Arnold v Lucifer should have produced a better movie. Has some minor pleasures, like Kevin Pollak as Arnie's buddie. The film is awfully inconsistent with Lucifer's powers as well. One moment, he can blow up a restaurant with the shrug of his shoulders and then tossed out a window to crash into onto a car roof. Arnold actually does alright as the stereotypical burnt out alcoholic cop who lost his family. Jesus, Marge! What the fuck?

A movie that takes itself way too seriously. Arnold vs. Lucifer is not a serious dramatic film, it should have been an all out action movie.

It may be ridiculous, over-produced, and overdone, but I still enjoyed it. After all, how can anybody not like a movie in which Arnie takes on Satan himself, lol! And veteran director Peter Hyams always had a knack for staging high octane action scenes, and here he delivered them in spades. I also enjoyed Rod Steiger's performance, unlike his previous priest role in The Amityville Horror where he really hammed it up.

It was on TV over Xmas and I had another viewing. Crappy nonsense, for sure, but I didn't get bored. Made when Robin Tunney had her 15 minutes in the Hollywood spotlight. 4/10

It's definitely one of my favorite Arnold's performance, and I put emphasis on performance because he actually did one outside of his usual over-the-top action roles. The burnt out cop isn't anything new obviously but Arnold does it really good and it felt genuine with slight subtly to it, which is definitely difficult to do with Arnold. To really get a good performance out of Arnold, he needs to be surrounded by good actors with something to work with. And you got that with Pollack and Byrnes and even Steiger. Definitely didn't deserve the Razzie.

It was a film that had to be made. It was the end of the century, the perfect time for a film like this. It should have done better.

5/10 Could have been better. Should have concentrated more on the horror aspect but it tries more for an action film. Good soundtrack though.

A flawed but decent movie. Arnold plays the depressed, suicidal lead surprisingly well. The nu-metal soundtrack and terrible CGI are overly distracting and it's a good 20 minutes too long, but one of Arnold's better post-glory days showings. 6/10

It's one of Arnold's OK movies (like Raw Deal, Red Heat or The Sixth Day). I think Arnold and Gabriel Byrne are enjoyable, but as someone else said, the tone feels all wrong for the premise. Arnold fighting Satan should have been an outright action film with horror overtones like Predator, not a mopey thriller.
5/10
