Rotten
The weaponry is so ridiculously bountiful that the movie must be a defense against something. But it's just another lousy action movie. And for more than an hour, it's less than that.
Wesley Morris, Grantland

The movie's tongue in cheek humor will buy off most of the target audience. And Arnie? He's indestructible.

Schwarzenegger can still hold the screen, but these days he grinds through his one-liners like a truck driver taking a steep hill ...

Rotten
The result is diverting enough for a low-expectations Friday night, but the ingredients were in place for something more.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
Not the most iconic choice for Schwarzenegger to announce that he's back, but not one that's completely prefab, either.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe
