Review of Sly

Sly (2023)
6/10
Good but, Arnold did it first
5 November 2023
I liked this as a snapshot and I respect the man as a writer and director, as well as actor, but I just felt like he was trying to fast follow the Arnold documentary. (Evidenced by the shorter run time.) I know their rivalry is over, but seems forced since Arnie had one. Interesting story and I don't discredit him for what he's achieved, it was the CONCEPT that just felt like a copy cat- oh Arnie had one and so I need one now too. I enjoyed it as a whole especially from a rags to Hollywood icon American story, but as an Arnie fan for 34 years it's hard to not feel the comparison and think this is a guy that felt he needed his glory/mark on Hollywood as a muscleman that made it to be in a doc as well.
