The Ultimate Weapon

No, this isn't a very artistic movie. Yes, you've seen the story before. No, the actors aren't especially good. But yes. There is action. This is a good action movie. Just like they was made in the eighties. Big guns, explosions, ex C.I.A agents taking out entire armies on their own and non-stop action. If you want the kind of action you remember from the good old Arnold movies you have just found it here. Hulk Hogan is awesome and he really fills a role that could be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is probably the last of the good "one man must fight an entire army to get to the bad guy and save his country/daughter" movies. A perfect movies for a boys night with beer and chips

this truly the best movie that hogan has ever been in.after seeing his other movies where he was a nice guy.its a shock to hear him say some very unhogan like words.it was cool to see him kill a dozen or so people with guns and explosives.and carl marotte is perfect as his partner and the comic relief.get this there is only 2 explosions which is rare for an action flick.he also acts very human like in that he lets his emotions get the best of him when he goes after the guy who tried to rape his daughter.this movie does not have the best plot.but its better than santa with muscles but then again any movie is better than that one.i suggest you see this one if you are lover of action flicks or a hulkamaniac

Although there is plot and I did finish it, it's still a bad movie. It's not even so bad it's good territory. No Holds Barred is the one you should have watched instead! This would be Hulk's 9th movie as a leading actor. You'd think he would have improved a bit but nope! Nothing original happens in this, you name the movie cliche it happens. The casting kind of works but the fact there are "IRA" members without thick Irish accents kind of removes some immersion. Hulk's sidekick reminds me of the movie Steven Seagal did called "Code Of Honor" in 2016 with Craig Sheffer.

The only highlight to this movie is where it becomes Rambo 1 where John Rambo is in the woods and a scene involving a motorcycle and a land mine of some sort.

Is this the worst movie a famous wrestler or fighter is in? No, that so far goes to a movie Tito Ortiz did called "Operation Black Ops" from 2023.

Hulk's hair style in this is atrocious. I understand he's some sort of soldier. I honestly didn't watch it enough to care and this is why he didn't have his signature bright colored bandana and skullet but the whole time I was in awe like the movies Jason Statham has where the makeup department put hair on his head.

This is one of those movies you could have on in the background and only take the odd glance or two at it and you'll do fine. This isn't a story of redemption, Hulk doesn't get captured or anything to give his character a third dimension. Nothing. You might as well watch a movie with The Rock or real actors like Steven Seagal or a newer JCVD movie instead.

How these pieces of junk get funded for making is way beyond reason. How they get released for viewing is even more puzzling. Hulk fan or not this is not entertainment. I sincerely hope no one actually went to the cinema and paid good money to view this horrid piece of crap !

Often imitated, but never duplicated, this is the movie that started it all - the bombshell that sparked a revolution in action movies that continues unabated to this day. As soon as it was released you knew that no action movie could ever be the same, and indeed, the influence of "the Ultimate Weapon" will probably be felt 50 years hence. Gone are the days when a top grossing action flick could expect to get by on marginal acting, low brow humor, a few car chases and exposed breasts, some brief colloquial dialog occasionally interrupting the constant bombardment of seizure inducing special effects. "The ultimate weapon" has changed the landscape forever. So much more is demanded now. Gone are the flat, one dimensional action heroes, little more than walking assortments of infantile one-liners and agonizing clichés. Enter Ben Cutter: a character so psychologically complex, affecting emotional states so vivid and true to life, that he seems almost to jump out of the screen and merge seamlessly into the viewers surroundings. He has a tangible, corporeal presence that the audience finds difficult to shake off even after the movie has ended. The framework of this movie is disarmingly simple. The plot seems to be yet another rehash of the same tired action formulas from decades past. But the movie manages to invest all these familiar thematic elements with an energy and aura all its own, something so difficult to describe and awe inspiring to behold, that no review can claim to do it justice. The truth is I can't really pin down what makes this movie so great. I'm able to discuss plenty of other great films with others, but when "the Ultimate Weapon" comes up an inexplicable silence falls on the conversation, and all that remains is certain knowing and strangely communicative glances between all involved that seem to convey a common understanding, wordless and enigmatic, between those who have had the privilege of witnessing this movie.
