I'll confess that when I saw "Last Action Hero" in the theater, I hated it. It may have been because my expectation were for a shoot-'em up action flick, and as the film played out, I realized it was a comedy taking jabs at what was then my teenage self's favorite genre, I was irritated. More likely, it was because my brother and I went to see this at it's Midnight opening, and I was simply tired and cranky by the time the film started playing?! Either way, it wasn't a movie I revisited for quite some time. Flash ahead a few years, and I see it on the shelf at Blockbuster (remember those?...there's one in this movie even!) and decide to give it another viewing. Upon second viewing, I enjoyed the movie much more, and now it stands right up there with some of Schwarzenegger's best films.
