Terminator Review


This movie was only made for $10 million so don't expect a big spectacle like Terminator 2. I am going to use a pro-con system from now on. It gives it more detail and more structure.
Pros:
-Low budget
-Arnold is more badass in this one
-Linda Hamilton is much more suited for her role in this
-Good gritty atmosphere
-Police station scene kicks ass
Cons:
-Low budget
-Action sequences don't reach the level the sequel sets
-Story and mythology is less fleshed out than the sequel
-Arnold doesn't have that much screen-time
-Some effects look cheesy
-Ending with Arnold with no flesh seems to drag on and on
Overall good action movie.
*** out of ****
