I quite enjoyed it. But, I thought the Arnold cameo needless and in fact distracting--in fact, even "dangerous". It broke the "third wall" by bringing the viewer out of the world of the movie--and its own logic--and into the real world of self-referential in-jokes where movie logic breaks down and makes the experience less enjoyable. Fortunately it was very quick and followed by a kick-ass action sequence to help the viewer forget. And, the Rock can actually act, as compared to Mr. S.
