Does Arnold play a good guy or bad guy better?

Definately good guy!borg

Bad bad guy!2guns
Good with guns though!!!

I think he plays both well. But, I think he's better playing the good guy, at least in the Terminator movies.

Me too. He dosent really play a bad guy often!

I suppose I'll go with good guy, but only because he has played a good guy in more than most his films. Although I must admit he played one of the most brutal and dangerous bad guys in Terminator 1.

^absolutely true. and to convert that role of t1 into some1 as protective as the t101 is amazing, only something that cameron can pull off. Never seen such versatility in a machine lol

Yeah so true, I don't think I've ever seen something like that been done before.

Arnold is lucky that after T1 he was not typecast as a person to play the villain in movies.

Apart from Batman and Robin, I actually think Arnie plays the role of a villain much better then he does a good guy. But this is only because his good guy role has been recycled so many times and it seems a little played out now.

You have to take into consideration which director Arnold is working with. Personally I think James Cameron always gets the best out of Arnold, but that's because Cameron is such a high professional. The guy is a genius and I think he got the best out of Arnie.

Because it's rare that Arnie does not play the role of a bad guy, without counting Batman and Robin, I think he's a pretty good villain.

In actuality, he's got good guy roles that span 2 or 3 genres. Look at it this way. Conan, The Terminator, and Dutch or John Kimble, Julius Benedict, and Gordy Brewer.

The choice is clear. The heroic good guy wins out.

I'm rooting for bad guy, if he pulls it off, hardly anyone more intimidating, bar Batman and Robin like u-neek said.

good guy

though he did play one helluva mr. freeze (that movie sucked)

villain

i would have to say good guy, but if Arnold ever returns to movies (please God) than it would be great to see him as another villian.

He was awesome in both roles. Terminator 1 - he was awesome. Terminator 2, he was awesome.

Both are his best films.

I think that was more cos he was a machine. He makes a lousy good guy in some other movies, and a terrible villan in Batman and Robin, its a bit hard to say.

I could probley lean both ways!

I completely agree, and Arnold is at that age now where playing a bad guy better suits him at least in my opinion. Besides how many actors over 56 today do you know that doesn't play a bad guy more often and or honestly just better than a good guy?

He should try playing a mafia kingpin or something. 😄

While smoking that cigar he loves so much, lol

lol. Godfather 4....

i think that Arnold should make another predator movie! SCORE
