2. Arnold Schwarzenegger
I remember when I first heard that Arnie was going to return to making movies and I was very excited. There wasn't anything special from in delivered in his small turn in the The Expendables, but then again it was only a very minor part. Anticipation remained. Now, having seen The Last Stand, Escape Plan and The Expendables II, the thrill of having Arnie back in the saddle has all but disappeared. Schwarzenegger seems content to play a caricature of himself, and while there's nothing wrong with that in principle, there's very little range there. He's even gone as far as turning himself into a soundboard on YouTube, shouting his famous lines into the camera like a man possessed. On the subject of one-liners, the most publicised quip featured in Escape Plan has to be an all new low for entertainment: "You hit like a vegetarian!" Do scriptwriters have some sort of obligatory action mad-lib quota that needs to be adhered to? The saddest thing about Arnie now is that he has lost most of the charm and charisma he used to exude in droves. The years away from the camera haven't done him any favours in the acting department, either, as his timing has really suffered - a lot of his jokes fall flat. Group all this together and the future seems bleak for upcoming flicks like The Legend of Conan and Terminator 5. These iconic characters need to respected, and we can only hope that Arnold can get back into the swing of it before we are left with more unnecessary and disappointing sequels.
