1st I prefer it to the first film which always bores me.... I have a love hate relationship with the film... It's very 80s and how I remember the decade, the soundtrack is unbeatable and Scott made a very stylish film but I just don't dig the story line... I do like Cruise, he has made some great films but there is better 80s films then TG.
With today's society and generation I'm really shocked to see TG2 has grossed a Marvel gross considering it's not part of the new cinematic experience. It's a product of the 80s, it's not all about cgi heroes ect yet it's managed to make that impact and I will give it credit for showing when made correctly and older film concept can still make a big impact. Much same with Terminator, that could still work with the big man but in the right hands... And one thing TG2 has done is made Tom Cruise the biggest movie star of all time, literally. We have had names since the 1920s that are legends that have made an impact but Cruiseman has been a consistent player since 1983 and always maintained a huge status.... But with the gross of TG2 then it makes him the no.1 actor star of all time over every single man/lady to grace the screen.
