    However Schwarzenegger got there, “Arnold” reminds us of his often-surprising and mostly charmed life, failures and all. And while one is tempted to say, “He’ll be back,” the truth is that when it comes to fame, Schwarzenegger hasn’t left the stage, in one field or another, since he first muscled onto it.

    Despite the fact that Schwarzenegger isn’t exactly the most introspective person in the world, Arnold is still a fascinating portrait of a person who has was determined to be a success in the United States and has achieved in mostly every field he entered.

It feels more like an advertisement for Schwarzenegger than a deep dive into what makes him tick. For example, there's no explanation of how he even became a millionaire, and his bricklaying business wasn't mentioned at all. And at three hours, it really does start to drag in some spots.

    Superb entertainment. Truly motivating.

    Whether you like him or not, Arnold has motivation beyond what anyone could ever dream of. That type of never ending hard work and motivation is inspirational to many of us

    This is essentially a journey through inspiration through the eyes of one man.

    Highly recommend
