Better every time I see it


I think this is a rare example of a movie improving with time.

One of Arnold's finest.

SAW THIS ONE AT THE THEATER WITH MY PARENTS AND SISTER...I LIKED IT THEN...I LIKE IT MORE NOW...GREAT FLICK.🙂

I’ve liked it since day one. The humor and parodies was spot on for my teenage mind.
I always liked Arnie’s quirky comedy stuff. 7/10

I've always loved it. I was twelve when it came out, and I think I saw it three times in the theater, and later wore out my VHS copy of it. I loved Schwarzenegger action flicks from the 80's and early 90's, and I also really related to Danny, because going to the movies was like the most important thing to me in my life at 12. I preferred sitting in a huge dark theater, and getting lost in a movie adventure, to my real life circumstances. Plus, the soundtrack was awesome.

To me, this is a Top 5 Schwarzenegger flick.

I couldn't agree more. I hated it when it first came out, now I love it. T2 to this was such a disappointment at the time, but it definitely gets better the more I watch it.

reply

T2 was a next level blockbuster — this film could only disappoint so soon afterwards

But I think at the time, this film tried to parody Schwarzenegger while he was, himself, still such an over-the-top action hero that he bordered on self-parody even in T2.

So maybe we (those of us who said “meh” back then but love it now) needed time to become nostalgic for that cartoon hero

I do remember a sense of “too soon” when I saw it back then.

Watched it multiple times.
In the 90s they know how to make entertainment movies.
I am fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy movies, he didn't afraid to joke at himself.
For me it's 9.4/10

This is what happens when a movie is ahead of it’s time. Love it.
