I watched them back to back, both for the first time, a few weeks ago. I was blown away by T1. The sci-fi elements, the plot, the grittiness...it was all beautifully done.<br /><br />I wanted to like T2. I really did. And I think your music analogy holds, but that is the same reason why I didn't like T2. If you release one album, and then seven years later you just remaster it, add in a few songs and release it again, is it really all that much better? Sure T2's special effects and Linda Hamilton badass-ness was infinitely greater in the second movie, but the plot was a rehash of the first one. I wish they had done something new. My mind was not blown, but my eyes sure did like what they were seeing.akhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871904776720241232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-30581477856894821262009-08-12T08:22:30.250-04:002009-08-12T08:22:30.250-04:00Predator was a much better movie than Terminator. ...Predator was a much better movie than Terminator.

However, after reading your Terminator reviews and your article on musicals, I just wanted to tell you how great your writing has become. Please don't mistake me on this - your writing has always been good, but you knocked these latest two pieces out of the park! Keep it up!<br />I also just re-watched the first Terminator, having thought for the past 8 years that it paled in comparison to T2... boy, was I wrong.<br />DominicDomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626731075746453404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34109938779490239752009-05-20T23:26:15.601-04:002009-05-20T23:26:15.601-04:00Mike z -- YOU ARE CORRECT. oops. it was the truck ...Mike z -- YOU ARE CORRECT. oops. it was the truck that had the liquid nitrogen in it.<br /><br />you know i even had a screenshot i didn't use that shows "liquid rooter" i was going to title it something like.

Having just seen The Terminator and having seen no marketing of Terminator 2, it was quite the shock when Arnold is revealed to be the good guy. Up until that point, the movie itself makes no inference that he's the good guy. They even dress Robert Patrick deceivingly as a police officer. So when both have their guns drawn at each other with John in the middle, and then Arnold shouts "Get down!", shoots Patrick, who and then revealed to be a machine and the actual villian...that's movie magic. That kind of twist that early in a movie can never be kept secret in a big studio movie anymore.Glendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811345138753747628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-23341105804138368342009-05-20T14:13:30.550-04:002009-05-20T14:13:30.550-04:00Moasey... what a great story.

She was the nicest lady you would ever want to meet. She knew all of our names and even came out for smoke breaks with us. A lovely lady for sure.Moaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493562023548559357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-21251595176199618622009-05-20T02:58:41.316-04:002009-05-20T02:58:41.316-04:00Watching Linda Hamilton here makes you wonder just...Watching Linda Hamilton here makes you wonder just how exactly Sigourney Weaver got nominated for <I>Aliens</I>. Hamilton <I>is</I> this film, despite it's many <B>MANY</B> other A-grade assets. As you say, that moment where she comes face to face once again with Arnie is, perhaps, her finest moment. Shows a completely different side, her original side, that we don't get to see ever again.<br /><br />The action scenes! Wow. Those action scenes are immaculate. My favourite being the asylum escape, but, honestly, take any of the others and I wouldn't be able to argue against it. <br /><br />Aagh! This movie is just so fantastic. One of the small number of movies I would give an <B>A+</B> to. I honestly don't think it has a single flaw.<br /><br />I wrote a review for <I>Star Trek</I> yesterday and I noted that James Cameron would've made it a better movie because he'd make sure what was happening on screen was interesting enough to not need to shake and spin and zoom the camera about all over the place with colour flares and all the mumbo jumbo that movie had just to create the illusion of excitement and tension.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75575122020921378862009-05-20T00:21:19.321-04:002009-05-20T00:21:19.321-04:00Linda Hamilton totally deserved that Oscar nominat...Linda Hamilton totally deserved that Oscar nomination -- if only for that videotape scene, "...and they fall & break apart like leaves..."
