I can see why film critics panned this movie.  When has a critic ever given a straight up action movie a good review?  However, the fans all seemed to not like it either.  Why is that?  This is a very entertaining  movie!  The classic cheesy Arnold one-liners are there, but it's done on  purpose...it's part of the Jack Slater character.  The action is great and  the comedy is just right for an Arnold flick, although there's a bigger  focus on it than most of his other action flicks.  Not only that, but, to  go with the cheesy one-liners is a stereotypical, nearly one dimensional  villain.  This is not a negative...it fits right in with the feel of the  movie.
