The Last Action Hero

THE LAST ACTION HERO (1993) - Feb. 25, 2010 (Second Viewing)
Though not exactly the underrated gem I rememebered it being, this was a decent enough film about a boy who winds up getting sucked into the world of his favourite action hero.  Though the film is a sometimes amusing send-up of Hollywood action movies, it's also an action film itself, and that's one of the main problems -- the action just isn't all that good, and it is quite plentiful.  It's over-the-top and, for the most part, not particularly exciting.  The film is also *way* overlong at over two hours, and definitely feels it.  Arnie is quite good though, not surprisingly.  **1/2
