Total classic. Charlton Heston rules. Didn’t think Balder, a man who’s taste is so poor that he would rather watch a Sharknado sequel over Commando, would think of such a great movie. |

I love Charlton Heston movies. Many of them are true masterpieces.

I was afraid the original wouldn't hold up as well as people would have me believe, but it blew me away regardless of me being spoiled the ending. It's a fantastic movie, and I doubt any of the sequels will overcome it. The first sequel was utter garbage, and so far the only sequel I've watched. What I love the most in this movie is how great the costumes are and how great lead Charlton Heston is.

Total classic. Charlton Heston rules. Didn’t think Balder , a man who’s taste is so poor that he would rather watch a Sharknado sequel over Commando, would think of such a great movie. It's impossible to forgive a man who watches multiple Sharknado movies before Commando. ... But Planet of the Apes is good, can't deny it. |

Just to update you guys since you're so obsessed with me watching Sharknado movies; the 5th Sharknado movie got on Netflix and I watched it the other day. |

I mean, dude, I’ll give you props for this classic, but watching Sharknado 5 over Commando, or Stallone Cobra, or really just about anything not just brings shame to you, but brings shame to your family as well. You have lost face. |

What I love the most in this movie is how great the costumes are and how great lead Charlton Heston is. The next sequel is much better and a very fine movie, though certainly not even close to be as good as the original. I do recommend watching it and then ignoring all the other movies (though I haven't watched the new ones, so I can't comment on those). Edit: To me, the classic series goes like this: 1-------3----4-5-2. |

This movie touched on a lot of things still present today, like racism, government interference and the religion vs. science debate. It's a little deeper than most other sci-fi things of the time, I think.
THIS movie is a masterpiece, but the others after it haven't aged all that well. As a series, I prefer the reboot.

The ending still holds up after all these years.

Hey Balder, how do people in Norway feel about George Costanza? |
