Man, Terminator 2 was so ahead of its time

[state 08]

In terms of Visual Effects, Story and Acting.

Still holds up very well to current movies!

I agree with you on all other points, but acting? Really?

Yeah! I was watched Speed the other day for the first time in a long time (about 10 years), and the acting/lines were so cheesy.

I didn't feel that way with T2 so much. Save for maybe a few of John Conner's line.

Pretty much paved the way for modern CGI.

I like them both. It's not a competition.

Everything's a competition.

Haha, I win!!

T1 to T2 is sort of like Aliens 1 to Aliens 2.

The first in each series were dark, sci-fi/horror flicks. The second ones were straight up action.

Good call. That is definitely why I enjoy T1 over T2. I really like Alien, but have not seen the second one, so cannot comment on the differences.

you really need to watch A2 and 3 if you have not seen them

A3 is more like A1 and IMO is just as good

T1 is an awesome story line and for its day, it had pretty good special effects.

And yes, T2 had good acting. I think both did. There weren't really any cheesy scenes in either.


POLL?!?!?!?!

I saw Speed in the movie theater when it first came out. I thought it was an excellent action movie and still think that. It's not the smartest film I've ever seen but it beats the pants off of most action movies. Am I the only one?

I agree.

T2 is still a badass movie, though.

 

[imported_Imp]

It was one of the biggest influences of my childhood, which is really messed up.

:thumbsup:

the acting really wasn't that bad, I thought.

I miss the good James Cameron. Hopefully, some day, he can rise up again and destroy the evil James Cameron.

I just realized something.....is this why the Glau terminator character in the current series is named Cameron?

the first is great for what it is. Especially when you consider how good it was for being on a shoestring budget.

But that damn midi soundtrack has got to go!
