Andre Santamaria's Reviews
A fun but stupid movie from a simpler time.
Back when Will Ferrell was still funny, he starred in a series of simple but irreverent comedies, and this is one of them.

A silly but fun comedy movie.
This is an enjoyable but rather silly comedy. Nevertheless it’s worth a watch, if for no other reason than the fact that several of its jokes would get it cancelled today, if anyone even dared to attempt a real comedy film these days that is.

I wanted to like this… but no.
It’s official - Star Wars is dead. Just stick to the first three films, and you’ll love Star Wars, but this film is the epitome of everything that has gone wrong with modern cinema. It’s as if the writers and the director took pleasure in debasing the old characters and in pushing as much woke goop as possible. Don’t waste your money on this garbage.

This is a real gem.
Not only is this movie an entertaining dystopian action movie, it’s actively anti woke!
In addition to its bumper to bumper action sequences, this film is chalk full of anti political correctness humour.

A great sci fi / dystopian classic!
Stallone plays a judge/executioner/police man in a dystopian hellscape. It’s a good action movie with an engaging story.

A far more intelligent film than it appears to be.
This movie seems to be just a fun sci fi action flick at first glance. Human soldiers fight hordes of massive insects on distant worlds. But wait, there’s more!
Not only is the setting an over-the-top dystopia, but the entire film is laden with satire aiming at the eternal wars and the military industrial complex in the USA. It’s a truly brilliant film if viewed in its fullest context, but the greatness of it lies in the fact that despite its message, it is a truly enjoyable sci fi action movie as well. It works on both levels.

Vintage Arnold Schwarzenegger killing bad guys.
This is a great movie. A bit dates of course, but designed for nothing more than your entertainment, the way movies always used to be! Arnold Schwarzenegger is a hulking barbarian in a fantasy type of realm sans the Tolkien style fantasy creatures; just human on human sword play mixed with some light plot and dialogue. An action classic!

Good Israeli action show.
An Israeli anti terror unit takes the fight to the bad guys. Good action and a relatively good series of sub-plot lines that flesh out the lives of the team.

A true classic.
This film is brilliantly acted and well executed on all levels. It holds up extremely well. No CGI, though to be fair it predates widespread CGI. No wokeness. Just great acting and a good story.

If not for season 2, this would be a great show.
Season 2 is a bad joke. The action takes place in Venezuela, which is astonishingly portrayed as a right wing authoritarian country! Their leader might as well have been wearing a Maga hat; the Venezuelan president is a caricature, a leftist caricature of the right. It’s absurd, not only because it reveals the simplicity and the threadbare logic of leftism by virtue of the asininity of their view of what the ‘right’ is, but especially because the president of Venezuela is in fact a far-left dictator!
