One of the Greats

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2015)

What I love about this is... everything really. The catchphrases, the kid that isn't annoying as s**t, and of course the Terminator himself. The first film rocked and intrigued me. There isn't much to say that hasn't been said.What I like is how many times you can just sit back and watch it. It's always entertaining.
I'll try to explain why this works in the way I do best: comparisons. What did this get right that Terminator 3 didn't? The story. Terminator 2 feels pretty conclusive but a story can be pulled out of anything. What makes Terminator 2 stand out is that it offers a triumphant, yet a little down ending. Terminator 3 just feels down. Terminator 3 doesn't have a niche going for it.
Terminator 4 just feels blah. It looks even more boring than Transformers. Terminator 4 is just something you forget about. Terminator 2 sticks out because of its epic tone and heart. Terminator 4 offers nothing. Not a niche. Not a soul. Not even fun action. Terminator 2 you can just chill and watch stuff blow up while also cracking a smile at the remarks.
What makes this stand out from all the Transformers flicks is the fact that the action is intense.The action is everywhere to the point where you don't know what's going on. Terminator 2 let's you see what's happening and it let's you know how it feels!
Why Terminator Genisys or whatever it's called is going to suck because you can see it's trying to look and feel like the second one. They've got all the lines and they've got all the gimmicks in the trailer. But what are gimmicks are merely gimmicks. The people who made Terminator 2 knew it would work because it was different and exciting. You know Terminator Genisys won't work because the creators are just relying on something that they know has worked before but don't really know why. And to be honest, Terminator 2 is conclusive.
