Assuming you're being legit, trailers don't count for anything, ever.

Nothing in T2 is on par with the moment when the Terminator exoskeleton emerges from the fire and continues to hunt down Kyle and Sarah in T1. Also, obviously, T1 has a better love story. While you may say that's not comparable to T2, Sarah + Reese > Arnie + John.

Endoskeleton, fuck.

"The Terminator" didn't have a ten-year-old kid ruining every scene he was in.

why?

i liked the first one so much more
>>
>>69676313
Also let's not forget that T1's time travel story made sense within its own rules.
It established that Kyle got sent back in a narrow time window to still be able to alter the effects of Skynet's time fuckery, and undo it, leading the timeline back to the same version of itself in which Kyle got sent back, a timeline in which this was Skynet's last desperate attempt, after which it was defeated.

From T2 and so forth, the entire franchise just keep shitting on everything previously established, to the point where the very act of time travel is completely meaningless, because apparently Skynet wasn't actually defeated when it deciced to alter the timeline, it was just fucking around. And apparently, even after you supposedly alter time and as a consequences supposedly change the future, you can still send back stuff from years further in a future that isn't supposed to exist anymore.

can you explain how you enjoyed aliens more than alien?

it just doesnt make sense to me

T1 is better though
>>
>>69676448
it's not about enjoying... Alien is objectively the better film.

Aliens > Alien
Civil War > Winter Soldier > First Avenger
Empire Strikes Back > A New Hope

>>69676498

i prefer alien but what do you mean "objectively" ??
>>
>>69676362
>>69676448

The whole Alien vs. Aliens thing is so contentious because the movies are different genres with different feels. Alien is more of a horror movie, Aliens more an action movie. They're both amazing movies, but when I'm in the mood to watch Alien I'm in a way different mood than I would be to watch Aliens.

Die Hard 1 is GOAT, 3 is solid but the ending feels like a stretch. McLane went full on Sherlock and deduced the main villain's where about from a spent asprin bottle and teleported there with a whole army.

Also kids' (nerdy kids' at that) puzzles

>>69677166
I still don't fucking understand the water jug puzzle and I never will.
>>
>>69676448
I think Alien is a fantastic movie. I love the production design, the sets, the creatures, the score, the characters, the whole movie is just very well done, and altogether probably my favorite science fiction film of the 1970's, but I just don't find it as frightening of a horror movie as I do find Aliens as exciting of an action movie.

Fill 5 Gallon
Fill 3 Gallon with 5 Gallon Bottle
2 Gallon left in 5 Gallon
Empty 3 Gallon
Pour 2 Gallon into 3 Gallon Bottle, leaving room for 1 Gallon
Fill 5 Gallon again. top off 3 Gallon Bottle
Leaving 4 Gallon in the 5 Gallon Bottle
>>
>>69677238

ok fair enough

i guess i just instinctually see the horror genre as inherently superior to the action genre, maybe thats not fair to aliens
>>
>>69677300
Alternatively,
Fill 3 Gallon, pour 3 gallon into 5 Gallon Bottle
Fill 3 Gallon again, top off 5 Gallon, leaving 1 gallon in 3 Gallon Bottle.
Empty 5 Gallon
Pour remaining 1 Gallon into 5 Gallon Bottle
Fill 3 Gallon and pour into 5 Gallon Bottle

1+3 = 4 Gallon

T2 is good, it's a solid action movie that had 'at the time' revolutionary CGI, and it has great moments throughout. But it's not better than Terminator...say what you will about 80's hair and clothing or whatever but it just feels terrifying.

T1>T2>everything else can fuck off
>>
>>69677455
T2's at the time revolutionary CGI still holds up remarkably well.

Also most of what you think is CGI, isn't
>>
>>69677593
Yeah T2 holds up great. Also I know what is and is not CGI, anybody could.
>Metal man flowing through a hole in a helicopter windshield...CGI.
>Metal man walking through fire...spliced footage.

It's not hard, bro.

Nothing in T2 is on the same level as the Tech-Noir scene.

Yeah. T1 does a fantastic job of making you feel terrified of this killing machine. T2 is just a great action flick similar to Commando and the like.

T2 is still a masterpiece, but as I've gotten older, I've found T1 to be far better.

wtf how are all of you beta phaggots not mentioning godfather 2

is /tv/ really a board full of normies?
>>
I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it "the terminator". First I crouch down in the shower in the classic "naked terminator traveling through time" pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy. I think maybe I read too many comic books when I was a kid.
>>
>>69684246

Godfather 2 is inferior
>>
>>69683928
Yes, by the time the second one was released terminator has already become a culture icon and the second was partially a caricature.
>>
The Dark Knight

Pirates of the Caribbean 2

>>69684410

This board is so full of shit.

Literally the only thing wrong with this tasty pasta, is that the far superior Robocop is not the creator's cyborg idol.
