet of water without even being stunned), and the rest of the characters are similarly one dimensional. It is, however, a great movie to watch with drinking buddies.

I do love Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I can almost forgive this movie on the grounds that it was only meant to give the public more muscle, more guns, and more explosions. However, Commando seemed too simple, too easy, and made Arnold out to be unstoppable. With a lack of drama, the film just felt like it was going through the motions, and never found its step.

For one of Schwartzeneggers early action films this isn't too bad. Story is kind of silly and I wasn't buying the cheesy daddy-daughter relationship. Worth a watch to see a young Arnold and Alyssa Milano.
