He probably knows of his acting limitations so that's why he sticks to the same stuff regularly. Dwayne is a likable guy, but like with Arnold, he's more movie star than actor and isn't really someone capable of nuance or depth.
Difference is that in his prime, Arnold made Terminators 1&2, Conan the Barbarian (hey, even Destroyer was OK), Predator, The Running Man, Commando, Total Recall, Last Action Hero and True Lies. Even his comedies like Twins and Kindergarten Cop (let's forget Junior) were big hits.
Aside from say, The Rundown, Faster and the more watchable Fast & Furious films, Johnson hasn't really made a film that holds up the way Arnold's best films do.
Arnold also managed to work with creative directors in their primes like Milius, Cameron, McTiernan, Verhoeven, Reitman, etc. and in each film, he was put in different situations/worlds with colorful supporting casts. Johnson is too heavily-involved in his films to the point where its all about making him the center of attention and taking away from the rest of the actors.
