Awesome!

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2001)

This movie was awesome stuff man! I really liked the special effects, makeup and action. All of it was a good mix. Oh and also humor. You need humor in these types of films or else u get ugly films with unsympathetic characters in a film that takes itself too seriously. This however isnt one of those. It's just good entertainment. Some of Arnold's one-liners he spoke well. One scene ie: Some mutant Arnold's Quaid character runs into: You have alot of guts showing your face around here. Arnold's Quaid: Look who's talking. I think that line is SO hilarious. I laugh at it every time and often quote it to friends. You see he is talking to some scarred-faced-loookin mutant about his looks.
Over all this movie rocked. But unlike what others say about his film carreer declining after this one, I dont think so. Ok so True Lies had its faults, but very few movies don't. The acton scenes and humor made up for a slow and somewhat odd middle. Even though some may disagree with what I am about to say, The first The Terminator may have even had its faults in there. Even though it was a classic to be sure, the budget sort of gave it slightly less potential then it could have had, but it still rocked despite this. Eraser was actually pretty good not as good as Total Recal or Terminator, but it was beter than Commando. Twins was probably his best try at a comedic role/film. Last action hero pretty much was bad but it still wasn't bottom of the barrel. It actually had potential. Batman&Robin may very well has been his worst. I haven't seen the 6th Day so...I'll see it on video, no big deal.
Total Recall was and still is a good film to watch for pure entertainment value, with some nice sci-fi elements peppered in there.
