I now honestly think that great entertainment is an action-lead plot that's executed by an auteur with a deep vision, helped by a crew of true professionals. I was reminded of how great and multilayered Conan the Barbarian (also with Arnold), and how perfect the soundtrack, sets and underlying themes work in the movie. They never attempt anything begging for awards, nor the signaling that many modern filmmakers do just to impress, they just put in the things that seemed to work best.
