Classic Schwarzenegger
by scifidude79 (5 out of 5 stars)

This movie is, by far, one of Schwarzenegger's best films. It's right up there with Conan the Barbarian and the first two Terminator films. I remember having this on VHS back in the day, but I was surprised to find I didn't have it on DVD or Blu-Ray. So, I corrected that oversight. The movie itself is pure gold. Schwarzenegger brings his usual arsenal of muscles, guns, explosives and one liners to the table. When John Matrix's (Schwarzenegger) daughter (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped, he takes on a group of goons and a literal army to get her back. At the head of it all is a would be dictator (Dan Hedaya) from Val Verde, that fictional South American nation from so many Fox films, and a former ally of Matrix. The movie is pure '80s, with cheesy (in a good way) dialog full of fun one liners, and the action is way over the top. Basically, this is the kind of movie Schwarzenegger was born to be in. It's no surprise this movie made a lot of money at the box office (grossed over $57 million on an estimated $10 million budget) and has become a cult classic, despite poor critical reviews. Shows what film critics know. The Blu-Ray is great, great picture and sound. The only disappointment is a lack of special features. But, it was still a great buy and a movie I'll watch many times.

Commando is peak Schwarzenegger
by SS77 (5 out of 5 stars)

Commando is way over the top it doesn't exactly live in reality.... but it's a load of fun that shouldn't be missed. In fact, I'd say it's even more enjoyable than other beloved Arnie flicks like Terminator and T2: Judgement Day. Arnie and Rae Dawn Chong make a surprisingly great team throughout the movie. On top of all the action, Arnie manages to throw in some comedy with some fun one liners like "Don't disturb my friend. He's dead tired," uttered shortly after killing a man. The Blu-Ray looks and sounds good for a 30+ year old movie, but the lack of extras beyond a trailer is disappointing. Still highly recommended on the strength of the film and a bargain price.

Sully, this is my weak arm.
by M. 9 Fingers (4 out of 5 stars)

There sure are a lot of good lines in this movie that can be repeated ad nauseum to your friends for weeks following a viewing of this classic action film. If you really love paper thin plots, super unrealistic videogame-worthy shootouts and a near total lack of even the illusion of acting talent, then this movie is a must view for you. Don't get me wring, I liked this movie in the 80s and I like it still today, but I question if anyone that doesn't have a nostalgic background with this film would find it as funny and amusing as I do.

I know that this is a classic action film that was one of only a few that really defined this genre thirty years ago, but I just couldn't give it all 5 stars. It is pretty bad. . . .

problems with Prime
by alexander erkiletian (1 out of 5 stars)
January 21, 2019

There are two movies so far whereby I felt that Prime video could have made things more clear. For example in the case of Commando, I would have liked very much to know prior to my purchasing it that there was an available directors cut of the movie. I found out after the fact and purchased the directors cut. In effect I bought the movie twice when I only would have purchased the one version. I hope that Prime vide will find a way to make the existence of other video options more clear to the buying public and If anyone there at Amazon could see their way to removing this version of commando from my library and refunding me the money I would be most grateful.

The first shot we see of Arnold in this movie is his massive bicep carrying a fallen tree. Among all his movies, this one has Arnold's highest body count, and maybe his best one-liners. It's like an '80s action movie that somehow feels like an homage to '80s action movies. If you like Arnold, this one belongs in your collection--it's essential, and perfect when you need to "blow off some steam."

Classic Schwarzenegger, but...
by Rich Whitcomb ♿ (5 out of 5 stars)

Commando is a great classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie with lots of action and good one liners throughout the movie encase you haven't seen it. The only thing I was bummed about with this movie is that it's definitely not recorded in HD. The picture is just as grainy as the regular DVD. If you want to save a few dollars then you should buy the regular DVD unless you absolutely need it on Blu-ray. I love the movie and recommend it to everybody who loves a really good mindless action movie, but it's definitely not worth owning on Blu-ray if you can save some money buying the original.

A solid action film! Don't take this movie to seriously and you'll have a great time.

I have finally got to see this movie. And I see why this film has all the hype! If you are an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan or a fan of action movies in general, then this is a must see. This movie has a bit of the 80's cheesiness, but it does it so well.

Defiantly a good movie to watch with friends!

Great Gubernator Movie
by RenaissanceMan (5 out of 5 stars)
February 22, 2009

This movie featured Arnold Schwarzeneggennegger (ARNOLD!) in prime shape. The plot is simple and is a great vehicle for what's to come (you know what that is right? this is an Arnold Movie).

Arnold is a retired Super Commando raising a daughter as a single parent (the daughter is played nicely by a toddler Alyssa Milano). Daughter is kidnapped and Arnold is ordered to go do some bad things for the bad guys who kidnapped his daughter. Arnold decides to go after the bad guys instead.

As a parent, I would probably turn heaven and earth upside down and as the song goes would willingly march into hell for my little girl. Imagine a mad Arnold with lots of guns, super soldier training, lots of big guns, grenades, planes, porsche cars, pretty ladies, memorable bad guys -- yeah you get the picture.

This movie was wonderfully executed (yes Arnold speaks like he has marlbes in his mouth) but so what, the guy is great and does a great job kicking butt. Intellectually, you won't be stimulated much by this movie but the plot can at least be followed and holds together which is more than can be said for some recent movies.

Go hang your brain at the door, and have some fun - this one is good.

Arnold rocks!
by Dave T. (5 out of 5 stars)

*I like anything that Arnold Schwarzenegger is in.

Rae Dawn Chong is really awesome in this movie too.
I've seen it before, but don'tremember that much of it.
I remember when Matrix was holding this bad guy over the edge of a building, and and the bad guy sais: "you said you were going to kill me last, right?" Then he lets him fall to his death.
Back on the ground, when asked "what happened to Sully?" He replied "I let him go!"
I'm pretty sure that's the same movie.
