I paused several times during this, but I don't see myself doing that in the future.

"What the hell even killed him? Is watching Arnold do drama really that bad?"

HAHA, best line of the whole video!

I also paused several times, but I had to use the bathroom after eating a big bowel of oatmeal. I had my reasons.

Anyway, I actually enjoyed this film and still do. There is indeed an excessive amount of dialogue and not enough action scenes that causes the film to be needlessly 2 hours long, which is a good point on the Critic's part. However, most of the interaction between the main and minor characters (but not all) is entertaining in my opinion. That scene with the main villain, Arnold, the kid, and those dogs at the big mansion didn't bore me at all, for instance. It was effectively humorous and allowed us to see more of the enemy who would become a greater threat near the end of the film.

But, that's just me. It was a very funny review nonetheless, even if I did like the movie. Last Action Hero is silly and nonsensical at times, but it intends to do that because it serves as a satire of the action genre. I'd call it a cult classic.
