Classic Arnie

Advantages: fully entertaining
Disadvantages: not long enough

...me and my friends from the first time we saw it. Arnie couldn't have played the Terminator any better than he did, and the movie is full of classic arnie quotes,there is pleny fo violence and action to keep you going. Ok maybe the effects aren't as good as some some of the more modern sci-fi movies out today but its got a gritty and dark feel to it that really improves the story. this was a great starting movie for the terminator series of movies,it ...

The Terminator

Advantages: Arnie; Michael Biehn; Love sub-plot; Scary; Concept of the Future
Disadvantages: Dated CGI

...cyborg. In this iconic role, the tight-lipped, square-headed Austrian warped into the minds of many 80s youths, such as myself, and made us truly believe there are killer robots aiming to wipe out our existence in the near future. Even today, the haunting science behind the fictitious tale of The Terminator contributes to my cynical outlook of men at war with machines. By now, it is common knowledge that John Connor is at the pinnacle of humanity's ...
...century. The machines, of course, fully aware of this threat, decide to send a T-800 model (Arnie) back in time to kill Connor's mother Sarah; thus, attempting to eliminate the child's existence prior to him being born. Fortunately, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), is also sent back as one of the freedom fighters, and is prepared to protect the target from the seemingly indestructible cyborg right until the very end. The horrifyingly original concept, ...

Action packed spy adventure

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: none

...he tried something different with True Lies. True Lies is an action-packed film about Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an American spy working for a government organisation called Omega Sector, along with his partner Albert Gibson (Tom Arnold). However, Harry is hiding his life as a spy from his wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter, Dana (Eliza Dushku), by pretending to be a computer salesman. He is routinely missing big family events ...
...is neglecting them. Harry has his own problems dealing with Middle Eastern terrorists led by Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik), who has stolen nuclear weapons and are threatening to nuke the US. This is an exciting film that has been influenced a bit by the Bond films. However having Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character leading a double life adds a twist, which is also humourous. As you would expect from a James Cameron film, the story is great and full of ...

The Four Horses of the Apocalypse

Advantages: The Films
Disadvantages: They Are A little Similar/Conan the Barbarian

The Four Horses of the Apocalypse, these film kick ass. These films stand for one thing. Being the best. But anyway Predator what can i say? it rules. Having Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and Kevin Peter Hall hunt a alien that is far more advanced then them in everyway, but they do it anyway, thats called being a man. As the soldiers make their way to the extraction point, they are observed by an unknown creature, who uses ...
...awesome today. Once members of the team are slain mysteriously, they become aware that something in the jungle is stalking them, whose presence is confirmed by eerie sightings of a cloaked figure. The acting maybe a little cheesy at times but other than that is amazing. There are some tongue in cheek moments when Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and CIA agent, George Dillon (Carl Weathers) have a sacking hand arm wrestle and there is a close ...
