I just saw it and I honestly think that it's better than True Lies. Between the two I think Eraser has a more interesting story.
This movie had a good spread of suspenseful scenes and action packed scenes. True Lies started to get boring until the last two action scenes, the one on the highway and the final one on top of the skyscraper with the plane.
Eraser 7/10
True Lies 6/10
Anyone else agree?

I agree.
I love True Lies, but Eraser is better. True Lies is also kinda silly (which is intentional), while Eraser is really more grounded and there's more meat to it. The action sequences are absolutely brilliant and the cast is much more impressive.
Also, the score by Alan Silvestri is a 10/10. Perfect.

True Lies is better but Eraser is really good and its the last movie where its "classic" Arnold.

Nah. It was better than Collateral Damage or The Sixth Day. But it felt too much like perfunctory action. It didn't feel like an Arnold movie. This one could've easily cast Steven Seagal in the lead role and we wouldn't know the difference. A more entertaining action movie about secret agents and identities from that same year was The Long Kiss Goodnight. I have that one on DVD.

True Lies was a great parody of 90s action movies and was hilarious. Eraser has some good parts but it's 100% serious and is pretty dated.

Eraser was a good one. But True Lies remains, in my eyes, Arnold's best film.

The sun is shining but the ice is slippery.

I too disagree on all accounts.
True Lies
was infinitely superior in every way.
