Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2001)

There is only one way of describing this film, classic and anyone who has seen it wil probably say the same. The second, however is rubbish, what with sarah being a hardened psychopathic danger to society! Well I am here to talk about the first. Firstly, the Terminator to me is the scariest character I have ever encountered. Forget the trashy Michael Myers and the pathetic "Scream" mask, sheer horror for me comes from the conscience-less face from Schwarzenegger, it was such a shame that he was a good guy in the second because Patrick is a wannabe. The effects were very cheap as we much forget that the first was very budgeted. People are annoyed that there is no CG like the second, but we must remember that that technology was only begun when the second was released 6 years later.****spoiler*** Here is one of my favourite parts of the movie: (Arnold is in the police station) Arnold:"I'm a friend of Sarah Conner, I was told she would be here, could I see her please?" Officer:"Yeah, she's still bein' questioned by the police, it could be a while,you should take a seat." (Arnold scan measurements of the room and then leans toward the officer) Arnold: I'll be back!
At that Arnold leaves, comes back crashing through the door and destroys the room and kills 17 cops while looking for Sarah. A classic scene and where Arnold first said those famous words. So altogether, The Terminator is the best film I have ever seen.
