| TERMINATOR REVIEW |
 |
| THE TERMINATOR WAS MICHAEL'S BIG BREAK, AND INDEED SHOULD HAVE CONFIRMED HIS STATUS AS A BIG STAR. ALTHOUGH FOR SOME REASON THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, AND HE DID NOT GET THE STATUS HE DESERVED, HE IS WITHOUT DOUBT, EXCELLENT IN HIS ROLE AS REESE. THE FILM IS VERY WELL MADE, AND ON A BUDGET OF ONLY 6.5 MILLION, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE AND STILL REGARDED AS A CLASSIC! IN THE MOVIE, MICHAEL PLAYS THE HEROIC CHARACTER, BUT ALSO SHOWS HIS ROMANTIC SIDE, AND IS OVERALL, AN EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER, BUT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE SCREEN BETTER BY ANY OTHER ACTOR. MICHAEL BIEHN MADE REESE! THE OTHER ACTORS ARE GOOD TOO, LINDA HAMILTON IS GREAT AS SARAH, AND THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PAUL WINFIELD AND LANCE HENRIKSEN IS PARTICULARLY MEMORABLE. AND OF COURSE, ARNIE IS GREAT AS THE TERMINATOR AND MAKES A SUPER VILLAIN. THE MUSIC SCORE IS FANTASTIC BY BRAD FIEDEL, AND CAMERON'S DIRECTION SUPER. A HIGHLY ENTERTAINING FILM! 9/10 |
