T2 >> TS >>> T1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> T3 (piece of shit)
this movie isn't like T2 in that it has appeal in the sense of drama/emotional depth, but its fun as fuck. Siskel used to say a good movie has 3 good scenes and no bad ones. Well, this has atleast 5 great ones and my complaints are minimal. Go see this shit!

Ok, just saw it. Actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Not as good as 2, but way better than T3.
I quoted you because now I'm actually stunned by your opinion. I get why a lot of people born after T1 came out prefer T2, but to say that Salvation is better than T1 really makes me think that you don't understand why T1 was so great to begin with. Think of T1 as the Sgt. Peppers of Sci-Fi action thrillers. Maybe the people that love it love it too much and maybe it is overrated, and if you want to say The White Album is better than Sgt. Peppers that's one thing, but you're calling McCartney's Ram album better than Sgt. Peppers and that's just absurd.

Well, I won't call it a better film - but I do enjoy it more.

You only saw it once a few days ago and already you're making a claim that you enjoy it more. To each their own. You must really not like T1 that much. Just a question, what did you think of Blade Runner (the real version that came out as the director's cut)?

I've only seen it once a couple years ago - it was the version with the narration (which IIRC is the shitty one?) and I didn't like it.

The one with out the naration is the good one. But if you only saw it once and didn't like it I'm starting to see where you're coming from. You don't seem to have developed a taste for the pre-Reagan films. The post-Regan Sci-Action films were flushing money down the toilet trying to look better than eachother, and using very basic plot by numbers to sell the stories. Originality was gone. The coolness was replaced with conformity. T2 was the best of it's type, maybe, but it's type wasn't that great. I just never bought into the whole heart of the characters. If want that, which I do much of the time, I'll watch real movies like Driving Miss Daisy.
It's like being a fan of White Snake or Motley Crue and thinking Iron Maiden isn't all that special. You just don't get metal. Even in the bad version Blade Runner is one of the greatest sci-fi films ever released.
herpes:
I haven't seen the flick but I read one of the reasons the movie sucks is b/c of Christian Bale. The original script only gave John Connor about 3 minutes of screen time and was going to focus more on that marcus guy and kyle. McG wanted Bale to play Marcus but I guess being familiar with the franchise insisted on playing John Connor and he wasn't happy with the 3 minutes of screen time. So they re-wrote the movie to include John Connor more while trying to stay true to the original script and it basically became a clusterfuck.
EML:
I thought it was a good lots of action.
And has any one seen T2 ultimate edition (or something like that) It comes with
3 versions of it and for one of them. you need a code to watch it has any seen it?
