So you promised a reaction coming up to a film from the 50s, 60s or 80s? Way to spoil the surprise, Michal! ;-)
🤣🤣🤣
@@MichalZismanReactions Fantastic reaction by the way. If you want to react to an older movie. I highly recommend the original: “Planet of the Apes” with Charleton Heston. You will not be disappointed!
@@solvingpolitics3172 Thanks! Interesting recommendation. Added to the list mainly because of Heston =)
@@MichalZismanReactions A recommendation for something from the 50's "12 Angry Men" (1957) with Henry Fonda.
Was contemplating on watching this one, actually. Thanks 🙂
The Sara playing with the kid in the dream was actually the actresses twin sister, also the two security guards were real life twins.
3:10
People tend to forget that the first part was never meant to be a blockbuster, it was basically a low budget film. Considering it only cost 6 million dollars the effects were insane.
12:02 the guy with the camera was the cop the Terminator took the car from in the first chase in Terminator 1. He is the screenwriter for both movies.
Greatest action movie of all time! And I've never seen anyone guess the plot and the script as much as you did, that's awesome haha :)
You can omit "action" and still be correct.
There was more footage in the director's cut that showed the T1000 starting to show the effects of damage, such as when his hand got stuck to the guardrail in the foundry.
6:29 Linda Hamilton went through an intensive training camp to get her in that kind of shape for T2’s Sarah Connor. Arnold supervised it.
They actually flew that helicopter under that overpass. Charles A. “Chuck” Tamburro was the pilot, and he actually flew the stunt TWICE for the film. There was only 5 ft clearance above and 4 ft each side.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time in the theater when this came out.
Thank you for sharing your reaction. Arnold's terminator was on AFI's 50 Greatest Movie Villains list for the first film, and on their 50 Greatest Heroes list for this one.
I agree, the first one has a perfect script. From start to finish its moving with a single purpose, mirroring the terminator itself.
Terminator: “Why are your eyes leaking?”
I just love how they introduced Sarah Connor. You have very first moment apex predator vibes and that gaze she makes is so predatory. She's no longer damsel in distress.
21:35 This sequence right here where Sarah Connor is accessing Arnold's CPU inside his head is played by Leslie Hamilton, the lead actress's twin sister.
Your reasons for liking the first movie more were well articulated and don't need to be defended. Great reaction!
T1 $6.2 million - T2 $100-102 million, quite a jump. Best action movie of all time, you almost can't compare them, one is a sci-fi horror film (T1), and the other is more a blockbuster, action flick. Still IMO this is a rare occasion of a superior sequel to an already excellent movie. I remember this came on the old school PPV channels back in 92, and our TV picked it up for free. Don't know how that would happen, but I recorded it on VHS, and wore out that tape over the next 10 years watching this.
2 wows:
wow i never realized her pushing the button in both movies
wowwwww alex mack
Think how good the acting was in the face licking scene. 10/10 for both actors.
I've watched a lot of reactions to Terminator 2,and you're the first to figure out right away that Arnold is the good guy! Most reactors are shocked when Arnold protects John from the bullets in the hallway at the arcade.
great reaction! The sequel did a good job. John Conner's foster mom was in "Titanic" and "Aliens"
Ohhhh she was the one who told her kids the bed time story?
Jenette Goldstein(John's foster mother) was also in Near Dark with Lance Hendrickson and Bill Paxton from Aliens.
I knew she was in Aliens but didn’t know about Titanic.
@@MichalZismanReactions correct. Cameron is very loyal to his actors. She showed up in later films he directed.
@@MichalZismanReactions Movie time line - T1, T2 Judgment Day, Dark Fate - judgement day 2,
Alternative time line T1, T2 TSCC(episodes linked to T2) T3 Rise Of The Machines(Liked to T2 & T3) T4 Salivation(how it all began + inked to TSCC + T5) T5 Genisys Alternate time line of T1 1984......
Ms. Michal, whatever country you are from, you should have seen it the first day of showing. People at the theaters were so excited.
He does have a name. I've always referred to Arnold's Terminator in the second Terminator film as the "Uncle Bob" Terminator. -OG
Dean Norris the actor who plays Hank in Breaking bad is one of the SWAT guys who shot Miles and confronted him before the building blew up.
Grindhouse (2007) two film set
or individually Death Proof (2007) and Planet Terror (2007)
Real stuntmen and stuntwomen, no CGI.
In fact... one of the characters of Death Proof is played by a real life and very active professional stunt woman and in the film, her character is actually herself..
If you look up her work, you'll find that you've seen her stunt work in MANY films.
Terminator 2 has my favorite version of Linda Hamilton's character. She really did an incredible job with her role... to the point of changing her body to fit her role.
Total badass.
43:20 perhaps go back in time and be a positive influence in the person's life so that they make better decisions in their future.
Joe Morton(Miles Dyson) was also in Speed and The Justice League. I can't remember where else I've seen him.
He was also a main character in the TV series Eureka.
fun fact, the main SWAT guy who was shouting to get out of the room (when Miles was about to die) is Dean Norris (Hank from breaking bad) haha.
I thought he looked familiar 😁
I didn't recognize Dean visually (his gas mask was on), but oddly enough I did recognize his voice.
@@ciphernine7824 actually, when I was rewatching T2 (after I've already watched BB), that was also what I recognized or found familiar. haha!
One of my favorite classic films is "The Lion In Winter" (1967). I don't know how much I want to say about it...maybe just that it is about a family with some serious issues.
13:41 its the actress who play wasquez in aliens, a crush when i was a teen.
Even though I like the second one a little better, your reasoning for liking the first movie better absolutely makes sense.
You're right about the social commentary... don't drink straight out of the carton :/
28:35 "How can she even think for a second that this is okay?"
She doesn't. Listen to the backing music; it's the Terminator theme. In that moment, for the entirety of the scene until she decides to not kill Dyson, she had _become_ a Terminator. She had _become_ the very soulless killing machine that she hated and feared. It didn't matter that he was a human being. It didn't matter that he had a family. His death with the most efficient way to ensure the preferred future--which was the same reasoning Skynet had when it sent the first Terminator back to 1984 to kill a woman before she could even conceive.
That's why it means so much to her that John came to stop her. He loved her too much to let her cross that line and become irredeemable. He loved her too much to let her lose her humanity.
Incidentally, I really have to suggest checking out _Terminator: Dark Fate._ It gets around the wacky nonsense of the rest of the franchise by wiping it all off the table and continuing from where T2 left off. You get to see Sarah's arc get completed, and you see some ideas in T2 taken further with the Terminator. I'm not saying it's better than T2 or anything, but I'm saying it's _leagues_ better than any of the other nonsense that came out after T2. It also actually finishes the story in a good way.
As for whether I'd kill someone to save the future--if they're an evil bastard, oh yes. In a heartbeat. Show me a younger Hitler and I'll show you an averted genocide. Mussolini, Qaddafi--pick your tyrant. Give me the chance to give them a shotgun enema before they have the chance to hurt people, I'll do it in a heartbeat. I'm not saying I'd enjoy it; I'm not saying I'd like it; I'm not saying I'd sleep easily at night afterward. I'm saying that it would be necessary, and because of that I'd do it without hesitation.
If you thought this film was a bit too long at two and a half hours, you've might've been better off watching the theatrical cut.
The version of the film you watched is the special edition, which has around 15 minutes worth of deleted footage put back in, such as the dream sequence with Kyle Reese, the scene where they remove the CPU from the 'good' Terminator's head, and the scene where John teaches the 'good' Terminator how to smile. These scenes are enjoyable, but inessential to the plot, and in the audio commentary, James Cameron indicated that the theatrical cut is his preferred version of the film.
Also, the version of the film you watched had a different ending than the theatrical cut. The ending you saw is the original ending Cameron came up with, but after seeing how it looked on film, he decided not to use it in the theatrical cut, and went with a more ambiguous ending which left it unclear as to whether or not Skynet's creation had been prevented. Even the initial version of the special edition had the ambiguous ending, but some more recent releases use the original ending instead.
The dream sequences detract from the film. The scenes I do like are the one where the T-1000 glitches out touching the hazard-striped metal, and the subsequent one where it is glitching out disguised as Sarah showing how John knows which one is fake.
Sarah Connor, for a moment, became the Terminator when hunting down Miles Dyson. She became the very thing she grew to hate. Just for a moment. The irony. -OG
Forbidden Planet (1956) is a classic old sci-fi movie.
Those bullets are 40mm high Explosive grenades
The first movie relied upon the story for its content. The 2nd relys upon CGI and explosions. Although Miles death scene is on of the best death scenes on film.
It was interesting that you recognized right away at the start of the film that the quality was better than the first film. The budget for this sequel was actually 16 times as much as for the first film, and it showed.
The Villian in this film (Robert Patrick)
Was in one of the most brilliant and grossley overlooked films ever.
" Fire in The Sky"
How this movie was not huge is a mystery. Based on true accounts (the story of Travis Walton)
Considering so few know it.a snowballs chance in hell will ever get reacted to.
Oh shucks, "Enemy Mine" was a huge hit, but hardly anyone's ever heard of it, these days. There's just no guessing, what will have cultural longevity.
Heck yeah Secret World of Alex Mack! Her puddle form was _definitely_ inspired by this.
Every day after school, I was glued to the tv watching that show 😁
Great reaction Michal! Your commentary is always amusing, and I really enjoy hearing your thoughts at the end. Too many reactors just end the video without really discussing it or letting us know what they thought about the movie.
One thing to note about the version you watched is that it used the original ending which test audiences hated. The theatrical version has a much better ending and most people consider it to be the "true" ending. It's only about 45 seconds, but finishes the film in a better way than the ending that you saw. If you're interested, you can see the theatrical ending here: th-cam.com/video/Lo5M1i1a0Kc/w-d-xo.html.
There's no need to apologize for liking the first film more than the second. It's not like you hated this one or anything like that. Personally, I prefer the second one because it came out when I was a kid and it was a huge thing at the time. The first one, on the other hand, came out when I was still quite young so I didn't see that one in the theater. So, for me, my preference is based purely on an emotional connection to the second film that I don't have with the first film.
Can't wait to see your next video!
Those pictures of Arnold they show Sarah are from the current Arnold. I didn't catch that the first (or 2nd) time around.
Epic movie, somehow it's still charming, just perfect.
Personally *I recommend Terminator 3 to react* as well, it is a good movie (not A++++ but still very good), and answers multiple questions regarding the world, time travel,
there is no fate, etc. etc. Many memorable moments, the overall script is also good, similar but different with enough plot twists, the only thing it lacks is the cheesy charming way of Terminator 2
Love to be sub here, excellent reaction as always.
The problem with T-3 that ruins it totally, is the destruction of the main idea of the previous two - The future is not set. T-3 was a cheap and stupid cash grab and should be obliterated from the history.
@@bluesfoxgrey6883 Which was stupid in the way: 1. If Skynet was stopped how could terminator come back and stop the invention. 2. Once science is at certain level it will step forward. The chip onky boosted a decade or two. You cant prevent cars. You can't prevent AI.
What they can change how to handle it. Which is intresting in the series: multiple AIs, more goals, etc. etc.
@@MolnarG007 That's a time paradox - if the Terminator was sent back and helped prevent the future - the future changes (maybe creating an alternate timeline), but the Terminator won't disappear, he's exists in the past, cause he was already sent. And AI is not possible until people understand how brain works, that's work for 100+ years to come, modern AI is a childs toy.
@@bluesfoxgrey6883 Time paradox depends on how time travel works. There is the Back 2 the future bersion, but also one timeline version, and variants of those. ~40 years ago computers were dumb. ~30 years aho there were internet. 20 years agothere were no smartphones. Today kids dont get to learn hand writing, Trains and subways and airplanes are automatic. Drones winning wars in Asia and Europe. AI learns games like car race or chess in 1 day. They are merging them to databases like Google. Xbox360 motion sense was self progrmmed by machine, noone understands it. They showed what is arm raise million times, but the final code how to interpret iis unknown to human mind. AI is way closer than you think. 50 max. Even if 200 doesn't matter it will happen.
One of the best Schwarzenegger movies next to predator
Happy Saturday Michal! This is one of those rare cases of a sequel being better than the OG, it kicks ass 🙌
Happy Saturday 😁
I never hear anyone talk about the Secret World of Alex Mac! Nice haha
This is one of my favourite sequels ever! I remember the first time I saw it in my early teens on television and it blew me away. I'd never seen an action movie like it before.
Also, it's so weird when people nowadays complain about strong female characters in new films calling it woke and pandering to the left when you've got characters like Ripley from Aliens and Sarah Connor in films from 40+ years ago.
Example of a strong female character I liked: Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Example of one I didn't like: Cinderella from the new Amazon adaptation. Can't put my finger on what turned me off with the latter.
@@Patriiiiick The new ones aren't strong female characters -- they are Mary Sue's (at the expense of strong male characters) with infinitely thick plot armor -- that's why people complain.
@@fewwiggle LOL. Right, because there can't be a woman stronger than a man. All men have to be strong at all times.
@@sallyatticum What are you talking about?
These two movies are somewhat like the first two Alien movies, Alien and Aliens. T1 has more of a horror and suspense theme like the first Alien. T2 has more of an action theme like Aliens. One other similarity - both franchises have essentially 2 good movies and the rest are just fodder. The Rocky franchise though one can argue about later movies also has its strongest two films as the first two. I prefer Aliens and T2 over Alien and T1. But I prefer the first Rocky over the second. With the Godfather series I also prefer the first film over the Godfather 2 (the second Godfather has some great writing and acting and generational story telling but as a story it jumps back and forth breaking the flow at times whereas the first film flows much better - both are great films - the second arguably risks more and achieves more but I enjoy watching the first film more). Lastly the highway ending for this film as another commentator mentioned is a much stronger ending for T2.
Its the horror/thriller 1, action 2 and comedy 3 that loads of movie series in the 80 and 90 followed.
One of the finer points of this movie (along with Terminatior 1) is how much people can talk about the little/big things in these movies. For example how transformation is part of this movie in 4 parallels -- the T1000 physically, Sarah becoming an emotionless "Terminator", John becoming that humane leader, and the T-800 becoming more human .
Another point to note is the full nuclear explosion in T2 -- those visuals are considered to be the best recreation on film of a nuclear detonation -- and considering that it was filmed in 1990 (with the Cold War ending just a year before, and nuclear disarmement talk still ongoing through the next few years) , that explosion was the apex visualization of a nightmare that hunted the world for the last 45 years (pre-1990) .
More young people should watch that explosion today, to have an understanding of what the US & NATO are toying with today in Ukraine .
Ahem ... . So you mentioned an interest in a earlyer movie after next week -- continuing the madness of the Cold War era , I'd suggest Stanley Kubrick's dark comedy "Doctor Strangelove" , in which Peter Sellers plays 3 characters of note .
More younger people need to know about this jem, and the madness between WWII and when they were born .
Yup those work outs! Amazingly impressive. Gotta love Sarah Connor's crazy transformation. The weight of the world on her and her son. Physically and mentally she became what she must.
I´m with you about the first part... I also like the first Terminator more that the second escpecially when taking in consideration that the first one cost 6,4 mio $ and the second 100 mio $.... I also found the liquit metal stuff a litte too much over the top... considerint that there are no motors no CPU etc in that thig. That always throws me off.
They really haven't saved the world in which Kyle Reece lived. That world still had the nuclear holocaust. For John Conner to exist the timeline had to be split.I love how these two movies screw with your mind. Doc Brown from " Back to the Future 2 " explained it to me, well sort of.
About the slow motion, sometimes lower quality video compression can make it more choppy looking.
I've never seen this ending before. "The unknown future" her no fate part stuck out much more as it was just driving down a dark road at night in the theatrical release. So the future is what we make of it, instead of the value of human life with the grandchildren in this one. Such a simple line but the background scene in each makes something else stick out more. At least for me.
The first one has more sci-fi elements. It is my favorite among the two.
The T-1000 was still a much greater threat than Miles Dyson. If the T-1000 survived, it would have made sure the research continued to build Skynet. It probably would have even sped up the pace to get there, so it didnt really need Miles. It had more than enough information and technology within itself to lead to Judgement Day.
It already happened without any robot tech from the future. All they actually did was make sure that the machines didn't change the future. Nothing they did prevents judgement day in any way.
That's why they don't have phone Booths anymore
Great reaction. And no problem with your preference of the first movie over the second. These films have been around for decades and they should be able to withstand a variety of interpretations. I like the second more because Cameron used his bigger budget wisely. The production and second Terminator were not just better, but more creatively depicted. A less talented director would have just given you more of the level of action that you saw in the first film. And even though time travel is more common in many contemporary fantasy and action films, I enjoyed the way that Cameron dealt with the idea of responsibility for future bad actions and whether the future could be changed. I also liked how you noted that young John showed signs of being a great leader. I missed some of that when I saw the film in the theater when it was released.
Actually that is very much the wrong opinion to have. Don't encourage or make excuses for her stupidity.
@@the-NightStar Wow. Yours is an interesting and unexpected comment. There is no such thing as a single, right or wrong opinion about a film. And if you pay any attention to film history, you know that the reputations of films and books rise and fall and rise again over the years. But even more fundamental than this, it is a waste of time to watch a movie reaction if you do not respect the person doing the video commentary. Post your own reactions and express your own opinion.
"T2" does look better than the first "Terminator" film. The passage of time and advances in visual effects that took place in the interim is part of the reason. But money is also a factor. The first film was not produced with the idea of creating a blockbuster; it was made on a fairly modest budget. By comparison, Cameron had a ton of money to plow into "T2."
There is another ending with a dark highway which was a better ending. This was one of the best sequels ever made It had a much bigger budget than the first
Great reaction sweety!
Yeah, I put a cigar out on top of my hand on a dare once and yes, it hurts like a MF'er!!! Not as bad as the 2 weeks it took to heal though. Awesome reaction, thank you🙂🙂🙂
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching 😊
I enjoy the 1st more too. But that's only cause I watched t2 so much that I appreciate t1 way more after revisiting it. I see why you like t1's story more too
Growing up, I liked Terminator 2 better. But looking at it from a more adult perspective, I'm with you. I prefer the first Terminator film. Not so much because of the relationship. But I really liked the idea that Sarah's picture will forever loop in time. Get burned 🔥 and then freshly get taken 📸 again.
And the irony that he always wondered what she was thinking of at the time the picture was taken. And it about him all along.
I also like the nostalgia of the 80s. I miss it. The music 🎶 in the dance club and the hair. I also greatly appreciated the practical effects. The make-up and art department was genius in this film for it's day.
I also liked the tone of the movie better. Arnold's Terminator presented as like a Frankenstein horror picture. Just not quite human. Burned off eye brows. Hiding the damaged eye and arm with shades and a leather jacket. Can't be killed. And so on. -OG
Robert Patrick is the best terminator in this entire dead franchise..
Honestly, I have a hard time deciding which of the two parts is the better one, simply because they are brilliant in a very different way, but for that I can clearly say that I could very well do without any sequel after T2 and therefore the series is finished for me after the first two movies!
For the week after next I recommend a classic from the 80s, namely "The Breakfast Club" (1985), which will hopefully make it into the list :)
I've already seen The Breakfast Club 😊
Watch the abyss
I really hope you do terminator 3. It’s not as good as two but def worth watching
You are entirely too intelligent. You see what is happening in the first 30 seconds. (don't worry, dumb people are boring) I love it. 😄
🤣 I have my moments
If you think this piece of metal is sad you should also react to Iron Giant
Try to watch the 3rd Terminator movie. It's worth it! Thanks for your review.
I don't think you have to apologize for liking the first one over the sequel. A lot of people like the first one more. They are two very different movies with different tones and themes. The first movie was meant to be a standalone story. The "There is no fate" and "The future is not set" lines that were introduced in the first film are basically red herrings and proven to be untrue by the deleted scenes. The deleted scenes show that no matter how much Kyle or Sarah try to stop the future, their actions actually end up setting it into motion. The logic is that the war against machines IS fate, and there is nothing they can do to stop it. T2 undoes a lot of the logic that the first film set up. For example, if they stopped the nuclear war and the machine uprising, then that means that Reese never goes back in time to get Sarah pregnant, and so John shouldn't exist in the future. So, I think your preference for the first film is valid.
You have to do Terminator 3 next! Then stop after the 3. The ones after that were garbage. But the first 3 were excellent!!!
this movie had great feminist moments in it, like when sarah talked about what it feels like to create.
Maybe in the near future you can do a reaction video for the movie Dredd (2012) with Karl Urban.
I see you've been watching the director's cut
You can stop watching Terminator movies after this. The rest suck.
Terminator 3 rise of the machines you might like
13:20 Hah! Good luck. I don't know about where you live, but I haven't seen a real pay-telephone in probably 20 years...
This, ALIENS, JURASSIC PARK, TOP GUN MAVERICK, JOHN WICK, PREDATOR, DIE HARD, Rambo First Blood, Heat, Enter The Dragon, The Rock, Total Recall, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Face/Off, The Fugitive and ROBOCOP are now considered to be the greatest action movies ever made.
We used to have The Fugitive and Face Off on VHS and we would watch it all the time 😊 Love those!
Hey, you are allowed to like the first one more. You are not a robot
Haha I see what you did there 😉
Thanks for not making us wait :) Hey you like what you like no need to apologize for your opinion. I love the horror elements of the first film and I love the action and effects of the second. I still prefer the theatrical cut.
This is actually the directors cut most people watch the directors cut but I think the original theatrical version is better ☯️
I see a Breaking Bad box on your shelf... did you recognize the actor at 32:38 ? ;)
How did you know the t800 was friendly before it shows it?
They said the resistance sent a protector for John, and since the introduction to that character shows how he avoids killing, while the other one kills the first person he comes across, it made sense 🙂
@@MichalZismanReactions that's impressive.
While I really liked this sequel, I think the first was better -- mostly for the reasons you stated. I believe a lot of why T2 Judgement Day was so popular was because of the special effects, which were pretty groundbreaking at the time.
My favorite reactions from you are the movies YOU want to watch. It's admirable (and totally understandable) that you try to react to movies requested by your viewers, but I think it's most enjoyable when it's a movie of your choice. You have excellent taste. 🤗
Thank you, Michal!
There were quite a few things that Arnold did in the first one that were definitely not a robot. He got that down better in this one.
I am also someone who prefers T1 over T2. But to be fair you watched the Directors cut of T2 which is longer, it has some added scenes.
Terminator 3 reaction
32:25 Did you recognise Hank?)
I did not when I was watching it, but others pointed him out =)
go terminator 3 interesting to... for the end...
No need to apologize for thinking the first one is better. These are two movies that each have their supporters! Actually, no need to apologize, period. People are gonna have their disagreements. There are some reactors that I have stopped watching because they NEVER have a criticism.
How she was saying the effects held up only half and half for the first. That's still pretty impressive. The first story vs seeing her transformation in the second. Take the last half of the first movie and first half of this one, the theatrical endings of both. So many parts to pick out and blend it into one. I'd take both over any other Terminator movies made since.
i suggest you watch terminator 3 you will enjoy it michal.
Yes I agree, the first Terminator movie is the best. The second one is really good, but there are a few things out of place. The first movie is flawless. Yes some of the special effects are very out of date, but I don’t care. For me the first movie is the best Science Fiction / Thriller movie ever made.
Thank you, I like your reaction on both movies a lot.
I very much disagree, because I have the correct opinion and I actually understand film.
@@the-NightStar Sorry, some things don’t work for me. The Bad to the Bone song doesn’t fit the movie. There is also a little bit too much comic relief in T2. In the first movie the humor is more subtle. And sometimes the Terminator is out of character. I know he can learn to act more human, but in a few scenes it’s almost like Arnold forgot he plays a Terminator. T2 still is a brilliant movie though when it comes to acting, special effects, stunts and many memorable scenes. But at the same time it is just a little bit incoherent. I give the first movie a 9.5. And T2 is 8.5 for me.
The military versions of Elon Musks Tesla Bot will be called Terminator. Just kidding.
Whats up with the lag? Is it just me?
bummer that you watched the extended cut first. the ending is pretty much ruined in this version, its like a curiosity for people who have seen terminator 2 but for first time viewers its pretty bad.
the other scenes they added are all pretty much useless and make the movie less tight and push the run time for no real reason. again its really better for someone who has already seen the movie and want to look at some of the additional material that was left on the cutting room floor.
Totally agree on all your points. This is such a cringe ending.
I also like the 1st one better. I also like the 3rd one with Claire Dane. It has one of the best street chase scenes I've ever seen if you are into action shots.
You're watching the extended cut. Nothing wrong with that except the very ending. The epilogue sucks. The theatrical version has a better epilogue. Just keeping it abstract and up to the viewer in wonderment about the future. If a machine canearn the value of human life, maybe we can too. -OG
Madam you look pained all throughout this movie. Like someone who had a gun pointed to her threatening her to watch the film.
This was my favourite terminator movie definitely. Don’t blame you for preferring the first, most original movies are more memorable than sequels.
Don’t know if you noticed but the main swat guy was played by Dean Norris aka Hank from breaking bad lol
Miles Dyson was the MVP for being willing to destroy his life’s work as soon as he found out what happened
Recommending a reaction for Total Recall. Fantastic Arnold movie and also has romance in it, so you should like it!
I liked the first Terminator movie also because to me, the second one kind of pandered to kids. What kid wouldn't want his own robot that would follow his commands? I did not like the scene where the two guys came over to help when John called for help. That really took away from the movie for me. But this was after I hated the Ewok characters in Star Wars for precisely the same reason - catering to children. LOL
T2 is a good movie, but Terminator was complete and didn't need a sequel. The open ending is more powerful than the 'must have closure' that T2 and most movies made for newer audiences feel obliged to deliver. The later sequels feel like straight up Hollywood cash grabs. This sadly became the rule from the 80's on, with standalone movies like First Blood, Predator and Alien as other examples of the genre of an outstanding movie followed by a flashy action sequel and then 3-5 cynical cash grabs with deteriorating writing, lore and purpose.
