"When they say Extreme, they mean X-TREME!"
Well, there are dvd's and there are DVD's. Some of them give you enough to enjoy the movie, even more than you did in theaters. Some give you way too much and, simultaneously, really, gives you nothing. Take Grindhouse, for example. Great movie, decent features, but all in all, a not so good DVD. This DVD, which i thought was meant to fulfill the same experience it gave me, when i was watching it in theaters, greatly disappointed me. You know why. Because of the absence of the faux trailers. All they had on there was Machete. If they weren't going to put all of them on their, then they could at least have put Thanksgiving trailer on there, which was the best of all, but that's what really sparked my anger towards that DVD. You can, easily, tell that all they cared about was the money from the DVD sales, by separated both of the features. I, truly, felt cheated, as i do with most of my dvd's i buy. They stick that unrated tag shit on their just to piss me off. But finally, there is a DVD out there that really cares. It's called Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition, X-treme Dvd.
With determination, they, marvelously, edited the deleted scenes into the feature, which really surprised me. Although it made the movie x-tremely long, I do appreciate their hard work on this. Instead of doing that, they could have just slapped those scenes separately into the special features menu. Just the whole features package on this two disk set is great. You haven't seen ultimate T2, until you've seen it x-treme.
Arguably, Terminator 2 is the greatest sequel ever made, thanks to smart writing. Also, the cast is just x-tremely, incredible. I believe a large part of success goes to Arnold in this. Although he had some bumps in the road, after the millennium, which I'm pretty sure, if he hadn't became governor, would have come out of, there is no one out there who can do action like he does. Not Van Damme, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris Sylvester Stallone or anyone else. When his time in office is up, i hope, he'll return to movies. If not as an actor, then maybe a writer, director, producer or something. He just knows what it takes to make a true action film, even if it wasn't that great, like End of Days, which had some good action scenes, but the story was just dull.
