Finally got what all the fuss was about. I've seen every other Terminator film (except the last one that just came out I guess) and while I thought it was an ok series, I never got why the love for it. Yeah this film was really well shot, with a lot of great action scenes and directing and I can imagine why it would be iconic for most people's childhoods.

Average movie that had me expecting way more than what it delivered. At least the tank battle scene was really fun.

I was in a bad mood and I wanted to watch a very lax movie. I'm glad I did. It made me feel all nostalgic about my high school years, and also got me in the mood to place one day the amazing Spiderman 2 PS2 game :D. I loved the cast, I loved all the cheesy lines, James Franco and Alfred Molina were all kinds of fun in this film. Also watching it so many years later I realized that it's true that this is perhaps the best super hero film ever made when it comes to getting a perfect balance of drama, comedy, action and character development. Too bad we never got a number 4.

The nice thing about a Schwarzenegger movie is that even the bad ones are entertaining, even if they are train wrecks.

In fact, I can make a compelling argument that Commando is Schwarzenegger's most enjoyable film.

That's a good idea for the next Schwarzeneggar film; derailing a train.

I'd list his Top 5 for me as:

1. Conan the Barbarian
2. Commando
3. Terminator/Terminator 2
4. Predator
5. Total Recall

But that's just my list of favorites, and there are a lot that I love that could easily be switched in or out, like Twins, Kindergarten Cop, The Running Man, True Lies, etc.

It's also entertaining to go look at the worst films he made. Red Heat is bad, but I find it hilarious. Raw Deal is probably his dullest movie in my opinion. Red Sonja is a bad wannabe Conan, while Hercules Goes to New York has to be experienced at least once. Last Action Hero is hit or miss, depending on the person. And he's had a few blander films, like The Sixth Day and Eraser, but I still had fun watching them.

It is the logical end of the character. In Robert E. Howard's official stories, the last is probably The Hour of the Dragon, where Conan is in his mid-40s and has become a king but gets deposed and fights to reign again. It's not the last Conan story Howard ever wrote, but it does serve as a solid finale to the character. This sounds like it could take place even after that, with Conan giving up the kingdom later. I like the idea, it makes sense to me as both a fan of Howard and the character.

Funniest and most suited for: TWINS
Most 90's awesomeness: T2
Most Violent: Total Recall
Most movie with three boobs: Total Recall
Best Wood Chopping scene in a movie: Commando (2nd place goes to Age of Ultron)
Best movie featuring biceps and an alien: Predator
Greatest movie where Arnold was actually an Executive Producer: Last Action Hero
Number one film with boobs that aren't exposed with Arnie: True Lies
Number one film that you really wanted to see the boobs: True Lies
Best Arnie movie with Tina Turner in it: Last Action Hero
Best cameo in an Arnie movie: Conan the Destroyer (Grace Jones)
Greatest movie with the greatest one-liner: Commando (I Lied)
Worst Arnie movie: The one with the devil
Film featuring the hottest villain: T3

Don't think you can put together a "best of" of Arnold movies as they are all vastly different...but kind of the same.
