Schwartzenegger IS the King

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2000)

Like most of Arnie's movies, this one is extremely entertaining. It's a brainless film, with logic leaps that defy imagination, and with Arnie's usual No-I'm-not-a-300-pound-austrian-at-all-acting and with glitches and goofs that only exist in action movies. But it is oh so enjoyable, mostly because the special effects are quite nice - especially the one involving Arnie's nose - and because of the Martian scenery.
It's also good to see some actors come out of the darkness for a bit. Especially Michael Ironside, who I have had a fondness for ever since the days of "V". Sharon Stone wasn't all too known back then, so she gets to show some of her charms as well.
There is nothing like a mindless sci-fi-action flick to highten your mood one soggy evening. This one in particular is a great personal ice breaker.
