Spot on, that's really the nail on the head there, the actor may well be fine but if the script is ****e or the plot is ****e, well, it's all a waste of time really.

The problem stems from the fact that he is older now and likely facing a different situation in the industry now. Things have changed while he was gone. Audiences who have watched the listed titles will be faced with a much older and likely differently-directed and envisioned Arnie character than they are used to seeing.
And another good point. Times have changed, so have movie-goer's expectations.

It will be interesting to see what Hollywood will come up with, and indeed Arnie, obviously he will need to agree to whatever is going to be put in front of him.

Edit:
Actually i did find this:
Rumors abound that The Governator is plotting his big-screen comeback and the current buzz has him taking a long, hard look at 'With Wings as Eagles.' The project, which has been floating around Hollywood for over a decade according to Empire, was penned by Randall Wallace. It focuses on a German soldier in World War II who disobeys his commanding officers in order to rescue POWs. Wallace has long wanted Schwarzenegger for the lead, saying the actor would still be a perfect fit "well into his sixties."

Schwarzenegger, meanwhile, is acknowledging that he's not the young man he once was. "Extreme fighting and shooting isn't possible for me anymore," the actor says. "In the future I'll need to pick my roles according to my age. Clint Eastwood did it the same way. In With 'Wings as Eagles' I would play an older soldier, but the script still has all kinds of adventure." Schwarzenegger might not have the acting chops of Eastwood, but it seems likely that he'll find a niche for himself in the business that will keep his fans happy. Plus, Schwarzenegger did demonstrate a talent for comedic roles – given the right supporting cast. Maybe he lands some roles in those kinds of films.

It isn't guaranteed that 'With Wings as Eagles' will mark Schwarzenegger's return to the big screen since he's also considering two other unnamed projects. Details on those haven't been revealed.
