Michael Sragow The Atlantic You can get carried along by the exuberance and likability of Remo: The Adventure Begins, only to have the despair of the pop mythology underneath it catch up with you the morning after. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Paul Attanasio Washington Post ... just tell me when it ends. Jan 4, 2018 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A missed-opportunity exercise that might as well have been called Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins... and Ends. Rated: 2/4 Feb 19, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Over and over again he's caught in a jam that could be resolved by a simple firearm, but he insists on remaining stupidly unarmed. Rated: 4/10 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Tom Long Santa Cruz Sentinel Need a tough guy? Call the "Commando." Forget "Remo." Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse Remo Williams is one of the most outright enjoyable action adventure films to ever come out of the 1980s, science and logic be damned.

Audience Member It’s a cheesy 1985 action movie. Pretty dang fun, I really like the way Chiun ran on water at the end. That was cool I think. Other than that, not much else to say, not gonna change your life or anything and that’s ok. 3/5 stars. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Cookie M Watched this when it originally came out, watched it again, in a day where cgi is the majority of the movie, refreshing to see a movie holding by itself. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Captain T Okay Remo is a bit outdated, a little corny, not for the safe place types dialogs and the sound! Almost hurts my ears. But other than that, it is a movie that gave a few laughs and made me miss the free 80s Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Dark M I'll take watching this over and over to watching any of the MCU movies any day. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/22 Full Review shoeless j Cult classic. Part of HBO's OG library. Joel Grey is great. Was supposed to be a mega franchise. For the most part, this hero's origin popcorn movie works. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review christopher c. m It's exciting but it does drag in places, it's way better than the critics said. The stunts are impressive and most of the characters are cool. Doing research for this review I can see one of the biggest problem, besides the Asian character of Chiun was a stereotype marital arts master trope but I didn't realized until now that it was white actor and singer Joel Grey in yellow face. Not sure in 1986 they couldn't hire an Asian actor to play an Asian character, I thought we were past that. But I still like it as a problematic but still good classic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
