Nice to see some love for Terminator 2. I think the reason T2 works is that (aside from the obvious, now traditional, Terminator Big Truck Chase), it doesn't try to duplicate the original in tone or style. It's a big, overblown action/adventure movie rather than a small, taut suspense-horror film like T1, and that's usually what people criticise, but it does its thing ten times better than any other big overblown action/adventure you can name.

Agreed. An action movie can be an awesome movie *because* it's both awesome and stuff blows up. Die Hard for example.

I have such a guilty live of the Die Hard movies. Die Hard 3 completes me.

I completely agree. I tend to be one of those who snootily dismiss big budget action-adventures, but I adore Terminator 2. It's thrilling, well-paced, fun and scary. I adored it as a child and I love it now.

I've probably seen it more times than any other movie (or it's neck-and-neck with Interview), and I'm really happy that it still holds up for me.

I get excited whenever it's on TV.

Actually, I think I'm going to stream it tonight. I really do love that film.

(We so need to have a watch together sometime!)

OMG YES.
