75May prove too dark to make the list of Schwarzenegger's biggest hits. But the movie suggests the actor still has a lot to offer -- and he's willing to take some chances, too. Welcome back, Arnold.
-
75A devilishly fun blow-em-up that pits The Terminator vs. The Fallen One.
-
67A credible action spectacular.
-
63Arnold has a gem for the third millennium in End of Days.
-
60For the most part it's a blast.
-
60It's good to see Schwarzenegger doing his thing again after what, for him, was a long sabbatical.
-
58Frequently silly, yet eminently more watchable than such leaden Schwarzenegger efforts as ''Eraser.''
-
50There are forces here you couldn't possibly comprehend...You can say that again.
-
50An overblown, overspectacular, oversold movie without an original idea in its head.
-
50A hokey, overblown and deeply unsatisfying movie.
-
50Not a campy film, but it revels in extremes, and has the same sort of appeal.
-
50Beginnings don't come much more lurid than this, and the rest of End of Days never quite reaches this level of flat-out wildness again.
-
50It's not as cool as it sounds.
-
50Peter Hyams, a pretty good cinematographer but a mediocre director, goes to work on a script by Andrew W. Marlowe that's designed to carry us from one bit of hyperbole to the next.
-
40Lacks a sense of bone-chilling dread.
-
40Nothing worse than a silly movie that takes itself seriously, that bores us to death while we wait for the finale that comes too late.
-
Half-baked.
-
38The actors take a back seat to computer-generated demonic images and apocalyptic special effects.
-
38It seems endless. It's also unusually crude and stupid, even for an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
-
33Best laugh at the movies all autumn.
-
30A dud.
-
3085 percent explosions and editing idiocy (a window can't break without director Peter Hyams cutting between five different angles) and 15 percent Arnold trying to grow a third dimension. Seeing him try for "sad" is like watching a dog try to talk.
-
30Drab and depressing.
-
30Two ridiculous blood-soaked hours.
-
30All fire-and-brimstone bunk, a tired compendium of involuntary crucifixions, grim messages carved into human flesh, fly buzzings, ominous choral chants on the soundtrack and at least one head twisting.
-
25Too bad (Arnold) can't save the movie from it's superstitious clap-trap, sadistic violence, and sheer silliness.
-
25It's brain-dead start to finish.
-
25The movie equivalent of the fruitcake you get every year from the folks back home. It's brick-heavy and full of nasty bits you don't want to put in your mouth, lovingly wrapped in pink cellophane.
-
20Full of sound and fury, signifying absolutely nothing, End of Days is the loudest and least of the year's end-of-the-world movies.
-
18Such a witless, bombastic, by-the-numbers hunk of millennial hooey it made me nostalgic for Commando. This one throws in every hoary hellfire cliché.
-
12I do have one overpowering Y2K fear: that Hollywood will keep belching out movies as excruciatingly dull, brutal, mindless and overlong as End of Days.
-
0Idiotic, ugly and ridiculous.
-
0We're treated to such a broad panoply of godawful dialogue, righteously shoddy acting, and, worst of all for an action blockbuster of this sort, subpar effects work, that's it's all you can do not to giggle helplessly.
