He's back,with a little more front [Posted on 2008-05-04]
Now i was a big fan of Arnold back in the day.so when i saw this i had to buy it.it holds up pretty well.the new 5.1 surround is good but the picture looks like its just been transfered straight from the video.as for the extra footage in the directors cut its not much to get excited about.most notable is the tool shed scene which has been fully restored.the original theatrical release is in there to so with the audio commentry and behind the scenes stuff to its just about worth it.

Good Movie [Posted on 2008-05-09]
This is a good action movie. The acting is sub-par but who cares. It's about 90 minutes of Arnold getting his daughter back. It's a must see for any Arnold fan.

Commando was released the year after I was born, but I've never seen it up until now. But I've heard absolutely loads about it. There are some people out there, who visit Bennett forums, and can quote every line in the film constantly. Every day in fact. It's getting to the point where I can finish the quotes. And I don't want to be that sad. But I still hadn't seen the movie. Until he got the blu ray.

There's not much of a storyline to Commando. It's your typical Arnie fare, with plenty of muscle, plenty of brilliant one liners (especially from Bennett), lots of deaths, and a very young Alyssa Milano. Does it get any better than this? (Yes, add a tall as he is wide Danny DeVito and I'm as happy as a pig in manure.)

Commando starts with a bang, some nice happy father/daughter scenes between Arnie & Alyssa, and there's plenty of action after that. And I mean plenty of action. Bennett is played by camp Freddie Mercury lookalike Vernon Wells, and I'm wondering how on earth any of the crew managed not to laugh during any of his scenes. It freaked me out a couple of times, he's so over the top in some scenes and some of his lines are unintentionally hilarious and have developed a small cult following online. (There are actually websites devoted to this guy.)

I started laughing as soon as Alyssa appeared on screen. She looks exactly the same as she does these days, hair's the same etc, but just a bit older, and more polished. And slightly taller, but she's not that tall to begin with (5foot 2, and she's still taller than me.) She's such a little cutie in the movie even if she is wearing DUNGAREES and even she manages to pull it off.

I was thoroughly impressed with Commando, and it looked amazing in high definition. Arnie can do no wrong in my opinion (yes, even in Twins, BRILLIANT movie) and maybe now I'm in the mood to re-watch all his films. Purely for the movies of course, not for the muscle at all.

This is 80's shoot 'em up heroics at their best. Arnie is perfect as a one man army in this nun blasting piece of action cinema. It's daft but superb fun.
