Last Action Hero, in my opinion, deserves much more respect than it has been given and I am going to stand up for it here. The film has a good story, very funny moments, and great action sequences, and a fantastic cast! What is there not to like here? Ok, some of the comedy scenes are overdone and the ending is too much of a tonal shift from the rest of the film, but these are minor flaws in a very enjoyable couple of hours. If you have never seen the film, dont allow its reputation to proceed it and give it a go. It really is better than you have heard.
As for the disc, the picture and sound are both well above average, and surprisingly impressive for a film that is now 16 years old, although there is a criminal lack of extras here. Bearing in mind the treatment the film has had over the years, I cannot imagine a double dip ever appearing so I have no hesitation in recommending this. If one person discovers an underrated film from reading this review, then I will be happy.
