Avatar is his worst feature (I don’t count ‘The Spawning’) but it still had great action scenes which were coherent.

RE :”Terminator 2 - awesome. First R rated movie I saw as a kid”

I watched 2 and 3 again a couple of weeks ago.

What I love about 2 is Linda Hamilton playing like trained killer/action hero, shooting guns, beating up the dimwits.

It was a great show.

It is great entertainment.

"I seriously enjoyed the first two; Judgement Day was excellent as a sequal.

Third flick... was ehh...ok. The female terminator was a hottie."

I agree with that assessment. I never saw the 4th one.

T2 is a rare case of the sequel being better than the original.

I’m stunned that it came out in 1991; it was groundbreaking, especially with the special effects.

The rest of these flicks are riding off of the first two Terminators.

If it weren’t for making remakes of old movies, or mediocre TV sitcoms, what would Hollywood do ?

Tech at an all time high

Creativity in writing at an all time low.

Of course - they’re lazy and figure the computer will do the work.

Sort of like lifeforms that can’t read or write, but they sure as Hell know how to operate a smartphone.
