Yes, I started this endeavor in par...Thanks, Mati!<br /><br />Yes, I started this endeavor in part as a defense of Schwarzenegger the actor. There's a reason his movies were so successful. He had some kind of special charm that worked for him more often than not. He's easy to caricature, but his contemporaries never had sustained success at his level (Stallone, Gibson, Willis, Russell, etc.). <br /><br />I was just thinking about Batman & Robin this morning. It is rightfully vilified, but I now realize it's one of the more important movies ever made. It killed: the Batman series in its form at the time, George Clooney's chances at becoming an "action" star, Chris O'Donnell's career, Alicia Silverstone's career, and most importantly, Arnold's career. He was probably reaching his "end of days" anyway, but this was the biggest nail in the coffin. He made some OK films after this, but I don't think anyone can <i>un-see</i> lines like "let's kick some ice" just left everyone a bit "cold" on Arnold. (See? It's still painful.) Somehow it had no significant impact on director Joel Schumacher's career. That's a head-scratcher.Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989379631083901130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205309413661318407.post-1130425476087478532012-01-18T00:18:22.342-03:002012-01-18T00:18:22.342-03:00Man I'm loving this reviews, you did an amazin...Man I'm loving this reviews, you did an amazing work. I really want to watch all of this Schwarzenegger movies again, he may not be the best actor (or politician, or husband) but I loved his movies so much when I was a kid that I'm a full fledged fan.<br /><br />I really want to know what you would say about Batman & Robin though... that must be the worst movie in his career (and George Clooney's, Chris O'Donnell's and even Alicia Silverstone's).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040110929996865042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205309413661318407.post-8906608973483463412007-02-05T20:25:00.000-03:002007-02-05T20:25:00.000-03:00Reed,
