Re: The Germantor watches The Terminators
Well, I watched Terminator 2 a few days ago and I'm not sure how to feel. I think whatever version I downloaded, I mean rented, was the director's cut, so it was a bit longer than the regular version. I'm not sure what it is with director's cuts, but they always seem a bit long to me, and that the original cut was probably that way for a reason.
That said, watching these two flicks for the first time so close to each other, I can't help but feel that the original Terminator is the superior film. It's just so nice and concise. Terminator 2 is just more or less the same flick with some added elements to try to make it better, but for me it didn't really do it. I sympathize far more with the Sara Connor in the original flick, just a simple waitress who doesn't know what's going on compared to the Sara Connor in T2. I understand that the story has to evolve that way, but I don't know. T2 was still pretty good and a lot of fun, but T1 just felt really special.
