Why does everyone hate this movie? It's almost as good as the first one. With 2 being the best one obviously.
>>
female terminator is a huge downgrade from the t-1000
>>
>>221179372
it's the same movie, again, after the hole that opened in 2 was closed
it doesn't need to exist, it was some hedge fund project to buy the rights and get a return, and this is all before we get into the quality of the movie itself

honestly agree OP, I saw it in theaters in 2003, and while I knew it wasn't as strong as 1/2, it was very decent on its own. Takes itself less seriously than 1/2.

I hated John Connor. The natural progression of his character would be to have him be more like Kyle Reese in Terminator 1. Instead they made him a whiny and weak character. Are you telling me that this man grows up to be like this?

Also Claire Danes character was annoying as hell.

It would be better to have Sarah Connor also in it. You could have a much more emotional climax if she had sacrificed herself to get John into the bunker.

This was a movie made by studio executives, and it feels like it.

Different kinos imho desu. 1 is a horror, like Halloween, with a sci-fi twist. 2 is more of an action based vehicle with a sci-fi element.
I don't care what anyone says too, although it no longer applies, not knowing the T-800 in 2 is the good one until the mall scene is fantastic. It's what makes the scene in the mental hospital so good when Sarah first sees him too.

>>221179422
Who cares? It's an entertaining movie. It's not like the first two were anything other than entertainment slop either.
>>
>>221179503
Yeah yeah after RLM said that every midwit redditor has that opinion now. I recently rewatched 1 and it's really not that great. Solid flick but nothing amazing. 2 is objectively the superior movie.
>>
>>221179372
The movie poster looks cluttered and Arnold looks like he's about to smirk. The movie itself is worth a watch but lacks the dark suspense of the first two.
>>
>>221179602
the biker bar scene is comedic and makes it pretty clear that T800 isn't the bad guy

I agree but I wouldn't look down at anyone for preferring Judgement Day as it has the better production values and still has an excellent story. The same goes for Alien and Aliens.
>>
>>221179372
Because it's bad movie? A bad version fo the previous movie? The story ended with the previous good movie and it's now resurrected just to add lame shit?
Turning IPs into undead IPs should be considered a crime

Terminator has better pacing and a far better plot than 2. The first movie has the perfect execution and the twists and themes are far stronger. I get why people love Judgement day. It over all has far better effects, cinematography, and acting overall but the story is just a little too half baked for my liking even with the clever twists it takes on the original.

The Terminator is a great movie and the meat of Terminator, it does all the heavy lifting plotwise and lorewise. T2 is a great sequel that builds on the previous great movie.
T1 is a great scifi thriller. T2 is a great action movie.
That's all.

And same for Alien - Aliens (theatrical only)
>>
>>221179578
John in Sarah Connor Chronicles is probably the best post-T2 interpretation of him, it's him at roughly the same age as he is in T3 but you get to see him still trying to maintain some semblance of a normal life in between being on the run from Skynet.
It's also really the only plotline that is in any way remotely satisfying after the shitshow that was every other movie after T2. Shame we didn't get a third season with more future war kino but what we got was pretty good.

this scene alone puts it above everything except 1

this
1 is a good flick that doesnt waste your time on terrible characters like connor
also terminator being castrated pussy in 2 so it can be pg 13 movie was such a bad decision

They made Nick Stahl look and dress like Kyle Reese instead of half Mexican like T2 John, the execution was off but they had the right idea
>>
>>221179663
He basically cripples at least two guys in that scene, if they didn't have Bad to the Bone playing in the background once he steps outside it'd be a lot more effective in keeping it ambiguous.

>turns out skynet actually sent around three dozen terminators before the resistance stopped it
>one of them kills John but it doesn't matter because there's already another future with a different rogue AI sending different killer robots
>all that changes is the terminator feels bad about it which goes against the director's cut chip scene from T2
It's a terrible fucking movie and this scene is only in it for shock value, nothing more.

T1 - Good sci-fi horror flick.

T2 - Truly great action filick which character development out the arse.

T3 - meh sequel with no truly new ideas or character shit really at all. Just superficial copy of T2 and perfunctory on just about every level. Pity. It could have been so much more. I thought the TX was relatively well cast, and female terminator could have actually been more interesting than she was if she was interacting with people more.

Would have done a pottery rhyme thing where she goes to the cops and plays the victim. Like the TX specialises in deception/manipulation using female appearance. Like John Connor is her abusive ex-boyfriend, fakes injuries using memetic polyalloy to trick them into locating/chasing him. Would be a good way to use Silberman again. Like he's getting his confidence back and then the bitch he's victim counselling turns out to be another fucking killer robot. This time she wipes out a station full of cops getting out of it because she hears they located John. A million different directions you could go in terms of characters and pottery shit.
