Karate Kid II isn’t better than Karate Kid.

never saw any of these franchises except for Indiana Jones
And I saw Alien but none after

T2 < T1
Aliens < Alien
I'm sick of cameron turning everything into retarded action

A New Hope and Revenge of the Sith are better than Empire
Last Crusade is the best IJ movie
I like the LOTR movies equally
Alien>Aliens
Terminator 1>2
Haven't seen any Star Trek movies

contrarianism isn't a personality

Not everyone who disagrees with your opinion is being contrarian, you're not some arbiter of taste.

Because they can take a lot more risk.

>opinion
It's objectivity.

For example:

>RT
The only objective fact here is that you're a retard

None of these are even remotely close to the KINO of the originals with the exception of T2.

whats the source for your opinion, user?

That is only true for Terminator

>Star Wars
All movies are shit
>Indiana Jones
Contrarian choice
>LotR
The fellowship is objectively the best
>Alien
Original was a bit better
>Star Trek
Same shit as SW

two towers is the worst in the lotr trilogy. battle of helm's deep takes up way too much screentime and throws off the pacing of everything else, and also as a result was why return of the king had to be so long. especially when you consider that the battle of helm's deep in the book only took up half a chapter

i prefer aliens to alien but other than that, literally me

Robocop II
Predator II

Only Temple of Doom is the best there.

Also technically Wrath of Khan is the first in a trilogy making up Star Trek 2, 3 and 4

Fellowship is better than TTT
Terminator is better than T2
Other than I'll allow it

Don't forget Attack of the Clones

T2 is the worst example

good catch

>Don't forget The Last Jedi

No, it's the best.

Preferring Temple of Doom IS contrarian. Except on Any Forums(nel).

Dude, i know being contrarian is popular here, but T2, really?

I've had this opinion since I saw the movie at age 10. It's not as atmospheric or intense as T1, Arnie is the good guy and thus it is far less intimidating, the kid is annoying and lame, and they changed the philosophy with regards to time travel (in T1 you can't change history, in T2 you can).

I completely agree with you

>Revenge of the Sith are better than Empire
Yeah, dying because a character lost the will to live is just such wonderful script writing!

T2 is well written and a lot of fun, but T1 is the better movie.

>Arnie is the good guy and thus it is far less intimidating
Yes, sarah connor even said that this machine was the best father for john. The biggest strength of T2 was not its atmosphere or action but its themes.

You are wrong.

Its more of an issue of pacing for why T1>T2

T1 is absolutely relentless in the best way possible.

Me again, another thing, the CGI was very fake looking to me in T2 with the liquid metal thing. T1 felt extremely real.

>Two towers
There's no last boss in that movie. Meh
