Is this worth watching?

I'm interested to watch Last Action Hero maybe since a year ago when I saw that Arnold musical Hamlet spoof on youtube, which led me to discovering this movie. And I watched the trailer, and I can't decide whether this movie is the worst movie, or the best worst movie. So is this any good or would I just be wasting my time with the movie?

It's part of the essential Schwarzenegger collection. I can't say that I see why the film is always on the receiving end of so much castigation. It's leagues away from being an awful film.

I loooooooooove this movie! It's a great parody of silly Arnold movies, while also managing to be a totally serviceable Arnold movie!

Also, it contains an alternate universe in which Sly Stallone stars in Terminator.

I also have a soft spot for this movie.  It is far from his worst movie because he did play Mr. Freeze in Batman and Robin.

It's worth a watch. The kid is kind of annoying though.

Oddly enough that and the ending scene are the only things I remember from that film

@TheFaithfullyDeparted: Really, Cause the part where he says "The bad guys are in THERE!" ANd then Arnold makes that joke, and I can't stop Laughing, it's one of my favorite quotes! "all of the things i had to learn, when i could just drive along the Block, and point at a house and say the bad guys are in there."
