I remember seeing this when this first came out and was disappointed after seeing it. but after seeing this on tv later, i found it quite enjoyable.
i think the biggest problem this movie encountered the first time around was that it was marketed as a big budget action movie, so that everyone walking into it expecting it to be such was disappointed. if you walk into it knowing what it really was: a satire of the 80s-early 90s action blockbusters, then it becomes enjoyable. Arnold making fun of himself was pretty damn hilarious, along with all the action cliches at the time. the only real complaint was the run time. it was pretty long and could have shaved off 10 to 20 minutes, but otherwise very enjoyable and worth watching again with open eyes.
