Most people prefer the second Terminator movie because of the superior special effects and action, but it didnt have the atmosphere and intensity of the first one. Still an amazing movie though.

I liked Predator a lot too. Actually I should have put it third.
Agreed, moreso because the whole value of the 2nd is completely determined by the first. The entire impact of arnold in the second was based on him turning sides.

Anyway
Terminator
Predator
Terminator 2
True lies
Eraser
are his best roles in that order.

Acting wise.. Arnolds best work is:

Escape plan
True lies
Kindergarten cop

In no particular order. His other movies, while great, doesn't allow him to act to his full potential.

Expendables was maybe the return.. but Escape plan is the reinvention of action movies and Arnold's real comeback

Holy shit what an awesome flick!

Mindblowing acting from Arnold and a shining Stallone in a perfect hand-in-glove role!

A supreme supporting cast, Sam Niell, Jim Caz and the guy that shot himself in Full Metal.

Arnold did it, once again. All these guys need is a script!
The movie sucked.  How the fuck can anybody like this absurd and predictable drivel Hollywood pumps out and calls entertainment.  Honestly, are people so dumbed down they actually enjoy this crap ???  As punishment society, rather than send people to prison should make people watch this movie every day.

Compared to it's genre, and to other movies by Arnold and Sly.. It's awesome.

Classic action movies have nothing to do with being "dumb" or not, it's just reality escape man :)

i thought it was fairly entertaining. arnold was pretty good. absolutely no re-watch value at all, but still worth a watch if you haven't already seen it.

Arnold is finding his groove again, escape plan was good but had scenes nodding to old films but never rising above so wasted opportunity.
Sabotage has the potential to be arnolds best work for  gritty realism and acting wise
