If we had met and know each other when he was kids, Id let you play with my bio-flesh generator playset. I lived in England when I was little and moved to NZ at the age of 11.

Well..which way would you have it??Silly ending left in or still acknowledge T3 and SALVATION as part of the cannon timeline??I'd rather the silly ending be the only ending as it would spare us T3 and SALVATION.

The t1000 being cut in half by an iron bar was a practical effect, the shot after was cgi

Ollie, Why did you call the T-800 Arnold? Call him by the appropriate titular character OK?

Your Videos are Gold.

LOL!!!!!

Unfortunately, he didn't fare much better in the DC Universe, his son became a cyborg infused with alien technology!

@@oscarstainton and Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) dad in the TV series Scandal. He's a real badass in that.

Ironically they recently started working on AI...

The plan is to get a Dyson vacuum into every home making it easier for Skynet to takeover your home network.

chance webb Damn right.

chance webb it's sad how T genisys takes a major huge dump on t1 and t2

+jltaco85 How so?

+jltaco85 but, hey, it's James Cameron-approved.

+chance webb I agree and disagree. I thought 3 was fun and okay. I think the main issue, was that kid (Nick Stahl) who played John Connor was absolutely terrible. He was weak and a bumbling buffoon, and not the Character John should be. The acting isn't bad per say, and of course Arnold saves the movie. I thought it had some genuine good moments and excellent action scenes. I actually dug Terminator in this one, she was ALMOST as cool as Robert Patrick. Almost. God bless.

@Trololo Inc ® No. His original statement is correct. "You're" implies "you are", which by your logic would mean his statement should read: "You are foster parents are dead." and that clearly does not make logical sense.

@Trololo Inc ® you are dumb

@Trololo Inc ® Yarrr!

@Trololo Inc ® what!?

The T-800 outsmarted the T-1000 in real time.

His brothers the singer of the band Filter.

A truly underrated actor. The dedication and the passion he put in T2 was impressive, and it shows. I always LOVED the moment when he says "no no" with the finger to Sarah towards the end, and how he delivered it. So much menace in a simple gesture.

I hope that I get to meet him.

Hans Gruber aka Alan Rickman. ‘Nuff said.

So the T1000 Got married? Nice one good for him 👌

Will Ferrell Jurassic Park, Star Wars The Original Trilogy and The Lord of the Rings are just as good :D!!! T2 Had some of the best special effects for a fully animated model!!!

Will Ferrell : Absolutely agree!!! I don't even bother going to see any "action" films anymore. All they are are CGI cartoons. No storylines, no character development, too many FAKE car chases and things blowing up. T2 is not only classic, it's epic. Plus, I never tire of looking at Robert Patrick!

Will Ferrell well its the most tasteful use of CGI I know about. Nicely combined with practical effects.

Will Ferrell Wells it's easier to create smooth textureless models It's why the T1000 looks better than the scaled Jurassic Raptors and they in turn look better than the hairy King Kong in Peter Jackson's version. CGI is best used under certain lighting conditions with specific objects not everything like current films feel. Incidentally though a lot of the T1000's scenes are practical e.g Knife hands, Holes in Head and when he gets sliced in half, CGI was predominately used for the morphing shots.

Will Ferrell With a few exceptions, I don't think the cg in T2 aged very well. It was just used sparingly-- the overwhelming majority of special effects in T2 were practical. The movies that replaced practical effects with computers mostly look terrible today

The perfect sequel much better than original by a mile

I'd say it's a masterpiece overall

It's a masterpiece for more reasons than just the action. This is the one Cameron sees when he looks himself in the mirror. It's like QT with Pulp Fiction.

Ceviz He wrote that comment 5 years ago

Nope

33 years later and just watched this with my 11 year old son. His first time watching this classic and personally my fav film of all time

​@@jothishprabu8 🤡

Both of u r wrong, this is my fav movie!

Amazing that a handful of us watched it over and over again as kids and have later found each other on KZfaq. I am a grown man now, and am not shy spilling how much it has truly touched me even to this day.....I could cry.....a pivotal point for the 90's. To this day the best action film of all time.

GrungemanBaby Me to it's mind blowing!!

Fuuuuck meee toooo! I played it on my tiny crt tv /vhs player 3 times a day!!!

My father used to go to Blockbuster every Friday to rent new releases. He would rent Terminator 2 for me, for about 2 years straight.

+Mau Jo The only thing I wish they did when this was coming out originally, was to hide that fact. Unfortunately, it was well-known before the film's release that Arnie was a good-guy this time around and that there was another terminator who was trying to kill John. I would have much preferred seeing this one knowing nothing about that dynamic. Regardless, the movie is terribly entertaining even knowing this going in. I just think it would have had a bigger impact knowing nothing about it.

KabukiKid It would've been a nice twist but given that it's revealed like at the very beginning it would've been hard to do the publicity, i guess.

Mau Jo Yeah, they goofed it far worse with the Terminator Genisys movie, where the one trailer gave away a huge surprise twist that happens later in the movie.

KabukiKid IKR. I actually just saw trailer # 1 and after seeing the movie and seeing trailer # 2 I couldn't believe they were so careless. Trailers these days...

Mau Jo I know. Apparently the director even rejected the trailer, since it had such a spoiler in it and apparently the studio overruled him, if I heard correctly.

Nasorean Thats what happens when you reprogram it

Nasorean my favorite was "why attack russia, aren't they our friends now"...ohhh the early 90's

"In an insane world, it was the sanest choice."

This is why I love this movie, it gets better and better as you think about it.

My personal favorite parallel is just that the movie actually plays it very cheekily with the arrival of the T-1000. It's clearly much slimmer and seemingly weaker than the T-800 (obviously Robert Patrick is way less built than Arnold) It's meant to parallel Kyle Reese, and since the movie only mentions the original terminator from the first movie, and the new terminator, it would lead you to believe that Arnold HAS to be the returning antagonist, only to pull a bait and switch with the reveal that the "weaker" guy is the ACTUAL T-1000. It does a very good job playing with your expectations set by the original movie, by purposely framing the T-1000 as the underdog human like Kyle Reese and The Terminator as the same bad dude as in the original.

beatlecost Well said right there, glad you also included Jurassic Park. Those two films from a special effects standpoint are truly awesome.

I would say that The Lord of the Rings deserves that title. T2 is incredible, but The Lord of the Rings does so much more. It's a grander feat.

My top 2 personal all-time favorite movies!

T1, Aliens and T2 - the holy trinity of James Cameron movies.

Mine too.

@@LuxBellator92 Don't forget True Lies!

I like Alien better than Aliens but Aliens still great. Alien was truer to the Giger vision of the xenomorph as well and more horrifying imho.

Agreed!

I hope you managed to see the re release at the cinema last year. I managed to. I saw it at the cinema when it first came out when I was 12 (parents managed to get me into a 15 lol) Then saw it again when it was released in 3D. Still blown away by it all these years later

His channel has been one of my favorites for years. I agree he should have far more subs.

I agree

Fury Road comes close.

For me, Blade Runner 2049.

Trololo Inc ® I can't even fathom the ignorance of your statement. it isn't fact, if it were fact, then no one would like it. almost all fans of the original like it as much if not more than the original and a lot of people who never saw or didn't like the original enjoyed it. It is a movie that cared about the source material, character development and is widely considered to be one of the most visually stunning films ever made. Out of 58,888 audience votes on Rotten Tomatoes it has an 81% and a 4.5 out of 5 stars average out of 4,764 reviews on Amazon. So no, it isn't imperacle that it is utter garbage just because you don't like it, next time don't misuse the word fact, its embarrassing and clearly wrong and Im sorry you don't have the attention span to appreciate a deep movie that requires the use of your brain.

Trololo Inc ® oh no! that means you're right, the film is garbage now and NO ONE likes it! what an idiot, way to still prove your original comment wrong unlike my initial reply accidentally mixing up the ratings on one page. So you're still saying that more people liked it than disliked it at a 3.5 in favor? Hmm so you're still wrong and still an idiot. Haha call me a liar bc of a simple mix up, love how you ignored the RT score too... Is this where I use the preteen method of typing, "laugh out loud" on here? Wait, that's right, its more fitting for someone who just trolls comment sections like a low life to trash talk peoples opinions, fucking pathetic.

@Rabbit Snare Even great directors & actors can have failures as well. And many don't even expect to become great at either, but end up discovering their true talents.

Beautifully said. I feel the same way.

@@NarekAvetisyan Definitely my favorite movie.

I was 12 when I first saw it...

As cliché as it has become, It truly did change my life. 'There is no fate but what we make' inspired me to make the best of my life, after coming from a broken home.

Well said

Dammit man, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY LIKE THIS?! What do we do to you?

@@commandertorres 😂😂

Terminator should talk like Alf in Home & Away : g'day sheilas , throw a roo on the barbie , mate :p

@@postersandstuff That's Australian!

i didnt really get donny darko

OLIAKOS don't feel bad neither did I .... It was too weird

T2 was the film I liked Edward Furlong in the best. I can see why James Cameron cast him. I see a strong physical resemblance between him and Linda Hamilton.

I have to respectfully disagree. He's the only real flaw with this otherwise fantastic film. His acting is cringeworthy, and the writing of his character is terrible too. The jokes are terrible and don't really fit in either. JC should have been a survivalist kid, not a video game dork with long hair and goofy cracking voice robbing ATMs. Too bad.

@@leadcounsel4869 It was the early 90's. What did you expect?

People want unrealistic "cool strong dangerous-but-they-like-me" heros

His acting sucked, partly due to poor writing for his character. Luckily it didn't ruin the film though.

ScottM1 t1 had a good score too and i will never understand why the sequels dont use the score 🤬

Really? Oliver, is this true?

Oliver is the new Barry Norman. A shame the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 have not discovered him and offered him his own segment or movie reviews show.

Meh, fuck old media.

Christopher Lord i went on it in 2016

It’s closed now sadly. However, a new ride based on the Bourne series will take its place.

@@queencancerous5332 ew, that doesn't sound very entertaining.

I think T1 is also better.. but has it occurred to you that you might have watched T2 too many times dude?

@@RS-do1of that's why he gets bored.....watched it too many times

T2 came out when I was 7, so I didn't get to watch it for a few years until my parents let me and got me a copy on VHS, and I swear I had to have worn out that tape.

Ya for Arnold Schwarzenegger its a toss up with this and Predator.

***** Thank you very much for your kind words and support of my reviews!.

Oliver Harper No problem :)

Oliver Harper Yeah dude im addicted to your channel, im watching every single review by season and im on 7 right now. I just put on your playlists and geek out to awesome movies. You are damn good sir.

CroPETROforeverNBA if you like oliver you should watch george rockall scmidt

RedLetterMedia is a whole different beast than this. RLM knows how to critique a film on its narrative and would lightly touch on execution. OH talks a lot about BTS and execution in a films score and visual effects. It's like saying a channel like Rossatron a channel that studies action is better than George Rockall Scmidt. It is not fair because as you can see each presenter is talking about completely different aspects from film...

I'll watch 2 more, he's gotta a lot of plots to work with

I saw avatar in 3D and got severe motion sickness and a migraine. Thank God I was there with a group of friends, otherwise I was so sick I wasn't able to drive myself home. So, by default I hate that movie.

I feel the same way. I used to argue over which was better, but I now consider to be on the same level. They both have their merits and downsides, but both are unarguably masterpieces of cinema and storytelling.

+khanwarrior99 Nah, T2 is the best.

Empire Strikes Back, Judgment Day and The Dark Knight are among the best films I've ever seen.

practicalmagic9 Thank you very much!

substandardlysubpar username checks out

Mad Max 2 as well

I havent watched in forever. I watch the original at least once a year.

Naw man Fury Road wasn't that good.

MrSilksoul they did, during the movie filming. Much of his dialogue had to be changed and recorded later on once it had settled I believe.

John Connor in the film was supposed to be 10, Furlong was 11 or 12.

I just watched freaking Attack of the Clones, the CG in this movie is much better integrated into the sets in comparison. Back in the days when CG did not effectively turn movies into live-action cartoons.

***** They hold up better than the CG, yeah. Episodes I and II are so boring though. Well they're good for a laugh here and there but otherwise, lol. And the laughs, well they're not for good reasons.

***** Also I didn't think Episode III was much better, despite having fond memories of watching it back when it came out.

***** Never seen any of those. To be fair I kinda want nothing to do with the prequels.

Jim Humphries just like when everyone was saying titanic was going to flop. Just like everyone was saying Avatar 1 was going to flop. Keep hating

I too have my concerns about the Avatar sequels, but they won't flop - they'll make billions (rightly or wrongly). And Cameron is no Lucas, who basically hasn't been a credible film director for nearly forty years, and in that time has only been able to make a decent film by collaborating heavily with others. Cameron's CV speaks for itself and he still has the motivation and inspiration to make further great films. Whether he actually does is another matter, but it's still possible - with Lucas, you just know it isn't.

I think the Avatar sequels may not gross as high as the original for a couple of reasons. One, not many sequels gross more than the original anyway. Also, people have forgotten about the original and it doesn't really come to mind as a modern classic to many; so, when the sequels do come out, people will most likely not care as much.

I think Avatar sequels will do just fine. He established the world in the first one and I think we know that Cameron is good at taking established characters and worlds and pumping out amazing sequels. He is a genius and one of the greatest film makers of our time and he definitely still has a lot to offer. If Avatar 2 will be better than the first one people will go and see another and another.

Avatar is a classic but an Avatar 2 is not necessary. It's good enough as a standalone movie. Where would Cameron take the story though?

Thanks very much, Paul!

Great to hear from fans in France!. Thank you very much for taking the time to view my work and leave your support feedback. I'm all self taught. This KZfaq channel I use to build up my portfolio of work to hopefully get more freelance jobs to help further my career as an editor and critic. :)

Oliver Harper may you do a review on the rest of these movies and the tv show i am real looking forwerd to it ?

~ good choices there but no love for Rocky III, Captain America 2, Godfather 2, Evil Dead 2, Lethal Weapon 2, Die Hard 2, X-Men 2, Mad Max 2, Back To The Future 2, Dawn Of The Dead or For A Few Dollars More? yeah i know its hard to choose only five!! . . .

X-Men 2?....

Derek Woods Not as good as the top five. I actually think that Days of Future Past is better than X2.

~ watched it last night . . . yeah take that one off the list! enjoyable but not as good as i remember. no way top 5 for X-2 . . . still a great opening though!!

jedi fu What movie are you talking about?

Yeah I had the T-1000 that exploded always loved that toy. With my videos I try to capture that feeling of when the film was out. So showing stuff like the toys and video games is a great nostalgic trip ( i hope ) for the viewers.

My favorite terminator toy was the blaster gun but the hand thing was cool looking not sure I ever had the hand one though, but I had something ... it was when I had hope still ... a rare time that.... I think I was under five or six then :(

sycamoreleaves74 Thank you very much!

Edward Furlong is better looking than Jason Clarke. I can see why James Cameron chose Edward Furlong. He looks like Linda Hamilton.

Are you aware that they're making another terminator movie & this time she'll be back?

I have to respectfully disagree. He's the only real flaw with this otherwise fantastic film. His acting is cringeworthy, and the writing of his character is terrible too. The jokes are terrible and don't really fit in either. JC should have been a survivalist kid, not a video game dork with long hair and goofy cracking voice robbing ATMs. Too bad.

@@leadcounsel4869 I have to agree with you, although I don't know if his acting skills were at fault. I just found the character to be annoying and bratty, which may simply be down to the script.

Furlough was the only weak link in both the first two films. He has no acting ability and was a terrible casting decision. This is also evidenced by the fact that he's the only one that didn't have a stellar career afterward. Michael Biehn got screwed in his career, but everyone knows his talents (Aliens, Terminator, Abyss). The other main actors were talented and showed it. Furlough was a dud and did nothing having played a major star role in this film. Yeah, I know he had personal problems and drugs, but that's no excuse. He just had no talent - the screechy voice, the terrible acting, the weird body language...

+s0nnyburnett so true, but I do have a place in my heart for 'True Lies'

talk to the hand!

true lies was pretty good and t3 was not cameron

@@monkfishlee It will have you begging for buttermilk...

And then Genysis and Dark Fate continue to shatter what we consider acceptable as films

Everything you said here is exactly correct. It is a movie that could have only been produced in a bygone era. 1991, the absolute height of American national confidence, and it shows in the style and quality of the movie.
