Watched Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

[CuntFucker .]

It kind of ruled. The first half is great, the second felt a bit too long. Liked the non-verbal humor, disliked the verbal humor. They probably overdid it with da humanizing. The new premise was a smart move to get Arnold involved on his terms and Robert Patrick made a fun villain, still not all in with it.

I thought you said you'd seen it already in the T1 thread?

Kind of hard to beat as a pure action movie imo. The effects till hold up pretty well 30+ years later and there's not really any part where it gets boring. The nuke scene is still easily the most faawkin brutal in any movie

Robert Patrick made that movie. That role could've easily sunk the whole thing by being too wacky, acting like an over the top tough guy, or whatever. Basically, what every Terminator thing that came after it did.

The movie was fun, but it bugged me that the whole point of a human terminator was so it could travel through time since only living organisms can time travel then movie 2 a glob of metal time travels

I've seen it on VHS as a kid.

It's especially impressive when you saw him as David Scatino before. The guy should be in more good stuff.

You can’t think too much about any movie with time travel or it just falls apart.

If you don't like Terminator 2, you don't deserve oxygen. It's a masterpiece.

Masterpiece is a fair assessment. I still liked the first one better.

The director's cut is better, get to see Kyle come back in a dream and the ending int he future where Judgement Day never happened. Meant no shitty sequels would be possible.

 

[Juschippinyababe]

One of the best flicks ever.

 

[Riccardo Bosi]

I'm finna watch it again, wish they'd put old movies like this back in theatres instead of new shit

 

[Cuphead]

One of my favorite blockbusters. It's a shame everything else after it sucked dick

The Director's Cut also shows T1000 malfunctioning before the climax. I always wondered when I was a kid why he stopped working all of a sudden the last time he was blown up, and those scenes explained it.

Don't forget the triple-arm scene when the T-1000 is flying the helicopter. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but probably my favorite addition in the director's cut.

 

[Duxbury Dave]

First Rated R movie I saw in the theater as a kid. Couldn't have picked a better one as a 13 year old. Good times.

 

[HH Brother]

I like the scene where the Funster-1000 walks through the bars, funster.

Also the Terminators could just time warp in a gun hidden in their stomach or even a mini-nuke or whatever and use it to blow up Sarah Connor. The Terminator also should have used explosives to kill Sarah or actually shot her point blank instead of across the entire nightclub like a retard with a giant laser sight. These movies fall apart rather quickly when you think about them too much. "The Terminator must have been running on Windows Vista" - Jim Chandler level joke.

I always hated how the Terminator fails to kill a woman and her kid across basically the entire franchise. Cameron did the same thing with the aliens in Aliens where they couldn't even kill a lone child. The Terminators are killing like waves of cops and soldiers. Aliens are killing scientists and Space Marines. But they can't kill little kids.

 

[Stent]

Aliens are killing scientists and Space Marines. But they can't kill little kids.

I give full credit to Requiem for correcting that mistake. They went with not only killing kids in scenes where a lazy writer could've easily let them escape, but also they had the predalien impregnate an already pregnant woman.
