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.

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.

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).

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 ...
