I think it might be because of the era. The movies of the 80s and 90s have a certain charm that the 2000s lack. Bale's Terminator was too noisy for me. I turned it off after some time. T3 was an abomination. The SC Chronicles do not interest me. And Genisys looks terrible. But I'll never get tired of T1 and T2. Maybe it's because of Jim Cameron? He's an outstanding writer and director. Or maybe it's because those movies were not just about robots and explosions, but carried a message? A cyborg becomes more humane than the humans are (T2).<br /><br />Ah, Eddie Furlong, poor kid. I had a bit of a crush on him (I was very young back then). A while ago I was checking his IMdB page and couldn't believe what he had done to himself o.OI.D.

I love the first Terminator also, but the second one was almost ruined for me by their choice of Edward Furlong...I don't care for him as an actor, but I still gave it a chance and the story line saved it for me; however, we won't even mention the third installment...but Christian Bale's film is worth salvaging. Overall, I do agree with you; especially when I see the lack of creativity arising from mainstream cinema. Victor Hubresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473953970211078292noreply@blogger.com
