Arnold's best acting


Still goofy some places, but Arnold did his best serious acting in Predator

reply

I really think he did better in T2. He really has you believer he is non-human in that movie.


But he was also amazing in this film. almost on par with T2 in my books

I think Conan was better. The scene before the battle, when he's sat with Subbotai, reminiscing over his early childhood - That and Last Action Hero, probably.

Watch Raw Deal if you haven't seen it, probably 86' or 87', back around Predator in Arnie's peak. He shows a lot of charisma in his "undercover badguy" character.

Of course! Goes to show you how a good director can maximize an actor's performance.

Hercules in NY was probably his most serious acting role and possibly his best movie behind only Terminator Dark Fate

DOES THIS ACT OF YOURS REALLY BRING YOU ENJOYMENT?

Arnold knows what he's doing. A lot of people think he's not a competent actor. But it's because of his accent that makes them think that. If he was American, or spoke with a believable American accent, he wouldn't get nearly as much guff for his acting.

yes. it it his best performance. by far! first time i see him show emote. he is born to play military leader.

arnold does well when he have good director who coach him in performace. this happen in terminator 1 & 2 as well. cameron and mctiernan understand arnold style.
