The Running Man vurderinger og anmeldelser
- John Moss5. januar 2026Upon revisiting the original version of the Running Man. I have to marvel at how much better the Arnold version is than the current Glen Powell edition.
- Niztradamus12. oktober 2025Cheesy 80s action just never gets old. You know what you are getting into. A bucketload of corny one liners, a lot of stale acting by Arnie and still being the coolest dude in town, physics and effects that make less sense than any Michael Bay movie and a storyline that completely goes batshit crazy and yet you see similarities to current times that back when the movie came out, nobody expected to ever happen in the west. I can't give it 5 stars for it has some major flaws but it's just a hell of a good time for anything less than 4 stars out of 5.
- BEAULONEA3. juli 2025Super 80's action. A story more shallow than a kiddie pool and poorly executed action. Not my favorite Schwarzenegger movie.
- Durosity13. mars 2026A classic. It’s hammy, it’s ridiculous, it’s unbelievable.. but it’s also enjoyable.
- Zokkiie19. april 2026Total chaos in a way that’s kind of hard to hate. It’s all big swings and zero restraint, like it was made on pure adrenaline. The tone jumps around, the dialogue gets ridiculous, and it never really slows down to catch its breath—but that’s part of why it sticks. Not everything lands, and some moments feel straight-up awkward now, but there’s an energy to it that keeps you watching. It’s dumb, loud, and a little uneven, but also weirdly enjoyable if you don’t overthink it.
- nicknack0414844. oktober 2025Was okay for a classic movie
- tommy470629. september 2025Always one of my favorite Arnold movies. Classic and action packed
- Karen Nakamura15. mars 2026Not one of Arnold’s best. Hasn’t aged well and the 2025 remake is better. Arnold seems to be playing a caricature of himself.
- sti5321. september 2025Aahhh.. the eighties. The decade of one liners and uptempo pop music in action scenes <3 The premise for this book/movie is actually almost spot on when we take a look at what the world has come to with censoring, lies from the media and manipulated videos/photos with help from computer software. I've had it on my list for ages, finally got around to watch it for the first time. And even if I didn't rate it higher than 2.5 stars, I am glad I finally got around to watch it.
- gibbens7. september 2025I know it’s kind of a cheesy movie, but I really still like this film. I think Richard Dawson is awesome, Jesse the body Ventura is awesome, and Arnold’s over the top acting and cheesy dialogue just makes me feel like I’m a kid again. I think this movie is more of a guilty pleasure than anything else and I am really looking forward to the new one… But, you really can’t go wrong with this.
- flavo4329. november 2025The Running Man is a wild, high-energy burst of ’80s action cinema wrapped in a near-future dystopian premise that still feels relevant today. Its foundation—television propaganda used to pacify and manipulate the masses—is incredibly strong and could have delivered a razor-sharp critique of media control. Instead, the direction leans heavily into over-the-top spectacle, transforming what could have been a chilling satire into a flashy arena of explosive set pieces and dark comedy. Richard Dawson is sensational as the game show host–turned–villain, bringing a charismatic menace that outshines almost everyone on screen. Arnold Schwarzenegger, while undeniably iconic, steers the film into familiar territory with one-liners and brute-force heroics, shifting the story away from its more thoughtful, dystopian roots. Despite these missteps, the film remains enjoyable for its pop-culture punch, memorable characters, and outrageous energy. It’s entertaining, but you can’t help wondering how much more powerful it could have been with a more grounded, satirical approach.
- Dave Barnes6. januar 2026OK, so it's dated, very dated. The lycra clad protagonists aside though, it was always being played for laughs to some extent. But, let's face it, this was never a good movie.
- jagdeep528. november 2025Saw this original after seeing the 2025 version cinema. The original is now gloriously cheesy, with one liners from Arnold for example. Really entertaining
- Abba24. november 2025Holy, 80s one-liners galore, with just the right amount of cheese.
- wonderrxjr17. november 2025Interesting little flim this was. I'm glad I watched this before seeing the new one tomorrow (I never read the book I still don't have a frame of reference). Arnold is really just Arnold in this, which is funny. Like Terminator reference okay ! Star Trek refrence in this, that's fun ! And Dynamo looked like he was in Tron !
