Suburban Commando Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Eric Stevenson This is the first and hopefully only movie I've ever seen that stars Hulk Hogan. There actually was at one point where I was into professional wrestling, but that was a long time ago. I even recently looked at a popular lengthy clip on YouTube. I guess pro wrestling for me is pretty cheesy and corny. Wow, that's tasty! Well, this movie ended up giving me something like that. It features Hulk Hogan as an alien warrior who comes to Earth to meet up with Christopher Lloyd to stay away from bounty hunters. The acting is pretty bad and there's really nothing unique about the film at all.There's a couple of funny lines in there, but definitely not enough for a full movie. I never realized how prolific Christopher Lloyd was. I really hope he's not a guy who's mostly motivated by money. I think this could have been funny and entertaining if it was like a short film or possibly a sketch. That's really all the time you need to tell a story like this. And yes, it was interesting to find out the origin of the Nostalgia Critic's "I was frozen today!" line. He should use that more. The pacing is poor and it's not very rewarding. *1/2
Elewis1195 Hulk isn't a great actor but this one, where he kind of makes fun of himself and nothing in the movie is taken seriously, it actually works. It's formula, corny, cartoonish silliness but watchable if you're in the mood for something light. Doc Brown is believable and entertaining enough as the stiff, frightened accountant who befriends the Hulkster, who's an inter-galactic hero who needs to "lay low" in suburbia, Earth for a while. The Undertaker Mark Calaway has a clever little part in this film too. Overall a fun little romp.Much better film than no holds barred, or, Hancock for that matter, but no Oscars in this one.
Derrick_Cannon This was cheesy maybe even corny, but it was also enjoyable. This was one of the first movies I ever saw on video so this brings back memories for me. Hulk Hogan may not have had an acting career similar to the Rock's, but in all fairness Hogan is the prototype that all wrestlers turned actors are judged. I won't get into that as I'd much rather discuss it when I review Rocky Three sometime next year. On to Suburban Commando Shep Ramsay(Hogan) is an intergalactic warrior currently battling the forces of the evil General Zuiter. In the midst of this battle he ends up blowing the power in his space ship. He then ends up on "Earth" a planet he'd much rather avoid. Elsewhere Charlie Wilcox(played by Christopher Lloyd is struggling with his job. His wife asks him to get a raise but Charlie just does not have the guts to do it at this point. Shep Ramsay lands and while observing the town spots a sign that says apartment for rent. It just so happens that the apartment is Charlie Wilcox's Tool Shed(or lack thereof). Charlie views Ramsey as a threat and tries to kick him out, but before getting the chance Shep helps the Wilcox family with their everyday obstacle. Charlie later blasts a wall that gives Zuiter and his crew directions to Hogan's whereabouts. If anyone ever wondered where the Undertaker gave his first major appearance this film was it. I won't spoil the finish but the bonds of Shep and Ramsey become greater and greater as the movie goes on. This film is what any Hogan movie should have been, enjoyable, funny, and sometimes even witty. I'll give it a six because it did reek of Campiness but the campiness worked in this type of movie.
Scarfacefan522 Now granted, Hulk Hogan hasn't been a great action hero, let alone a terrific actor, but you have to admit that this film does have it's funny moments. Christopher Lloyd adds most of the humor of the film, and indeed if it was just Hogan as the "main star" i seriously doubt this film would be anywhere near decent...also look for a cameo of Mark Callaway (aka The Undertaker)as one of the Bounty Hunters
