Why doesnt Holywood digitally graft Arnolds head to some 20 something bodybuilder. That way we are blessed with more years of his hilarious accent, unbelievable stunts, and one liners. The special effect didnt look that bad in Captain America with the main actor going from skinny to buff.

B/C that was the opposite - they shrunk him.

I'm going to be honest here... it doesn't look that great to me, even for an action flick. Every scene in this trailer has Arnold throwing out one liner cliches. :|

That is what makes Arnold movies good, though.

What is he like 65?
Yeah, 65.
I was going to say not a big deal since Clint Eastwood was 65 when he made Dirty Harry. Then I looked it up and apparently he was only in his 40s. wtf? Eastwood must smoke a hell of a lot. He looked a lot older than 40 in that movie.

I don't see the problem with Arnold taking on older roles. He might not have his looks but he still has the voice (like Dirty Harry) and he's one of the more talented action stars. Nobody can deliver a one liner better than Arnold because he always sounds serious when saying the most ridiculous things. He's also great with deadpan humor because he can keep a straight face when doing really stupid things.

I don't know. He looks like crap. Sad to say this, but this is not the same Arny from Predator. He let himself go, big time, you cannot make up for that. Stallone on the other hand aged very very well which proves to show you can look good when you're old... problem is Arnold didn't keep up with his workouts...

Arnold does look pretty old in the trailer. He's aging badly, probably due to steroid use.

He's 65 years old and fit more "stuff" into those 65 years than most people could in 10 lifetimes.

Yeh, Stallone was very outspoken about his HGH use in the last few years to get into shape for his recent movies.

Stallone goes to Australia go get injected with human growth hormone and has had numerous plastic surgeries.

BTW- I LOLed when I saw a pic of his mom today (who evidentally does the same thing he does):

WTF is with all the white people at that border town. I live on the border and I'm a minority here. Srsly, it's like 90% Latino around here.

Jesus fucking christ that's hideous. How the FUCK can people think they look better with that bullshit? Ugh, what a fucking dick shrinker.

Movie looks ok but will def see it cause of Arnold.
