The beard really suits Arnold. He should keep it for other roles at this point in his career.

 

[DarthPollo]

yeah, Keep the beard and I want to see Arnie making a good western. ala Clint Eastwood.

I'm so excited for the premiere of Maggie tonight at Tribeca Film Festival that I couldn't wait to share this exclusive clip with you guys. This is different than any movie I've done. Henry Hobson was a great director and Abigail Breslin and Joely Richardson are both incredible.

I can't wait for you to see it.

Henry Hobson's directorial debut might be the first genuine tearjerker in Schwarzenegger's career.

From the outset, both Schwarzenegger and the premise of "Maggie" are too familiar for their own good. "Maggie" notably gives both a fresh spin. The movie subtly examines whether people accustomed to a precise way of life can deal with cataclysmic change; by extension, it implies similar questions about Schwarzenegger's career as he heads toward his seventies, and makes a solid case that more new directions await.
Grade: B+

Saw some other reviews that gave the film a much lower grade. Arnie and Breslin were highly praised though.

The trailer got me on the hook for this. Interesting concept and Arnold looks like he turns in a solid performance.

He definitely needs to stay away from the terrible Expendables hair look.

So what is the consensus with the reviews? I thought this looked great from the trailers.

It's getting solid reviews and everyone is saying Arnold knocks his performance out of the park.

 

[Kane52630]

It's out now on Amazon and Itunes. Can't wait to see it tonight.

My review:

Spoiler

I don't want to hype it up too much but I gotta say this was ****in incredible. Arnold and Abigail Breslin knocked it out of the park. It goes through the changing process of becoming a zombie which is the meat of the story and it's done so well. Also, whoever did the effects should get an award and probably should work on Walking Dead, because it's the most detailed i've ever seen in a zombie movie/show. There's a shot in particular that frighten me and that's that's saying a lot. Overall, it's a can't miss and probably one of Arnold's best films in over a decade.

9.5/10

 

[Sho Nuff]

Just finished the movie.

Arnold's acting in this movie was beyond great. I hope this is a turn for the better regarding his future roles. I'm not sure how to rate the movie exactly, it is a "zombie movie" unlike one I have ever seen. Story wise it just hits a perspective that I have never seen on film.

Spoiler

Maggies final scene with her father was not at all what I expected to happen.

 

[Kane52630]

It's got the same level of weight emotional wise as something like The Last of Us. I was worried for a few moments early on that it would stay in a very slow pace, but it does move along right around the 20-30 min mark.

 

[Kane52630]

I know I shouldn't be looking at RT, but I couldn't help myself. I can't believe it's getting mixed reviews. It seems they can't take Arnold seriously.

 

[henry_9305]

If Arnold is great in it then it is already a win to me.
So glad to see you guys are digging it.

 

[chamber-music]

This felt like an extended episode of The Walking Dead.

Schwarzenegger did well in his role.

 

[jaymes_e06]

I really want to see this.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i saw this last night

i enjoyed it. it's not like all the other zombie related movies/shows we have seen in the past. it's actually quite depressing. both Abigail Breslin and Arnold give excellent performances.

Watched this tonight. I would definitely say it's a pretty slow moving movie.
