The_Popo 03/16/25 12:50:29 AM #6:	You can still enjoy T2 on its own, but there is a lot of stuff that would be going over your head without you even realizing it. Theyre both great movies. Id say just watch them both. T1 is a good movie that is drenched with some 80s cheese.

T1 was in 1984 with a significantly smaller budget, and it shows in several moments. Particularly, ~~during the scene where the Terminator's eye is out, it jarringly goes from an animatronic and then back to Arnold when the sunglasses are back on.~~ It's still my favorite movie ever, so I can get past it, but I also have to be honest about its flaws. <cite>Will_1231 posted [p:984453673] in Do I need ...

JustaSandwich 03/23/25 4:45:06 PM #45:	It's a direct continuation of the story that resolves (and heavily references) the conflict started by the first one, plus it completes the protagonist's personal character arc that was started in the first one. Fucking yes you should watch both (and then never watch any other Terminator movie after that). <cite>JustaSandwich posted [p:984453767] in Do I need ...
