An average movie

To be honest, I always thought that the damned thing looked really lame but I thought I should give it a try anyway. Well, I have to admit it, even though I didn’t care much about the damned thing, I turned out to be much better than I expected. First of all, after ‘The Terminator’ but before ‘Aliens’, James Cameron did write the screenplay for this movie but it was apparently vastly changed by Sylvester Stallone afterwards. Anyway,  it was basically a brainless action movie which was too bad because the first instalment was actually rather thoughtful. Still, I have to admit that the damned thing was sometimes quite entertaining, at least  for the most part of it. What really bugged me was that even though Stallone was pretty badass, I thought that his acting was seriously below average. Above all, I thought that the ending was just really cringe-inducing to behold.  Indeed, it was much too patriotic for my taste and it kind of ruined the whole thing for me. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really work for me, if you love this kind of big cheesy action movies from the 80’s, you may end up enjoying this one.
