Terminator 1 or 2...Which is better?

[semicko82]

I just cannot think of a single thing Titanic does than terminator 2

• it is not “better made”. Both are top tier in production but t2 was absolutely groundbreaking in terms of cgi and tech
• It isnt better acted…linda hamilton is putting on a clinic, and the home invasion scene is fukkin electric and when john connor flips the script, you realize that sara is not a hero, at all…shes fukkin broken and a psycho now
• It isn’t a better story….titanic’s story is about a rich woman who cheats on her man and is reminiscing about a lost love. T2’s is 400 level time travel scifi, and created an entire lore
• And this is by far the most important: terminator 2 is light years more entertaining. Its one of the most rewatchable movies ever made. Titanic is laborious in comparison.

Like i said, have your opinion but the idea is laughable to me.

Valid points
I'll still take Titanic by an inch. I think after the Titanic hits the iceberg the movie is on another level. The best use of CGI on film maybe other than Avatar.

While the love story is pretty bland it was the Trojan Horse to shed light on the cultural and socioeconomic differences of the people on the Titanic.

Now on the topic of entertainment and rewatchabilty.

Entertainment is subjective. I think T2 is the more entertaining movie, but Titanic is far from a boring film.

I think more people might find Titanic more entertaining based on box office. It grossed a billion dollars in the late 90s. Nowadays any tent pole movie can do those numbers, but in the 90s those were insane numbers, so insane it took another James Cameron movie to gross a billion 12 years later.

I like the gritty version myself. Both classics but part 1 is so grimey I can't go against it.

 

[BobbyBooshay]

Both classics, but like mentioned in here both totally different vibes. T1 is almost a horror.

T2 one of all my time faves, still remember when it released

 

[Lord_nikon]

 

[Max.]

Very close but ima say T2

 

[KevCo]

I prefer t1, infact my order for the terminators are the order they came out…..which i guess isnt a ground breaking take

Facts

Titanic the fukking titanic over t2


​

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

2 definitely

 

[Monoblock]

Can't. 2 different movies but gun to my head I'll go with T2. That shyt was so influential to my childhood.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

T1 but it’s not even worth arguing to me

 

[Peak]

T1.

 

[Jammer22]

T1.

Established some great lore. Always thought it was a little on the nose with the name John Conner /JC/ Jesus Christ undertones it established in the series. Nevertheless, I put it above T2. T2 was a damn good sequel though.

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

Terminator 2 is definitely better

 

[WesCrook]

Terminator is a great horror movie, and the t-100 was a cold mf. A solid “A”.[/B]

But terminator 2 is at worst, the third best sequel of all time, had special effects that are so good that they rate in 2022 cgi tier, and is like a top ten action movie in film history.

Terminator 2, easily

Definitely had that Jason Voorhees feel to it.

I'd love to have T2's powers. I'd be fukking nikkas up left and right.
