Commando Movie Review

Short Version: The Over-the-Top Action movie that all other Action movies aspire to be! Campy to all hell, there’s no better movie to watch with fellow Arnie Fans! Throw in Encouraged Quote-Alongs, Free Cap Guns for every audience member, Live Pyro-Technics in the Theater, and Fucking Explosions this was one Arnie Film Experience that sadly will never be matched! Thank you Alamo Drafthouse & The Action pack!



What you’ll Like:
• Arnold at his Best! Oozing Bad Ass, Doing whatever the hell he wants, and Delivering Campy One Liners!
• One of the most absurdly mismatched, out of shape but completely bad-shit crazy awesome villains arnie has ever faced! Bennett!
• An Entire Army of Trained Soliders Expending thousands of Rounds Every SINGLE ONE missing due to being DEATHLY Afraid of Arnold.
• All of the obvious and hilarious fake effects, stuntwork, and wires that they decided to leave in the film.
• Having Hundreds of Movie-Go’ers fire off their Capguns at the same time during all the Action Sequences.
• The Heat from the Explosions, confetti and steam from on-stage makes for an immersive experience no theater can match.
• Beer and Full Menu in the Theater. Nuff’ Said.

What you’ll Hate:
• Not one FUCKING THING! And I Will fight any man who says otherwise!

Final Verdict:
10/10
PERFECT

THE BEST THEATER FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME!
ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE
Beer. Food. Movies. And Sometimes Explosions. Be Jealous.

    I love how Joe was actually trying to shoot the bad guys on screen like a game of Duck Hunt instead of just firing his cap gun recklessly.

      Commando and Avatar don’t belong in the same sentence. Commando is Googolplexian times better than any movie in the universe. In fact It’s not a movie, It’s a Document to all of the mankind

    No better way to watch Commando! Last time I saw something that awesome was Terminator at Universal Studios (I believe it was), where they had robots shooting lasers on the side, explosions, and an Arnold lookalike fly right out of the screen on a motor bike, the ride off. It was amazing!

    Making us all jealous Joe. We need more groups like these guys!
