Absolutely stupid brilliance. A magnificent, reflexive, fun, schlocky "love letter" (hate the phrase but it's true!) to action films. The first hour of this is so divine, and the second half dives into strange meta-commentaries on celebrity that I had totally forgotten.…
demi adejuyigbeJun 2, 2012This film has the most insane amount of cheesy one liners. This film has Professional Evil Brit Charles Dance. This film has some unbelievably impressive action sequences. This film completely takes the piss out of itself. This film is about movie magic. How…

Worst part is that in 2019 this kid probably has a popular youtube channel where he points out plot-holes and inaccuracies in movies.
Willow MaclayMay 21, 2014There are many films wherein a character creates a false reality in order to help cope with some trauma they've suffered, a devastating break-up (Annie Hall) or a haunting death (Romancing in Thin Air). This is the only film I know wherein a character moves from a false…

Paul Scheer - May 29, 2021
Simultaneously one of the great action parodies because beyond the expertly crafted Looney Tunes visual gags, on a filmmaking level it's frequently indistinguishable from the real thing (God McTiernan) and one of the best movies about a movie star literally wrestling with…

demi adejuyigbeJan 24, 2018sorry but no one can convince me this isnt an underrated masterpiece when theres a scene of arnold playing hamlet and the voice over says "theres something rotten in denmark...and he's taking out the trash!" like how is this not supposed to become one of my favorite…

Edward Kronkvist likedLast Action HeroIt isn’t one of Arnold best films in a long shot but it was very entertaining and I really liked the meta aspect of it when they parodied and made references to other famous films.
ThaDrizzle lovedLast Action HeroClassic movie, a movie that is sort of a spoof but it’s done well enough to take itself seriously when Arnold comes into the real world. Real fun time
- Caltrop Star likedLast Action Hero
Action packed Arnold Schwarzenegger flick with a spin on reality. It’s worth watching, but not one of his greatest movies ever done. Child friendly.
Jennifer Facenda likedLast Action HeroEven though the script is a bit cheesy at times, it’s a cool concept. Plus the soundtrack is really good (“Angry Again” by Megadeth is featured)
Rohan likedLast Action HeroPlenty of corny Arnie lines. Not one of his classic new but not terrible. Got a bad wrap in the box office but I quite liked it. 6/10
- Tony Mantia likedLast Action Hero
8/10 This is a feel-good action-packed story with 10/10 cameos, and over-the-top 80's action tropes! It's just a fun time.
Scranton Strangler likedLast Action Heroi do really like this movie and love the easter eggs all throughout it. love the creativity
Bram lovedLast Action HeroLoved this movie when I was growing up and is still my favorite Arnold film.

Metacritic
The film tries so very hard to be The Movie of Summer '93 that it almost makes you sick for what could have been, what should have been, and, in the end, what it is: soulless sound and fury -- action in a vacuum.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
For all of its sensational stunts and flashes of wit, however, Last Action Hero plays more like a bright idea than like a movie that was thought through. It doesn't evoke the mystery of the barrier between audience and screen the way Woody Allen did, and a lot of the time it simply seems to be standing around commenting on itself.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Last Action Hero is sporadically entertaining, but it could have been a whole lot more. Trimmed down and better edited, this film might have been a top-notch satire. As it is, however, it gets caught someplace in between action and comedy, and never really comes across as a solid example of either.
