Terminators
Wednesday, 29 October 2003
Well, I haven't written any reviews for awhile. I am really let you people down... all two of you, and one is me, so that means just you... you know who you are, "Hello." Anyway, as a way to make it up, I figured I would put a giant review up. I saw the enitire Trilogy of Terminator movies and I am going to review all three for your pleasure. If you plan on watching them, I plan you end up watching them all anyway... but in order, so it makes more sence. And if you are going to watch it, watch the deleted scene, they are imporant for the whole series. I hope the third one has deleted scenes, and I get to see them sometime.

Review number one: Terminator.
This movie may be a little old, 1984, and the special effects may be a little laughable, but I still think they are good. The story for this film was put together very well, and thought it held on its own very well. If you get around to seeing this film and never see the other two, you aren't missing too much as aposed to never seeing the first. The deleted scenes are very important, and show you how full circle this movie is on itself, a genous if I must say so myself.

Review number two: Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
A very good sequal... special effects amazing. As I said before, its a good movie, but you must see the original for this one to make full sence... well, what is to be expected for it. Actually this movie even makes more sence if you see the third, while the first doesn't need the second to make more sence. The liquid terminator is cool, but the film never states how this machine came to be. While in the third movie they have a Terminator which seems to be a step between the T-800 and T-1000. The special effects are awesome and the story is good. But the first stands by itself awesomely.

Review number three: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
This is one of those films that didn't need to be made, but since they seemed to have to, they didn't do too bad of a job. It's not the best unless you want to see minless action. I compare it to the sequal to the Matrix. The first was awesome and this one was made to make money and thats it... not to have a deep story. So I guess the ratings of the movies make an arc downward as the movies progress. Just imagine how bad the 4th is going to be.
