One of the all time greats, and not just in the sci-fi genre.  The end scene is awesome.  Now that my son is getting older I am showing him clips and scenes and he is asking all kinds of questions about it.  Im trying to explain the whole T-800 vs T-1000, how they are from the future to protect John Conner and Sarah Connor, etc.  Maybe in another year or so he can watch the entire movie.

I'd give one of my testes to see a PROPER Terminator remake or sequel.  I think Genisys was good and was the best "sequel" but still doesn't come close to T2.  The others were a joke aside from T1.

Sadly, I think it would have to be James Cameron doing the sequel to make it proper, and even then I don't really know of any other actor that can capture what Arnold did for that specific role.

I have the "metal box" director's edition.

Wicked pissa'.  Watch the extended version, so much better.

(edited to add, in each fight they ARE doing damage to the the metal dude)

Shit, now i want to go watch it (again)

One of the best of all time, and I agree completely about seeing the Director's Cut.. it's a much more complete movie.

Or...maybe even James Cameron can screw up a sure bet by getting all SJW with a female dominant cast...

They really screwed up the movie through omitting a couple scenes.

Have you ever wondered why there are several shots of John trying to teach the Terminator things? And then at the end he states that he knows now why he cries?

Outside of that, it's pretty much the perfect action movie.

loved the opening bar scene. He walked in with no fear, no apprehension,no thought of failure as befits a killing machine terminator. The guys who were laughing, werent laughing at the end of that scene, a new apex predator had arrived on earth....

He was getting there with the no killing command.

Terminator would have ignored it. People shot in the knee can still shoot little John in the back. Plus getting shot to shit because you can’t kill means you can’t hide in plane sight because your fucking shot to shit.

But whatever

It occupies a weird position for an awesome movie.

New enough to have good effects, cinematography, audio and overall quality. But old enough to not be relatable to generations of younger viewers as they've never known a world without ubiquitous connectivity.

Note that it had a great official pinball machine too.

I'll argue that both T3 and Alien 3, while falling far short of their predecessors, are better movies than they're given credit for.

Everything after T1 is prostitution of the storyline for money.

T1 was very clear that the timeline was closed and there was no changing it.
T800 looking for pins in the legs of other Sarahs to provide positive ID, not knowing the pin was the result of blowing up the T800 at the end
Reese being sent back by John knowing that he was sending his father back to meet his mother, and to die, thus giving him the photo
The guys finding the T800 microchip at the end using it to create Cyberdyne.

Alien 3 was a disaster as released to the theaters.  There's  no viable way for the impregnation that leads up to the start of the movie or the dog afterward (supposed to be the Yak looking things).

The director's cut is much better.  A lot is filled in that's missing from the original cut that in my opinion needed to be there.  It deserves it's bad rep, still mops the floor with that abortion of a movie that was Resurrection.

I thought two was better than one ever since I was a kid.  Everything was bigger, more polished, Arnold got to be a good guy.

But over the past 5 years or so I've moved into the camp where T1 is the best.  I still love T2, THAT's how you do a sequel (just like Aliens---James Cameron knows how to make a sequel apparently) and it definitely ushered in a new age of summer blockbusters.

My daughter is 5 and loves pretty much all of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies I grew up with.  Ironically, T1 is also her favorite.  She cries at the end of T2 so I think that's why she doesn't like it as much.

I always thought T1 was brilliant in how it handled the time paradox.

The loop with John giving Kyle the picture that he falls in love with (ironically she is thinking of his death in that picture) and then goes back in time and fathers him as well as the T-800 being crushed at Cyberdyne makes it very apparent that you cannot change time.

The deleted ending of T2 shits all over this, which I'm assuming is why it was deleted.  I don't know if you've seen it---it is in the far future and Sarah is at the park from her dreams and John is an adult and Judgement day happens.

However, that scene was removed.  T2 ends with Sarah and John assuming they've prevented Judgement Day but for all we know it will still happen.  If Cameron himself had made T3 I am willing to bet it would have been revealed that they did nothing to delay Judgement Day during the events of T2.

T3 was like a worse copy of T2, somehow it managed to mimic it so close yet get things so wrong. I will agree that Alien 3, while not a great film, is not given enough credit as at least being a solid film.
