->''"''True Lies'' can't seem to decide of it's an overblown, yet serious action movie or if it's a straight-up parody. It's much more convincing with the former, because Creator/JamesCameron has his talents, but writing and directing comedy isn't one of them."''

->''"To me, this feels as if I've been watching an episode of...I don't know... Series/TwentyFour in which [[PoliticalCartoons Steve Bell]]'s monkey version of [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush George Bush]] is having high level discussions with [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent David Palmer]]. (...) (I)f it turned out that the writers thought that a cartoon chimpanzee fitted in perfectly well with 24 (...) then you'd probably stop watching. Particularly if the director [[DearNegativeReader said]]: "Oh, [[MoffsLaw what does it matter]] if one character is realistic and the other is a cartoon monkey.

->''"When a suave British secret agent, who's definitely not Franchise/JamesBond, trains a young protege to definitely not become the next James Bond, supervised by an old authority figure who's definitely not M, and helped by a gadget wizard who's definitely not Q, to fight a bald super-villain in a mountain lair who's definitely not Blofeld, the only way to convince you that you're not watching an actual James Bond movie is to constantly remind you that you're not."''

->"[Director John] [=McTiernan=] never seems comfortable with the film’s satirical elements, so he delivers what he imagines audiences want: a straightforward [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Schwarzenegger]] vehicle that’s maybe 15 percent more knowing, comic, and self-referential than its star’s usual blood-splattered fare. … it’s a “feathered fish” that doesn’t quite belong in the action or comedy realm."
