I was perusing Instant Netflix with a friend and he suggested we watch Terminator 2. Arnold Scharenegger films have never exactly been my cup of tea but I'm willing to try anything at least once, sometimes a second viewing of said actor/genre can change one's mind. In this case, it was a no.
We watched it and my initial thoughts were validated. Terminator 2 was ridiculous. In my opinion it could have been an okay film had there been a decent, intriguing plot and better acting skills -- lets face it Arnold Schwarzegger throwing large, heavy objects can only take him so far. I felt the only reason to make watching this film worthwhile is to hear the classic line "hasta la vista baby". Otherwise it is a joke and was giggling throughout the last twenty minutes. Upon Terminator 2's ending my friend tried arguing that it was a classic action film, it may very well be, but I'm not sure how well it transferred.

"It's important right now that we talk, killer to killer."
Unlike Addison DeWitt I would not like to talk killer to killer but rather as movie lover to movie lover. What do you think?
