    Of all the James Cameron movies I've watched, this was the only movie that I haven't even seen until today, I've finally watched it on video and boy did I love it. Avatar, Terminators 1 and 2 and Titanic were such great hits, so this movie is my favorite Cameron movie as well. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Arnold, Jamie Lee-Curtis, Tia Carrere, and Bill Paxton were amazing, The action sequences and the comedy were the best moments, and the "You're Fired!" quote was also the best moment in this movie. James Cameron, as a huge fan of yours, you are good at everything! True Lies deserves an entertaining 8/10 in my honest opinion for its unique things.… Expand

    Two enjoyable movies in one...high-budget action and the grimmest of romatic comedy, fitting together quite nicely. Its story isn't groundbreaking or deep, but it's so entertaining, it's hard to resist, despite pacing that's a tad bit uneven.

    Usual Arnold movie. The aeroplane fight in the end is fantastic. But Arnold has no novel action sequences. All of these are similar to those of Terminator series. But Arnold rocks! Jamie Lee Curtis is good. But the violence is usual. I wonder why it was rated "R".

    Arnold's worst acting, worst role, with great action being ruined by that.

    The catch is, once you get past the stunning special effects and the mind-numbing stuntwork, there's not all that much there.

    The director, James Cameron, is a master of action (he worked with Schwarzenegger on "Terminator 2"), and when he's doing his thing, no one does it better.

    One of the best things about True Lies is that it's genuinely funny.
