"28.05. DVD. Uusintakatselu. Muutos pisteissä: ***½ -> ****. LYHYT TOIMINTAMARATOONI: 80-luku Hetken mielijohteesta päätettiin kaverin kanssa pitää jokin leffamaratooni. Katsottiin sitten yksi toiminta leffa 80-, yksi 90- ja yksi 2000-luvulta. Moneen otteeseen nähty klassikko piti katsastaa taas kerran. Ei ole muuttunut. Samat hassut repliikit ja samat pallikkaat toimintakohtaukset viihdyttävät edelleen. Viimeksi tuli liikaa kiinnitettyä huomiota siihen miten huonosti tämä on teht"

"24.4. Ties kuinka mones katsomiskerta ja aina vaan paranee. Niin miesten menoa, että hengähdystaukoja tappamisen ja one-linerien välillä ei ole. Yksinkertaisesti kaikkien aikojen kovimpia toimintaleffoja ja nyt pakko nostaa pisteitä yhdellä kokonaisella tähdellä ihan viiteen asti."

"Originally, in the mid-80s, Nothing Lasts Forever was supposed to be adapted to a sequel for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s über-macho Commando. Just hold on, and think that for a moment: the Governator uttering John McClane's famous one-liners with his Austrian accent while trying to squeeze himself through the ventilation system of Nakatomi Tower. Eventually, Arnold turned down the role. Commando was co-written by Steven E. de Souza and produced by Joel Silver. These gentlemen have similar roles "

Remake? HELL NO! (18 movies items)

" Can you imagine anyone other than Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role of John Matrix? Can you imagine anyone other than Arnie saying "Let off some steam, Bennett"? Put quite simply, it's impossible to remake this movie and replace Schwarzenegger. Why would you want to?! It makes no sense to remake Commando. The filmmakers achieved the perfect tone of pure cartoonish absurdity, and it cannot be replicated. Plus, what's the logic in remaking a straightforward action star vehicle?! It's a ha"

"Watched: 6.4 DVD Arskan jykevän olemuksen varaan rakennettu pätkä, Commando lukeutuu ehdottomasti parhaimpiin Arska-mättöihin. Porukkaa kuolee lähes enemmän kuin Ramboissa yhteensä. Commandosta on turha alkaa etsiä mitään epäolennaisuuksia, antaa vain Arskan paukutella pahiksia hengiltä. Wernon Vells tekee hyytävän roolin Bennettinä. Tätä katsellessa saa nollata aivot ja katsoa kun macho-sankari pääsee vauhtiin. Commando on legendaarinen Iso - A klassikko, josta ei ruumiita "

" Critical Rating: 5/10 Rating When Head Is Removed From Ass: 10/10 Overall: 8.5/10 You can't defend Commando on any level above that of a guilty pleasure. But this doesn't matter. The movie is a prime piece of entertainment jam packed full of adrenaline, violence and action. My review says it all... "Let off some steam, Bennett.""

Screw Citizen Kane, THIS is a masterpiece!

“"All fucking hell is going to break loose..."

Though I walk through the valley of shadow and death, I shall fear no evil; for lord John Matrix will protect me; his big fucking guns and huge muscles, they comfort me.

In the beginning, there was the masterpiece known as Commando. And the God of '80s Action Excess did look upon it and see that it was good. And lo did Arnold Schwarzenegger massacre hundreds of mercenaries in displays of awesome ultra-violence, and Alyssa Milano did rejoice. Amen.

After the triple play of The Terminator and both Conan films, Arnold Schwarzenegger graduated to top billing with Commando; a classic '80s action movie which fetishises explosions, violence and guns, in addition to containing an assortment of evil villains, cheesy one-lin” read more

Command & Conquer.

“Cooke: You scared, motherfucker? Well, you should be, because this Green Beret is going to kick your big ass!

Matrix: I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now, I'm very hungry!

Arnold Schwarzenegger: John Matrix

If there were a number of Arnie movies I would watch as a child and for what they were, it was Predator, Terminator, Last Action Hero, Total Recall and Commando is yet another. There are no pretensions here, as director Mark. L Lester creates a thoughtless, macho, no-nonsense parade of exciting violence with plenty cracking one-liners along the way. The climax especially, as there's no mercy with a rampant Arnie taking on a small arm” read more
