I recently watched this amazing film - still Incredible, still better than anything Hollywood is making these days


If you look and the care, attention and craftsmanship of T2, it is still is miles above anything Hollywood is making these days. So much talent and competency on screen here. Thank you James Cameron!

reply

I have it on Blu Ray and yes, it's still an amazing movie and really, they should've stopped after that one

reply

You see the difference immediately in T3. It falls short...on everything.

reply

I watched the first 3 a year ago with the plan to do a full rewatch.

Weirdly T3 felt dated compared to T2. I think it was a car chase where it felt very special effects heavy, video game like even.

T2s action feels a lot more real, possibly due to a lot more physical effects rather than special effects.

reply

This is why CGI is fucking bullshit and should barely ever be used alongside live action.

reply

Yes, great movie.

But the sloppiness in Hollywood has been happening for a long time now, they figured the viewers don't really care about details, so they just make it louder and stupider. And it works! (see any Jurassic Park/Transformers/superhero crap they churn out...)

reply

except transformers 1 was a teen action adventure masterpiece. nobody would even give two shits about transformers if michael bay didnt make it that good.

reply

That's what watching films from Hollywood's greatest era (70s to early 90s) will do to you. They just made them differently back then. Everybody with talent at their peak. It's a different experience compared to everything else.

reply

I’d stretch that to mid-2000’s, you need to include The Matrix and some of Spielberg’s great later-sci-fi like Minority Report and War Of The Worlds.

reply

I’d stretch that to mid-2000’s


Not if you're talking about the most iconic films. And I mean films with fantards having mental breakdowns when you criticize their movies, films embedded in pop culture with merchandise, conventions etc.

Stuff like Star Wars, Godfather, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Aliens, Indiana Jones.

There is nothing like that era, specifically the 80s

reply

If you’re shifting the goal-posts from ‘great’ to ‘iconic’ then The Matrix certainly falls into that category, it stole all of George’s Star Wars thunder in ‘99.

reply

The Matrix is certainly iconic but films of that kind were few & far between post 80s.

reply

The 90’s was the best decade for films and was packed with iconic movies - T2, Jurassic Park, The Matrix to name but 3.

reply

The original Matrix is the only one regarded as a classic and that came out in 99. And War Of The Worlds represents one of the things that went wrong with Hollyweird.

Everything having to be taken so seriously and hitting you over the head with deep themes and meanings because of 9/11.

reply

There’s nothing ‘wrong’ with WotW, it’s a superb adaptation of the classic H G Wells novel and all of the serious horror that entails.

reply

It's shite

reply

There could be no greater review for a film than having a markless shitstain with minus taste such as yourself calling it ‘shite’.

reply

Says a Trump supporter😂

reply

Says a Kamala-licker 🤣

reply

Huh? I don't do politics. All politicians are worthless. A bit your liike your life😂

reply

…which is why you just forced politics into a discussion which had nothing to do with it. You’re full of shit.

On to the list you go… https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/66bff21be2b59409e700e862/If-Moviechat-was-Shawshank-prison

reply

Jesus Christ, you actually do lists as well as getting upset about someone calling a Tom Cruise film shit? Don't worry mate, one day you'll lose your virginity and broaden your horizons😂

reply

Yeah, I’d probably lash out with epic butthurt and obvious projection too if I’d just made a massive prick of myself 🤣

Come on kiddo, what else you got…

reply

"Butthurt". And I'm the kiddo? You sad bastard😂

reply

Come on kiddo, I know you can do better than ‘sad bastard’ 🤣 Throw another of your ickle punches…

reply

I don't need to do better than that. You make lists for people on a site with hardly any traffic who calls films you love shit.I don't need to do better than that😂

reply

First you humiliate yourself with your retarded and obnoxious basic bitch film ‘opinion’.

Then you fall flat on your face exclaiming that you ‘don’t do politics’… immediately after introducing politics into a discussion where it had no relevance 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Then you throw some of the most laughably pathetic insults in the history of internet chat boards 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now you reveal that you have no idea what the list you’ve just joined is about 🤦🏻‍♂️

The cringe is almost painful. If you weren’t such an obnoxious prick I’d pity you, but since you are it’s more fun watching you try to dig yourself out of the humiliation pit you’ve landed yourself in.

So don’t disappoint, throw some more of your ickle punches while I hold you at arms length 🤣 Come on kiddo, go for it!…

reply

An essay?I didn't touch a nerve did I😂

reply

Nice little swing there kiddo 👏🏻🤣 Come on, give it another go, better luck this time!…

reply

Are your feelings still hurt😂

reply

No wonder you call yourself ‘HellFire’ with sick burns like ‘Are your feelings still hurt’ 👍🏻🤣

Come on, take another little swing, this is priceless 🤣…

reply

[deleted]

Says the poster who uses "butthurt" and "cringe"😂

reply

Fuck me, you deleted your first reply because it was too cringe even for you, then tried again 🤣

You’ve got guts kiddo. From ‘I don’t need to do better than that’ to still desperately trying to land a blow 🤣

Don’t stop kiddo, this is gold!…

reply

Cringe and kiddo in the same sentence. You're definetly not a middle aged loser trying to be cool😂

reply

Bahhaaahaha!! Come on, keep stabbing in the dark there kiddo, maybe you’ll land one 🤣…

reply

A Trump supporter who had a meltdown about a Tom Cruise film. This has been priceless. I can't to show people the screenshots😂

reply

I can't to show people the screenshots


What? 🤣

Come on, new kid, don’t screw up your grammar while you’re beating your little chest, show everyone 🔥HellFire🔥 is in town 🤣

Let’s see another ‘sick burn’🤣…

reply

I missed a word out while getting distracted while you'll always be the Trump supporter who got upset about a Tom Cruise film😂

reply

It’s adorable watching you try to use ‘Trump supporter’ as an insult, along with liking ‘a Tom Cruise film’? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Confused little shitstain aren’t you?

Come on, try to land that sick burn again
🔥Hellfire🔥, don’t get ‘distracted’ again 🤣…

reply

[deleted]

Shitstain was your first insult well over an hour ago. Maybe you'll widen your range when you eventually leave your house😂

reply

Deleting your own shit reply out of cringe again, huh kiddo?

I hope this is your first rodeo, it’s fucking embarrassing 🤦🏻‍♂️

You’re a new kid who waded into this conversation swinging your little balls with your obnoxious ‘it’s shite’ take, and then fucked up at every turn trying to protect your ego, tripping over your own nursery-level English (I hope to Christ it’s not your first language), contradicting yourself, and deleting your own posts with embarrassment, falling flat on your face over and over.

What an absolute fucking dildo 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now piss off and think about what you’ve done, kiddo.

reply

It's terrific. It still holds up so incredibly well.

reply

Not even James Cameron was able to make a better movie than T2!

reply

He couldn’t even make a better movie than T1

reply

You're absolutely right, both T1 and T2 are on par with each other, both movies are equally excellent and executed sci-fi masterpieces!

reply

T1's better. Edward Furlong's a pain in the ass, and Schwarzenegger was a better villain than Robert Patrick.

reply

I'm watching this right now and it's just about over. I watched the SPECIAL EDITION that's like 20 minutes longer I think, but still a great movie and should've stopped right here.

reply

And I love the Guns & Roses Soundtrack
