The original film is essentially a slasher film with an emphasis on guns as the tools of death and a sci fi coat of paint.
The first movie is good because it works so well with primal fears. Fears of the unknown (the future), fears of technology (Skynet), and fears of a powerful bogey man coming after you (the terminator).
why doesn't Arnold have eyebrows?
This is the superior Terminator movie.
Both of these are absolutely spot on. Terminator 2 is an excellent film in its own right and one of the most worthy sequels around, but the original has a purity of vision and execution that only truly great films have.
maybe it's time to rewatch them all
Despite being a big fan of the first and second films I have still not found the courage to watch Salvation.
I try to block the memory of the third out of my mind like I would an abusive uncle.

What about ROTM?

But those outdated effects scenes need to be Lucased.
Edit: I'd also rather have the special effects from this film over ANY CGI.
I will never understand people who think that stop motion effects have any place in films today.
You're acting like T2's effects aren't outdated. Why don't you go back and rewatch the T-800/T-1000 grapple towards the end of the film again. It's ... pretty amazing when you realize that a good portion of the quick shots are a stunt double literally wrapped in foil.

I love stop motion. I grew up with it. I will never understand how anyone could prefer something like Avatar over Jason and the Argonauts. Not saying my opinion is right, you're welcome to yours. I just find CGI characterless and with little charm. Just look how good the original ED209 was.

Standing still and shooting up salaryman? Yup, it was terrifying.
Moving? LOL
It looked fucking ridiculous when it tried to walk.

Robocop and ED-209 better be there or sue for false advertising.

Enjoy.
Terminator 1 vs Robocop 1. To this day I cannot decide which is the better masterpiece.
I kinda wish we had some scenes of the cops wondering why he wasn't going down.

Listen to that puny handgun when shooting fake Sarah.
They should create a small mini-series about the aftermath of that shootout. One of the surviving LAPD officers, having graduated to the ranks of the FBI, tries to uncover the truth of the mass murderer, from the moment of the shooting spree to the incident at the Cyberdyne building 7 years later.

I love the movie-and the shootout scene is amazing
Bill Paxton as a punk in the movie was also great-I looked just like him when the movie came out-

Terminator, but it's close.
John Connor was just a kid in T2, he wasn't ready to see the black guy and the mullet dude getting their heads blown off by the Terminator in the parking lot.
He was just thinking like a kid. Kids don't want stuff like this.

The original Robocop is unmatched by anything. I can't even begin to articulate how much I love that movie.Terminator 1 vs Robocop 1. To this day I cannot decide which is the better masterpiece.
