Review of The Villain

The Villain (1979)
6/10
"I got all dressed up for nothin'."
11 June 2022
I saw this as a teen at the height of my Arnold fandom and didn't like it. Seeing it now I find it pretty enjoyable. It's dumber than a box of rocks but it just brings a big smile to my face. The cartoon homages with the stunts, the clueless hero, the hammy villain, the busty (and lusty!) damsel in distress, and best of all the beautiful brings-tears-to-your-eyes political incorrectness sorely missing from today's world where everyone is an inch away from righteous indignation at all times. Paul Lynde would be canceled five times over today. The movie does lose some steam in the middle, but it's still a fun picture overall. Sensitive types should avoid the film. Pseudo-intellectuals as well.
