Top 5 action movie material. Seriously. I haven't seen this since I was a kid and I am amazed how much it has aged.
John <3
T-1000 <3
Arnie <3
So many awesome moments. Definitely the best Arnold film ever. I haven't seen T3 yet but I tried to rent all 3 tonight. Turns out the place I went to, you have to have a florida drivers license to become a member so I said screw that and just bought T2 on dvd for 5 bucks.
My friends and I will rent T1 and 3 tomorrow. TERMINATOR MARATHON :rock
-
T-fucking-2 :rock :rock :rock

:rock :rock :rock
The chase at the beginning :bow
The way Arnie reloads the shotgun while on the bike :bow
-
The movie is simply badass. I remember watching it as a kid and going crazy throughout the entire movie lol.
Die Hard :bow
Terminator 2 :bow
Predator :bow
Holy Trinity :bow

I love True Lies and Total Recall. I haven't seen either since I was kid but I think I remember preferring True Lies more, even if it did have the nasty ass Jamie Lee Curtis strip scene :x
-
T1 > T2
-
Outside the whiny punk kid, T2 is the perfect action movie.
T1 > T2
close call
I loved the mood of the first film.
-
I can agree to T1 = T2
-
T1 hasn't aged well at all. It's still badass but damn, the music and atmosphere are just so...ugh.
I used to turn the brightness/contrast up on my old TV just so I could see Arnold's ass :lol
-
Basically the Terminator series has gotten more corny as it's gone along.
I'm with Malek. It's really hard to pick between the first two. T2 is pretty much a perfect action film, but T1 is so dark and awesome. Plus, Michael Biehn fucking rules. T3 is awesome, too. Fuck the haters.
-
I don't know.....I always look at T2 as such a let down. I loved the first movie and was pumped going into the theater to see T2 but everything about it ended up annoying the shit out of me. I wanted the bad ass terminator Arnold, the only thing he's been good in Arnold, not the fucking Kindergarten Cop. T2 seemed pretty cheesy compared to the first one.
-
See, I guess that's how most people feel towards T3, Hitler. They don't realize that T2 started down that path already. Seeing and loving T2 first definitely shaped my feelings towards the series as a whole.
-
I bought T2 on DVD before I owned a DVD player and still haven't watched the disc. I should remedy that situation.
-
I'm sorry, Himu.
(1/15/2008 12:00:43 AM) himu: arnie isn't in T3 is he
(12:00:52 AM) CajoleJuice: of course he is
(12:01:03 AM) himu: is he in T1
-
T2 is only $13.95 on Blu-ray. I know the transfer isn't OMG or anything but that's still damn cheap.
-
My favorite is still the first one. The second and third just repeat the formula with flashier effects.
BTW, distantmantra, check your PMs!

Yeah, I think if you were younger (or you know, under 13) when T2 came out and if that was the gateway into the "series" you'd probably feel quite a bit different about it than I. I was looking for something dark and edgy, but what we got was a Guns N' Roses video with a Burger King cross promotion. Sure the CGI was pretty amazing to see back then but I'd rather see Arnold cut into his 30 dollar plastic face in the first movie than be bored to tears watching T-1000 morph into a fat security guard.

Do you want another movie enemy around here? You're fucked in the head.

I saw T2 first, T1 wins.

But you just said you'd roll with T1 = T2. Hitler obviously does not feel that way.

Oh what the hell...Himu has never seen T1 or 3?

If you look online you can find Arnie nudes. :shh
-

Well, they're very different movies. I like each for different reasons. I like T1's theme/style/choice/whatever more, but T2 excels just as well at what it aims for.

And this is how seeing T2 first obviously shaped your perspective.
-
What is the purpose of what you are saying? I never said I was in lock step with Hitler, only that I could appreciate T1 after years of T2 exposure. More than appreciate it, prefer it.
-
I don't know. I realized after I said that it was kinda dumb. :P
Well actually, if you prefer T1...then wouldn't you have been disappointed by T2 when you saw it as well?
You don't need to answer that. It's pointless anyhow.
-

Good to know!
-
:rofl
-
Yea, I noticed taht Hitler thing lol

It's okay baby we all get caught up in the MESSAGE BOARDZ :heartbeat
I saw T1 way way later than I saw T2.
-
I can't imagine seeing the Terminator movies out of order.
I remember seeing The Terminator on video when I was little, and then going to see T2 on opening night in the theater.
-
Terminator had that sex scene where you could see Linda Hamilton's boobs, it was an omg moment for my young self.
-
Here I go again agreeing with Himuro. Best movie ever? Possibly, yes.
Actually no, it's tied with Alien as best movie ever.
-
T1 > T2 > T3
None of them suck, T1 is just that awesome. Practical effects ALWAYS beat CGI, no matter how good it is. Besides, as evil Terminators go, Arnold > John Doggett > Bloodrayne.
T3 is not bad though. Its about the last American action film I really liked.
-
T1 and T2 are both awesome.
Commando = "Don't mind my friend. He's dead tired."
Commando has so many great lines. It's truly Ahnuld's most under-appreciated film.
***Drops a guy off a cliff***
Woman- "Where's Sully?"
Matrix- "I let him go."
I want to see the extended edition with the over-the-top gore.

I watched 1 and 2 recently and I agree 1 is a better film than 2.
-
This is my favorite movie of all time, it's been a while since I've seen T1 though and I didn't care much for 3 outside of a few good scenes.
-
t2 > t3 > t1
that's how 90% of people feel
