Sci-Fi Terminator 1, 2, & 3: Review and Discussion Thread

[Spider-Fan]

It's not a shame, it's for the best. This franchise had 2 special movies, and then it became a cheap tag to sell to the mainstream public and way to sell action figures. Quality has become secondary to WB and the people involved, so there is no way Cameron would have the freedom to do what he wants with it even if he wanted to continue it. WB doesn't want R-rated tentpoles anymore

Cameron had it right, this series ends with 2. He ended his story, and that's what a true artists knows: when to end the story. Sadly, artists don't work on these anymore, and the franchise has suffered greatly from it.

I thought this thread could use some avvy's so I put together a few. It took me about a week to get most of these done, so if you all really like them then I'll go ahead and put together some of the ideas I had for the first film (and more T2's since there's soooo much that can be done from that one haha) Hope you all enjoy (all up for grabs so have at 'em)

Yeah, I rewatched T2 the other day as well. Amazing action and effects, decent score, cheesy as hell everything else, and Hamilton's acting is just all over the place. And young John Connor may be THE most annoying character ever created who isn't Jar Jar Binks.

i watched the first terminator movie again. and i noticed that in the beginning he has a little longer hair. in the bar where sarah is he still has longer hair. after he jumps on the car he has short hair.

Ahhhh JaD, I might have to get rid of DP for one of your avvies! How can you do this to me!!!

that's because when he jumps through a fire. and it burns off some of his hair. he's also missing his eyebrows for alot of the movie because of that.

JaD, if you do any Terminator 1 one's, DEFINATELY let me know. Specifically one of The T-800 rising out of the fire!

 

[Spidey 2007]

JaD those are SWEET, Id love to see more T2 ones no doubt about it!

I love T1 and T2, but this also has to be said: Terminator 3 rocks.

It is worthy of the 'Terminator' name and has far more soul (and balls) than Salvation.

It's a film that had the stones to go through with 'judgement day', and still found a way to make it seem uplifting and hopeful.

The entire plot, which is a supposed rehash of T2, is such a great red herring that leads up to a fantastic ending.

Stahl's take on Connor was interesting and I feel is intellectually honest. He's a nineteen year old kid, who may be mankind's only hope to an event he and his mother may have already prevented. What would you do? Where would you go? Plus he's lost without Sarah.

And I'll take the Elton John sunglasses or the T-X's 'o-face' any day over watching Christian Bale (almost literally) chew scenery with his 'bat voice' in the lifeless joke that is Salvation. In fact, I kept waiting for him to deep throat his microphone, "This is John CO-AHHNN-GAHHK-ACK-R!!! If you can hear this, then you're a part of the RES-ISST-AN-GAHH-ACK-ACK!!".......



....You and me man, we are done professioNAAHH-GAHH-LLL-ACK-A-GAHCK!!

*scribbles down* Will do. Yeah if you all really like these T-2 ones then I'll jump on T1 tonight, those took me a few days to get done but I'll maybe try to work faster on the T1's if you like them.

I dont mind waiting at all, specially if it has Kyle and Sarah hugging and then The Terminator getting up out of the fire in background, that would simply be amazing!
