Movies Terminator 2: Judgement Day > The Terminator

Love the first one. Great pacing and 80's feel buuuuuuuut T2 is too badass and epic.

I think that's the standard opinion

I prefer the first one now. The low budget helps the atmosphere and gives it a cyberpunk feel.

In other news, Salma Hayek is more attractive than John Madden

This take is so controversial, it should be moved to the War Room.

I actually prefer the original but what will be your next controversial opinion/hot take? That Aliens is better than Alien?

 

[Tebowned]

I prefer Alien over Aliens and T2 > T1 but they're different movies. Terminator and Alien is sci-fi horror and Aliens and T2 are action movies.

T2 is cinema perfection. It's literally one of the best sci Fi movies of all time.

People love to say that Arnold can't act. But hell if T2's ending doesn't get me right in the feels.

The Terminator denying his own humanity while simultaneously displaying it. Sarah Conner's quiet appreciation. John losing the only father figure he ever knew.

So beautifully done.

This 100% I agree with. The first Alien film is legendary and it alongside Blade Runner are what made me fall in love with the sci-fi genre

On Reddit it's the quite the contrary

On Reddit it's the quite the contrary

Seriously?

Well I guess that's why we post here

I like the dark horror vibe and aesthetic of T1 the best, but the overall action of T2 is damn great. It's hard to choose. I rate them both a 10/10.

 

[revoltub]

I think it's about as even as you can get. Depending on my mood it can go either way. T1 definitely has more grime to it and t2 has more sense of adventure imo.

Id say Terminator 1 is better during the fall or winter season. T2 is better during spring or summer.

Hmmm.... Perhaps that's the winning formula. Don't try to follow up a great horror movie with more of the same. Make the sequel an action movie.

Spoiler

or just have James Cameron make your sequel

T1 for me is way better. I honestly would have been happier if It was a standalone film and no sequels at all were ever released.
