Why do people like The Terminator so much?

[SSSnail]

It was a crappy movie. Same plot 4x in a row.

 

[lxskllr]

Never seen it

 

[zerocool84]

Because the Governator is hot.

 

[Platypus]

 

[Printer Bandit]

Time travel

 

[Braznor]

The beef rules the box office.

It glorifies the ego (always works when done right) and also self sufficiency.

 

[Subyman]

I don't care for the movie either.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'm fascinated by the idea of a self-aware AI gone haywire. The most unbelievable thing about the terminator movies is that humanity wins in the end, or even puts up a fight at all. Seems like such a thing would advance in power and intelligence so rapidly that it would quickly become invincible.

0/10

BTW any coupon codes for dem herbs?

 

[Thebobo]

Because at the time it was awesome

 

[Naer]

T2 was way ahead of its time

 

[Ichinisan]

T2 was way ahead of its time

This.

 

[AgentUnknown]

T2 was better than the drivel that was back to the future. Peeps getting butthurt over BTTF

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Because they fail to recognize the superiority of predator.

 

[Train]

T2 was a great movie.

The rest were pretty lame IMO.

T1 was the best by a long shot. T2 was all about the liquid metal special effect and Arnie turning friendly, but was not bad overall.

T3 was a watchable but uninspiring popcorn flick, and T4 was utter drivel.

 

[purbeast0]

t2 is up there as one of the greatest movies of all time.

 

[nickbits]

First one was terrible imho. T2 was good, the others meh

 

[Ruptga]

It was a crappy movie. Same plot 5x in a row.

:awe:

OK, of course I've watched both multiple times:

T1: 4x
T2: 3x
Didn't bother with T3.

Rotten Tomato rankings last time I checked:

T1: 8.6/10 ... 30 fresh / 0 rotten
T2: 8.4/10 ... 25 fresh / 1 rotten

Those are high rankings.

It's been observed that the theatrical cuts are definitely superior to the director's cuts for these films.

IIRC, T1 put Arnold on the map, set up his huge career in the movies. The history of how it came to be made is an interesting read.
