The Last Action Hero is not funny enough for a comedy and not action-packed enough for an action movie. If this film had any potential, the filmmakers drowned it in an exorbitant running time. There are some good scenes, but far from enough in those more than two hours.

A similar commercial and narrative romp as True Lies would be one year later, just a class worse entertainment. This film really shows that no expense was spared, it has lavish production design, a great cast, thrilling explosions, fancy locations (the Hyatt) and grand action. But it arrived at the cinemas at the wrong time (competition) and it is not as entertaining, thrilling, and original as it may seem, so it became a relative failure that didn't catch on as expected. Although the director is a master of action films, he always falls a bit short when it comes to intimacy and personal connections among characters, and once the shooting stops, it's quite boring. There are several excellent jokes, quips, and scenes, and a surprisingly good Arnold, but otherwise it’s too long and quite creaky.

Once upon a time, I really liked this movie and after years, when I finally got to watch it again, I have to admit that nothing has changed about how much I like it. It is still a great film with excellent humor, mainly connected to Arnold making fun of himself. And it works. Just like the action scenes work.
