    'The Last Stand' is Currently Sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes...100%!

    I wouldn't even consider this news and I had no intention of writing about this tonight but it can't help but go unnoticed:

    The Last Stand - the comeback film for Arnold Schwarzenegger - which looks like nothing more than a action heavy B-movie is currently at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    "Arnold is, as he promised, back, and it turns out that is good news indeed." 

    -Drew McWeeny, HitFix

    "What elevates this formulaic tale is Schwarzenegger, in a part specifically tailored for his comeback, and the fast-paced action pieces by the gifted Korean director."

    -Emaniel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    "A credit to Kim Ji-woon and his collaborators... With the right audience of like-minded people THE LAST STAND could well be one of the most unabashedly fun experiences you'll have at a theatre this year."

    -Jason Gorber, Twitch

    Now, don't get ahead of yourself so quickly, there's only been 9 reviews counted so far, but just the fact that the film is off to perfect start is nothing short of shocking (just for reference, Terminator Salvation started off with 3 positive reviews out of 8 and you saw where that one went...never hit above 33%).

    Could Arnold's big comeback film be better than we anticipated and actually end of doing above average business?  I never pegged this film to do any higher than $50 million domestically with about another $75 million overseas (bigger fan-base over there) but if these positive reviews keep up, that number might very well change.

    Keep up with the link below as The Last Stand just might kick some serious ass both critically and commercially:
