I saw it a couple of days ago and among other things that I found
disappointing was the attempt by Arnold to borrow the revisionist
crown from Clint and 'soften' (which in tough-guy talk is the same
as "kill") the action-hero motif. Maybe Clint can 'kill' the man
with no-name Western (since nobody is making WEsterns anymore) and
I suppose with Stallone's action career hanging by threads there is
an opportunity to 'revise' the action hero, I really don't think it
will take the way Clint's efforts should
 
Anybody else see these flicks?
 
BTW If you haven't seen "Jurassic Park" I won't give away
the plot but the Dinosaurs have the best lines!
