Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

tuksakat My favorite all-time hardcore action movie! I watched it many many times by myself and with friends. Arnold was at his prime in this movie. The weapons he uses are amazing to see, like rocket launcher, cold weapons, etc.The characters are great, too. They each have a personality which is rare for an action movie. The villains are memorable, too. Lots of classic quotes are said in this movie by Arnold that have become classic! Love it!

Osmosis Iron This movie just oozes of muscles, explosions, one-liners, shootouts and awesomeness! Arnie is in absolute top form playing John Matrix(even his name is badass!), who is an unstoppable killing machine and a loving father, funny how these things go hand in hand! Definitely one of, if not the best action movie where the emphasis is purely on action ever made!

patomartinezfgo When you watch Commando, don't expect a movie with interesting characters and a great script. What you will get from this film is guns, one-liners, blood, muscles, and clichés.This movie is a pretty good action flick. I mean, its not the Terminator or John Wick but its pretty good. By far the best element in this film is the cheesiness. You know that the actors and staff are not taking this seriously and just want you to have a good time.Arnold is the ultimate male symbol in this film. You can see that in the first scene in which he appears. He has a chainsaw in one arm and a f*cking giant log in the other while wearing a tank top. There really was nobody else who could play this character in the movie.The one-liners are great. They are so cheesy and good. You really get a kick every time you hear one.The action is pretty fake of course, but you can have a lot of fun with it if you don't mind that a machine gun can shoot forever and never run out of ammo. This movie really feels like a video game. The only problems I have with this movie are the female lead, which I really didn't find useful at all and didn't really know why she was helping Matrix just because. Also, she was pretty stupid.The other problem I have with the film is that the action doesn't pick up until the end. Don't get me wrong, there are some pretty good action scenes sprinkled here and there but I think they should have spent more time in the final battle which is really fun and the best part of the film.Another thing I cant help but notice in this film is that Vernon Wells (Bennet) looks an awful lot like Freddie Mercury with that facial hair.

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every movie in Arnold Schwarzenneger's filmography in order I came to Commando.Plot In A Paragraph: John Matrix (Arnie) A retired elite Black Ops Commando, launches a one man war against a group of South American criminals who have kidnapped his daughter to blackmail him into committing a murder.Arnies attempt at a Rambo style movie is more in the vain of Rambo: First Blood Part 2 than First Blood as Arnie's one man army wipes out an army that is about 100 strong. A cheap and cheesy B movie at its best. It never for one moment has one foot in reality, It's over the top and ridiculous but with Arnie at his charismatic best, it's amazingly quotable and at least entertaining. Despite having his moments, Vernon Wells is awfully miscast and looks ridiculous fighting Arnie. He didn't even come across as crazy enough to be dangerous. I developed quite the crush on Rae Dawn Chong watching this as a kid, and not much has changed. Alyssa Milano is cute enough as Arnie's daughter, but Dan Hedaya is awful. It pains me to say that, as I like him.I'm not sure how lazy James Horner was feeling when he composed the score for this, but it's the same score he used for 48 Hrs. Arnie surprisingly doesn't talk much about Commando in his autobiography Total Recall. He mentions how Joel Silver paid him $1.5 million dollars for the role, and after this movie, he always asked to have one liners put in his movies. And that is about it. Commando ended the year the 25th highest grossing movie of 1985, with a domestic gross of $35 million.
