Am I the only one who thinks T2 was the last good film in this series?
Since then it has disappeared up it's own arse the time lines and stories are so ridiculous.
Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Dark Fate was pretty good. T3, Salvation, and Genisys were ok. I haven’t outright hated any entries.
Dark Fate was surprisingly really good. Obviously not as good as T2, which was one of the best movies ever made. But still exceeded every expectation I had.
I agree. I think fans are divided over John’s story in the first act: I personally didn’t mind it and thought it was good for Dark Fate to make a clean break, but I can see why others couldn’t get past it.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles was awesome
I loved T3, but I think there are only like 12 other people who feel the same way. I thought the scene at the end where John Conner realizes it's judgement day, and his foretold future is upon him is amazing cinema. It was the perfect culmination to the previous movies. I also really enjoyed how throughout the entire movie you can see Skynet coming online as it knocks out internet connected devices across the planet. It's a brilliant movie with some minor quality issues.
FTFY. Okay, okay, the first film was enjoyable, low-budget sci-fi cheese but you all have to admit there is a world of difference between the first and second movie, a qualitative quantum leap. Then the saga went ahead with bigger budgets and smaller brains. But that's James Cameron for ya.
The was a 7 year gap between 1 and 2. 1 was a bit cheesey but was a pretty solid low-sci-fi for '84s abilities.
The lore itself is uninteresting at this point. The timeline seems done to death and none of it is interesting. I think the core of T2 is a horror movie where you get a nightmarish killer chasing our heroes. I think T2s story and lore works around that core perfectly. The other movies seem to work around a "twist" or some other gimmick that the core feels missing or inadequate.
