Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man of many talents and apart from being the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia, he is a professional bodybuilder, actor, politician, and successful businessman. He has been in the industry for decades now and his fame and reputation are always sky-high within the industry and is frequently claimed to be one of the best actors.
Though this man is known for pulling quite the stunts like firing machine guns made for helicopters or taking a grenade face-on. None of them ever stopped him from doing these stunts more in movies like The Terminator, and Commando has entertained his audience beyond belief. Though Arnold Schwarzenegger was on a high roll with his consecutive blockbuster movies, the movie Last Action Hero really turned things around for the worse as it was a massive failure for him.
Last Action Hero Marked the Fall of Arnold Schwarzenegger
While Arnold Schwarzenegger is regarded as one of the most successful actors of the 20th century, it is also true that his range of expertise is quite low in the acting field. All the characters he plays in his movies turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger and not the other way around, though he has achieved quite the success for most of his career, Last Action Hero failed due to his inability of portraying flexible roles. This is one of the many reasons why his many movies failed despite his immense popularity and fame within the industry.
Last Action Hero is a movie heavily based and packed with action and comedy and despite being a well-written script, the movie failed both in reviews and in the box office collection. The movie was poorly directed, and its marketing was also done poorly thus it became a critical failure. The movie was not enough to be a blockbuster and the movie kept hanging between a funny and an action film, and upon its release, it garnered many negative reviews and fan reactions as they were not convinced of the movie, as it failed to pick a genre.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Led a Succesful Life in Hollywood
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been in the industry for over 5 decades and has acquired quite the fame, money, power, and respect from the people, and made his debut in Hollywood with Hercules in New York. His unconventional way of acting helped him boost his career in the industry and made his way to one of the most prominent actors. His movie Pumping Iron was quite the blockbuster and was one of his most successful movies that carried his career to the next level.
Schwarzenegger was also an active participant in politics as he was the Governor of California for 2 terms, from 2003 to 2007, and from 2007 to 2011. He was highly respected during and after his term as he completed his term without any problems or situations and even has active participation in speeches related to the environment and climate change. He also made quite the impression with his open views during the Ukrainian and Russian wars.
