What to Know

Critics Consensus

If Arnold is too acquiescing to fully grapple with Schwarzenegger's complex legacy, the basic facts of his life are fascinating enough to make for a thoroughly entertaining documentary.

slevin s Jul 22 People who hates on him because he's cocky make me laugh. If anyone managed to accomplished what he did, y'all be a little cocky, and RIGHTFULLY so. He's the pinnacle of what one can accomplish when he puts all his energy into it. So to review this documentary, it's a 10/10 from me. Good overview of his life's timeline. Living Legend. See more Andrew M Mar 5 Watching "Arnold" was like sitting down with an old friend and discovering stories you never knew about their life. I’ve always admired Arnold Schwarzenegger for his larger-than-life personality, but this documentary deepened my appreciation for him—not just as a bodybuilder or actor, but as a man who defied the odds time and again. What struck me most was how open and reflective Arnold was throughout the series. He didn’t shy away from addressing his mistakes, and that honesty gave the documentary an authentic edge. Hearing about his journey from a small village in Austria to global superstardom was inspiring, but it was the emotional moments—like his struggles with family and the sacrifices he made—that made it so relatable. The pacing of the series was perfect; I was hooked from start to finish. It’s not just a celebration of his accomplishments but a testament to resilience, hard work, and the power of dreaming big. I walked away feeling motivated and reminded that no matter where you start, you can achieve greatness if you stay focused and determined. Whether you're a fan of his movies, his political career, or just intrigued by his story, "Arnold" is a must-watch. For me, it wasn’t just a documentary; it was an experience that left a lasting impression. Arnold truly embodies the idea of being "useful" and staying busy, and that’s a lesson I won’t forget.

After watching this docu series I am left in awe of his discipline, his constant passion, vision to be successful and want more and keep moving.
