Members EvilMeow Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 I think so. So dark, great action, wonderful story, killer bad guy, and Arnold at his best! I don't think I could see that movie enough times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah, I think it probably is. Though Commando, Robocop and First Blood are all right up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nevandal Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's at least in my top 10 all time of any movie ever made, if not top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sardocasm Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 I preferred the first one action wise. The robot shooting the gun store guy and the entire police station was just great. Badass action in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thinkpad20 Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's a damn good movie, I won't deny that. Maybe not the best action movie ever, but I can't think of one off the top of my head that beats it, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badass action in that one. I always consider the first one to be more of a Sci-Fi / Action flick, and the 2nd one to be an all out action flick.

Members EvilMeow Posted April 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 I always consider the first one to be more of a Sci-Fi / Action flick, and the 2nd one to be an all out action flick. Of course. That's why I said Action flick. It's still sci-fi / action, but not quite as heavy in the science fiction part. But I love the dialogue, the action, and all the performances by the actors. It's Cameron at his very finest. Well, that and Aliens. It's just so bleak. I love it. I actually think Aliens might be better, but it's very much a war movie, compared to Alien, which was definitely sci-fi / action. I love the direction Cameron took the second in each of these series.

Members FallofEmpyrean Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'll go with Die Hard, since it's more of a pure action movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IKilledSifoDyas Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'd pick "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" as the best action movie ever, with "Aliens" and "Terminator 2" close behind (of course those last two are "Sci-Fi Action", and if I count them, then I have to count the Star Wars movies, and if I do that, then at the very least "The Empire Strikes Back" would have to be #1..................Ah Hell, now I don't know what my pick is! ).

Members Thri11_H0use Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 the T-1000 is easily one of the scariest and most dangerous villians ever created. I mean, the only way they managed to destroy him was because they just SO happened to have a steel mill nearby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Terminators in general are just scary. They're unstoppable killing machines that have absolutely zero regard for personal safety. They just keep coming and keep coming. Each Terminator movie amounts to what's basically a single, two-and-a-half hour long chase scene. It's a race against a giant humanoid wrecking ball.

Members Leroy Beeftaint Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 funny - i was just thinking about this movie today because i heard "you could be mine" on the radio.T2 was probably the most anticipated movie of my childhood - it was released while my family was on vacation one year. i threw a fit so my dad would take me to see the movie while we were on vacation... lol. it's funny to look back at stuff like that now that i'm an adult - i called my dad to remind him of the situation - we had a good laugh about it.

Members BrendanO Posted April 27, 2008 Members Share Posted April 27, 2008 Aliens is probably it. Especially the director's cut/extended version. Why they cut that great turret gun scene is beyond me (Well, no, I mean, Cameron explained why it got cut, but I'm being rhetorical here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
