Simple, money. Terminator 1 and 2 made so much money and they just wanted

to

make more. It was never about having a story to tell.. it was just money.

I remember when T2 came out, it was "the" movie of '91...

I remember it being new and 'different' as well! Different from the first, different from other movies of the time!

T2 was totally different and a game-changer. There wouldn't be anything like it at least for a couple years if I remember.

I honestly think that a good part of that was the fact that it had a new Guns-n-Roses song in it. :)

You just reminded me of one of my favorite movies of all time -- Armageddon.
-- talk about an incredible soundtrack! Love the dude that looses it on the moon with the machine gun or whatever it was. Now I need to watch it again.

How anyone decided this was a good idea, how it got written, cast, filmed, produced, approved by a major studio is beyond freaking amazing.

Its pretty hard to have any kind of a payoff with a central character being killed off at the beginning. And it just had an unnecessary "woke" vibe to it.

Why couldn't everyone leave it alone after T2...

Totally agreed, it just went downhill after T2. It was like T3 they wanted to show viewers how far CG came. It LOOKED great, dead storyline.

The new Rambo wasn't much better. Some actors need to know when to hang up the sneakers and start focusing on roles that better suit their age.

The newest Rambo I'm kinda undecided about it. I liked the storyline, til the cartel came to his farm which he turned into a little Vietnam warzone. It was sad what happened to his niece, and kinda 'real world'.

Yeah, it was just OK. I actually found his caves to be the coolest part of
the movie, well .. at least .. I wanted one of my own :)

I haven't seen many action movies that really have totally impressed me
as of late, or they've been lesser known movies I just can't remember the
names of .. I keep saying this .. but I will find time to go through my
"watch again" list on Netflix and send some recommendations .. maybe I'll
have time after classes today.

Tomorrow, I think it's Disney, The Black Widow comes out. I'm also excicted
to see the new Wonderwoman. Both hot chicks, both super hero flicks. Marvel normally doesn't disappoint. I'm also really really looking forward to watching the new Top Gun, but I'm unclear when/if it's releasing? It looks great based on how they filmed the pilots and flight scenes, including the actors actually being in the airplanes. Should really be some good special effects. If anyone knows it's release date, fire away!

Movies, at least before COVID, were made to sell tickets and put
butts in the seats of the theaters. If it accomplishes that, it's
a successful business venture. It doesn't have to 'hold up' in
the long run.

Sad, but true. LOL

I recently bought a very nice 4K TV because of COVID, got 2 MORE streaming services. I'd rather watch movies in Theaters ANY day!

Can't wait til it's 'safe' to go back. I want to see Black Widow. Can't think of any other movies I want to see yet, but hopeful there will be something I want to see. One of the 'good' things about summer. alot of the good movies I tend to gravitate to, comes out during the summer.

I'm at the point now where I'll wait on romcoms, dramas, mysteries,
etc. and watch them at home.

If a film merits a big screen and theater audio, I'll go. I've
recently watched Dunkirk and 1917 on my 46" home TV and I'm glad I
saw both in the theater.

I'd have to agree with you. I'd much rather see it at home. I have a nice 4k setup I just upgraded. along with my own AC is 'cool' and cheaper!

I watched both of those movies too, I really liked them!

I'm waiting for Black Widow and 'Tenament' (I think that's what it's called). Those are the only 2 movies I've seen that I want to see this summer. Sucks that nothing is coming out because of this COVID-19
