Powerage5 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 T2. The first one could've been better if the special effects weren't utter shit. And if it had a decent Blu Ray transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The effects in T1 were about as good as they got back then. The scene were hes cutting his eye out could have been better though, lmao. I chose 1. It was an instant classic. Awesome story, the Terminator in pt 1 was totally ruthless. The Terminator is up there w Darth Vader for best sci fi villian. And the series of movies that followed are all good to very good.T2. The first one could've been better if the special effects weren't utter shit. And if it had a decent Blu Ray transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 T2, cause it's just... better. Love them both, but Judgement Day is just so epic. I dig the darkness and hopelessness of the first one. T2 always brings back memories from my childhood so I'm a bit biased too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) T1.Darker, way more tension, no cheesy humor, ( though I admit T2 is nowhere near as cheesy as T3... ).Also, even though the T1000 looked killer back then, the CGI looks horribly dated now and liquid metal Terminator doesn't seem like such a good idea in 2013.Oh and Edward Furlong's lines in T2 are SHIT.

santana Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The first one. It had a better story, it was darker, and there was more suspense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 I've always viewed T2 as a dumbed down, big budget remake of the first film.It's literally the same plot just with a higher budget.Also, there's never really any feeling of tension or urgency. Robert Patrick's T-1000 is never as chilling or as sinister seeming as Scharzennegger's Terminator in the first film. He's underused, for one, and simply doesn't play a bad guy as well as Arnie did. Arnie fucking starts T1 by ripping some Punk's heart out of his chest for threatening him. Patrick knocks out a cop.Also, in T1, it's a vulnerable, rather meek woman, and her HUMAN protector versus a seemingly unstoppable killing machine that doesn't sleep and will never stop pursuing them until either it is destroyed or it's mission is accomplished. In T2, you have a badass warrior woman, a Bart Simpson rip off kid, and a Terminator as their protector, defending them from another Terminator. It's not Man vs. Machine. It's Machine vs. Machine.Also, the action scenes are nowhere near as good in T2 as in T1. T2 feels like any summer action film and some of it's scenes are bloated. T1 was low budget, raw, and heartfelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyTron Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Terminator 1 because it has a much greater sense of helplessness for the characters involved as well as having a much tighter plot structure. Terminator 2 is a great film, but it is bloated and packed with too many "no problemo" moments. Oh, and Edward Furlong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 t1 but not by muchi understand the argument that t2 completely changed the feeling, but i still love it for what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepest Shame Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Terminator 2, it's more nostalgic for me as I saw that one more growing up. The first one is a classic but the second is just amazing.Plus, Edward Furlong was my first crush so... bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 T1 is pretty much a perfect flick. It's lean & mean but with tons of sentimentality and heart. I admire the fact that it was done on a shoestring budget, it gives it a certain charm. T2 is more of a roller coaster ride; thrilling while you're on it but you feel sort of empty by the time the cart pulls back into the station.

DieselDaisy Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 T1. Darker, more violent 80s vibe and Linda Hamilton gets her tits out. The second one is more Hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
