This feature stands the test of time and was just as enjoyable on my second viewing. The CGI effects weren't horribly outdated by current standards [but then I still find the original "Day the Earth Stood Still" special effects just fine] and still worked. The likable cast served up a rousing tale of a repelled space invasion with an uplifting ending!

Another overly long Tarantino film where he takes entirely too much time dwelling on a single point. The upside is that when the action starts this plays to the advantage of the viewer. The trend to have "MTV" cuts in action shots has made it impossible for a viewer to even SEE what's going on. The "T" man continues to get enhanced performances from his actors, knows his camera angles and clearly loves movies. The use of unnecessary language for the sake of saying it makes this unwatchable to children {for any responsible adult} but again, as an adult I appreciated the costuming, mood, cinematography and enthusiasm the "T" man still has after so many features. Take out the language, thirty minutes of meandering camera on drawn out scenes and it was an interesting view.

It doesn't get any better than this! The Duke and Dean Martin (in one of his last roles where he actually tried to be a serious actor). Ricky Nelson was thrown into the deep end of movie making surrounded by those two and three-time Academy Award winner (AND scene-stealer) Walter Brennan and he still had the moxie to hang on for the ride. It didn't hurt to have Angie Dickenson on board as well but unlike other western female leads, she WASN'T inconsequential to the story! She moved fluidly through the movie to create thunderous and tender moments for the Duke and humorous ones for Dean. Her contribution (with Nelson) was that of exposition and they did so without bogging down the film. The sing-a-long in the jail was the cherry on the top and the moments of REAL friendship that showed through made this the ultimate "buddy film". With not one contrived scene, Howard Hawks produced and directed a "shoot 'em up" western film so good it spawned at least three remakes I know of (Rio Lobo, El Dorado, and Assault on Precinct 13!). The question below asks if I would recommend this to a friend... I GOT IT FOR A FRIEND!
What's great about it: The 3D jungle, gunfire, and pacing keeps you on the edge of your seat.
What's not so great: The lackluster acting of the brawny co-stars drags it down some.
Arnie and his squad of experts go into a jungle to extract a downed helicopter full of high level folks and find an alien "hunter" who has come to earth to bag his limit of human skulls. In 3D, you can taste the sweat of these guys as they fall one by one to the skilled hunter. Will Arnie survive? That is not a given in this feature by the same guy who gave us "Die Hard" and "The 13th Warrior".
