Arnold Schwarzeneggers best performance


Arnold Schwarzeneggers best performance i have always enjoyed his movies but this movie
May prove too dark to make the list of Schwarzenegger's biggest hits. But the movie suggests the actor still has a lot to offer -- and he's willing to take some chances, too. Welcome back, Arnold.

Schwarzenegger cannot act to save his life, and so his best performance has to be Terminator, which also happens to be a great movie...

No, I suppose you may be correct...He currently features in a UK commercial for California's tourist board...He says only five words, but manages to sound completely false...

LOL! But on topic. This is not his best performance. To me his best performances are a tie between T1, T2, and Last Action Hero.

His performance is good especially when he misses his family & when he questions Christine In the park

His best performance is by far T2 as he levels the serious and the comedy out perfectly. He really isn`t a good actor and was obviously cast as The Terminator due to his robotic acting so he was perfect for the role.

reply

The Terminators were good but in here, he's playing a human being, not a cyborg, or some barbarian, he gets his ass kicked in here, he's not a superhero in here either. IMHO, this is Arnold's best acting. That scene where he sees his daughter's toy and breaks down, then later when he's face to face with Satan in his room, that was a great scene. Arnie really showed his acting chops in this film.

Arnold had enough experience by this point to at least be able to act and emote competently and I actually find him relatively believable in End of Days.

reply

Arnold's best performance was easily in Predator.

reply

LOL, he was awesome in Predator but he was really believable as a broken down man in here.

Yep, Predator.

Predator, best performance hands down.

Yup, I thought he was best in Predator

I didn't hate the movie and Arnold is always entertaining but this was one of his worst performances. Very awkward and goofy in a semi-serious film.

reply

Sabotage.

reply

One of his better acting jobs here. I always thought True Lies was his best and Predator of course.

reply

I know I'm going to get shouted down here, but I actually thought he was very good in Junior!

Generally speaking, his comic timing is spot on. He was especially good when he was manifesting 'feminine emotions' and showing his hurt over Danny DeVito's insensitivity - that was great 

Honourable mentions also to T2, Total Recall and True Lies.
