There is definitely a bit of corniness in some parts but it's almost the perfect movie. Can't believe anyone rates 2 over it.

I just watched T2 again and am convinced that it's one of the most well-made movies ever. That said, I still prefer the grit of the original.

Fuck you, awwss-hole

Arnie in the 80s/90s was so damn good. Best action star ever. And one of the unlikeliest career arcs in human history.

The scene where he busts into the police station and starts gunning down all the cops in the dark is so iconic. Arnold really should have done more villain roles

T2 is such a great sequel though.

Need a movie that conclusively ends the series and skynet.

I prefer the grittiness of the first movie. T2 is basically an R-rated kids movie.

It's the art direction that makes it better than the 2nd for me. So many shots and sets that are great. The shot of the infiltrator's red eyes when Sarah is dreaming is one of my favorites in any movie.

For better or worse, I have a cousin who memorized the "dialogue" from that scene. Groans and all.

Both T1 and T2 are so different that I can't choose between the two. One is more like a slasher movie, the other is straight up 90s sci-fi action

Both are masterpieces IMO

I like how abrupt Kyle's death was at the end. No slow motion, no last words, no flashback, no dramatic scenes between the two leads. Just gone like that.

And then the T-800 crawls over his body, something hed die to stop from happening. Except hes already dead and now has no agency, which is fucking demoralising.

Call me a prude all you want, but that seggs scene was totally unnecessary. I mean it just kills the pacing. Cameron was a perv for directing it. I can just imagine how things were on set.

T1 felt to me like a carryover of the 70s scifi dystopian movies.

T2 was probably one of the best action movies of the 90s. Id for sure rate t2 higher personally, but t1 has a grittiness and feel that t2 just doesnt have.

T1 also had this element of being realized as a romance under the horror and action.

Both are great movies, but very different despite being of the same series. It should have ended at T2.

Call me crazy but that scene was absolutely necessary. Obviously it's the precursor to John's existence but it's meaningful because as Kyle points out, he doesn't know what love is because of the hell on earth he comes from, where every second he's thinking about how to survive. So that scene IMO was emotional and powerful and not a throwaway scene of people having sex just because. Honestly I can't even think of a sex scene in any movie that was as intricate to the plot and yet pure emotion.

T2 is best sci-fi action movie ever made.

Sure T1 is good but T2 is by far the better for the two.

Cameron should have just left the franchise as is after T2
