Arnold

An exceptionally comprehensive biography of one of the most influential artists of our time, who stood out for his ambition and grand plans, which he managed to turn into reality. An impressive account of a legend that is factual, direct and well handled. Those three hours with Arnold went by in a flash. (18.06.2023)

Cleverly conceived, intelligently spoken, engagingly narrated. Arnold seems to have finally made a proper documentary detailing all three of his greatest achievements. I'm sure most people are looking forward to the second episode, but this one is also interesting to watch. It moves carefully and slowly and chronologically forward, showing Arnold at the height of his physical powers as Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia. Good as a probe into this particular sport in the 1970s, and also as the story of a legend. (18.06.2023)

Too complex a subject for only one hour. There are a lot of things, moments and information that fly by too quickly and a lot of times key situations just skim the surface. I wanted more info on how the filming of T2 or True Lies went, but the second episode is so fast-paced that there's a lot but nothing proper. This makes it a bit worse than the first episode, but still a decent job. (18.06.2023)

The least interesting episode about the least interesting topic – politics will never be as cool as bodybuilding or the film industry, but it is evident Arnold left a strong mark there as well. More powerful than the recapitulation of his political achievements was his final accounting of the mistakes he made. (18.06.2023)
