Its friday so why not some debate. Maybe it won't be much of a debate but giving it a shot.
Godfather 2 being so much better than the first is a feat in itself. Story and acting was on point.
Terminator 2 was alot bigger and story much more cooler than the first.
so which one?
I agree with this completely.
Truth.
Terminator 2 is a bit overrated in my view. It’s a great summer blockbuster movie but it’s got some corny to it and they took liberties with the plot that annoy me. The first movie is an absolute classic. The second is not but it’s treated as one by most simply based on the visuals.
+1
Terminator 2 is a movie that is awesome when you're 13, but gets worse with the passage of time. Not "bad" but not great either.
Respectfully disagree with T2 over T1. T1 was the best in the franchise no question to me. More of a horror movie than the others and Arnold was way better off playing the bad guy terminator. He size was intimidating making him all that more scary.
Just my opinion. Oh and G2 over T2 for sure.
Hilarious!
OK, you asked for it: you’re an asshole.
Pulp Fiction
As for sequels, I've always been an *Aliens* man, myself.
And I will say, the Alien, Jules Winnfield and Jack Torrence would individually and certainly collectively lay waste to the Corleone Crime Family.
What about Back to the Future 2? In some ways that's better than the first. But totally different from the others.
Count me in with the people saying the original Terminator was better than T2. Don't get me wrong, it was an exciting sequel and Sarah Conner had developed into an awesome character by that point. It was cool to see the new villain with his liquid style make Arnold's character look archaic. But all that being said, the first Terminator movie felt "scarier" with Arnold as just this monstrous villain trying to kill Sarah.
Although The original Godfather was a classic, the introduction of Robert DeNiro as the Young Vito in the 2nd movie added a brand new dimension. DeNiro was just the perfect actor for the role and watching Vito ascending at the same time as watching Michael get more vicious as The Boss was just amazing. Whereas I think T1 > T2; I think DeNiro's performance, Young Vito arc in general, and the overall darker mood gives The Godfather 2 the edge over Part 1.
If you account for the level of good from #1 to #2 for both franchises, i think T2 has a greater margin.
Basically G1 was great G2 was better but not by a landslide
Imo
T2 is landslide better than T1
Terminator 2
or
Aliens
?
Aliens just blew my mind in the theater.
The real question is which one is a worse film - G3 or T3.
Those that say T2 is way better then T1 I would have to disagree T2 was a great action movie but T1 was more designed to be a horror movie on a small budget and was perfectly executed.
And the kids acting is so fucking bad it can't be compared to a masterpiece like Godfather 2
