musings on a robot dressed as a man being ordered around by a little kid

 first of all let me say i have seen this movie many times.  maaaany times, and every time i watch it i become a little more smitten with it.  

This movie is the pinnacle of it's genre.  i havn't seen a movie this perfect ever.  When i was a kid i thought the action was cool and all that fine.  There are movies that have more action in it, sure.  there are movies with better acting, absolutely, but there are few movies whos scope, story, and style are as awesome as this.  All of James Cameron's work and determination are apparent in ever scene.

 They are rehearsed and well thought out, as is the editing.  The finished product is a masterpiece of action.  That no movie has ever topped and i doubt any ever will.  seriously.  This movie is incredible from beginig to end.  The special editon is even better, it's not as taught as the theaterical because of the extra scenes, which i like, but i understand why they were cut, with them out the theatrical version is a fast paced adventure that never slows down, every scene is there for a reason, there isn't really any contrived exposition in any of it.

It isn't really a suprise that cameron didn't have anything to do with T3  because how the fuck would he top this movie?  part of me wishes he had tried but the other half is happy to watch t2 and make fun of the crappiness of t3.

from futuristic laser begining to molten metal end this movie is fan-fucking-tastic.

The special effects in this movie hold a specail palce for me too.  It is before directors relied  upon CGI, while all the SFX guys were still used to doing things the hard way and all that hard work pays off in spades on the screen.  There is cgi but it is blended in with the optical effects and it looks amazing.  the truck flying off the over pass, the motorcycle into the helicopter, the tanker truck into the steel factory, all fucking amazing.  plus the makeup effects for the t100 and t1000 plus the newly developed cgi effects, all working in conjunction to make an amazing sfx spectitcle.

All the actors and actresses involved with this are good.  They got all the bit actors from the first one. Especially in the SE where bien reprises his role as kyle reese. (which rules btw)  You could tell that they were all happy to be there and work on such a kick ass movie.

so in conclusion this movie is rediculously aweome.
