The first was more raw, more surprising (we hadn't really seen very good time-line-movies until then..), highly original, more dark, it had Michael Biehn en Lance Hendriksen, and it had an untrained (acting-wise) Arnie, which actually made him believable in the cyborg-character. T2 is good, very good, but certainly NOT better than Terminator. Why do you say that as if it's wrong for someone to think Terminator 2 is better than The Terminator? Anyway, onto my review: The Terminator is a dark, gritty, highly entertaining sci-fi action movie with an excellent story and a great cast. The effects are awesome, the action sequences are exhilirating, and the story is refreshing. One of the things that I love most about The Terminator is that director James Cameron doesn't hold back on the violence. This isn't a movie where innocent people are spared. If you get in the way of the Terminator you're a goner. Not a lot of movies nowadays are like that. Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as the evil Terminator cyborg. This is clearly the character he was born. Equally perfect is Michael Biehn. It always astounds me when watching The Terminator that he hasn't become a bigger star. Linda Hamilton is also good. Although I think the sequel is a tad better, The Terminator still stands as one of the greatest action movies of all time. Final Score - 9.5/10 |
