    It’s basically a loud, ridiculous action ride that doesn’t care if it makes sense, and that’s kind of the charm. Everything is cranked up—lines, fights, explosions—and it just leans into it without blinking. You can tell everyone involved knew exactly what kind of movie they were making. At the same time, yeah, it’s pretty thin. Not much depth, not much to latch onto beyond the spectacle, and some parts feel unintentionally funny. But if you’re in the mood for something easy and over-the-top, it does the job. Just don’t expect anything more than that.

    This is one of my all time favourite films

    Perfect little flick to "let off some steam". Is it the best western action movie ever made? No, how can it be? This is one of the earliest entries in the classic 80s/90s action movies. You can play a drinking game finding all continuity errors and bloopers. But it's got a lot of charm, and it was a crucial milestone for later Arnold movies. Just relax and enjoy the punching sounds.

    Not perfect, but not bad.

    It's tempting to think of this as just "cheesy" or whatever, but Commando has a pretty deliberate sense of humor to it, at times feeling like it's trying to be a bit of commentary on the genre without overdoing it. Way more interesting to revisit than I thought it'd be, heck of a movie on multiple levels.

    Falls into the so bad it's good category. This is a stupid movie that survives solely on Schwarzenegger's pure star power.

    It's so dumb, but at the same time, so great. More cheese than a stuffed crust pizza, chews scenery like cows do cud, and everyone hams it up so much they may as well have cast literal pigs. I love this movie.

    This was a pure fun, classic Arnie action movie. Loved it!

    I might be overgenerous giving it 5 stars out of nostalgia, but I don’t mind since the protagonist is a legend in a legendary movie

    Pretty on-par, shallow 80s action flick. Cringey intro. Otherwise, just here for the punches and explosions. Chong was nice addition.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger is matrix in commando I’ll be back Bennett It’s a completely ridiculous movie that I watched when I was 11 years old So it touches a place in my heart and I laugh at specific parts Stallone released first blood part two when this was released At this point Sly was winning. Because two years after this, Schwarzenegger teamed up with director John McTernan and began making great films like 1987’s predator which changed the game This movie is not predator This movie may very well be why Schwarzenegger decided to go with A list talent moving forward. It is very soon afterwards we would get terminator two or T2 at which point, sly was releasing Rocky V. Schwarzenegger was about to go on a winning streak What does any of this have to do with commando? You might ask… Nothing, I’m dictating to the phone thinking out loud If you’re going to fire a machine gun at 20 people in a film and have them all drop… If a grenade gets thrown and five buildings explode … If you want to see completely unrealistic, poorly developed scripts that entertain you nonetheless, or if you just want to revisit this for nostalgic purposes like I did Do it Let off some steam Bennett

    Classic. Take out everyone and quit the game.

    This is the stereotype of action movies.
