    I think Last Action Hero is an overall good movie with some flaws.

    It takes a little too long to get going, the bit at the front that mostly establishes that his life is kind of dull and he prefers to go to the movies drags a bit. They play the “BECAUSE THIS IS A MOVIE” note a little too often and Slater just outright doesn’t believe him for a little too long, he should have started to buy it before they go out into the real world. And the ending kind of just putters out? The bits where it’s a send-up of action flicks is really fun and it’s worth seeing for that, though I think True Lies is a better loving send-up of action flicks.

      Haha, we need to open source movies before production. Put the script on GitHub and check those pull requests!

        Lol, some movies only back a small change to be improved. Take Passengers as an example, simply have Jennifer Lawrence choose to wake a passenger and cut there. None of the passengers waking up to everything bring all green crap

        Man, if the Internet has taught me anything via The Internet Plays Pokemon, Arnie wouldn’t make it past the first scene.
