If you end up going through all the terminator movies you should watch the TV series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Bonus it has Summer Glau (River from Firefly)

Logan Kerlee

She has plenty of time to do that.

Logan Kerlee

No arguments here.

Logan Kerlee

THANK YOU! Lord, I hate it when first time people watch that and are left scratching their heads as to why people rant and rave about the movie being so excellent. The Director's Cut is trash tier.

James Willingham III

100% agree. The pacing and ending of the theatrical is perfect. The extended cut is fun on the second viewing but I always show first timers the theatrical first.

N.Y.S

hello, how about react anime movie called Your Name? It was very popular anime movie back then in 2017 and the most popular anime movie until now

Laura Thornley

I do love Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but I also love John Wick. So... I'll be happy either way.

Laura Thornley

The first 10-20 minutes are also excellent as it wraps up the previous storyline. It just, uh. Falls off. A cliff.

Jack Burton

there is no reason to skip Quantum of Solace. it's a part of the overall story.

Mike Hell

I agree, while QoS is the weakest Craig Bond film, it starts off directly after Casino Royale so it really shouldn't be skipped.

Adam Baker

Why skip Quantum?

Marcus Powell

You liked Terminator, you”ll really enjoy this one, Nat.

jamie jones

The second one is leagues better than the first

Logan Kerlee

Eh, if you say so. I'll always consider the first the best. The second was a whole lot more marketable than the original, true but I wouldn't say that it made it a better movie to watch. Personally the first one hits me a lot harder emotionally than the second. It is hands down by favorite sequel though. That's clear and easy.

Dale Diaz

judgment day is one of, if not the best sequels ever made, and easily the best in the entire terminator franchise

Logan Kerlee

I love this poll so much!! xD Or rather, I love that the movie that I've wanted Natalie to react to FOR A LONG WHILE is finally getting the votes! :D Ya'll rock. <3

Danishprince

I do prefer the Directors Cut myself because of some of the extra scenes but yeah I'd agree on doing theatrical cut first - Extended versions can always be watched on repeat runs :) Also, you have worked on some amazing projects - Thanks for helping bringing those projects to life <3

Richard Maurer

I'll never understand why people mention how effects in films that are 20+ years old look dated. I mean, no kidding, did you expect the effects team to time travel into the future so they could have better effects? The effects in both T1 and T2 were quite good for their time, and in T1's case, budget.

Philip Davetas

Oh, man. You need to finish the JOHN WICK trilogy. The new one is coming out in March.

BJ Stephens

What I don't get is why someone watching James Bond movies would start with Craigs, which IMO are the least "Bond" movies of the collection. Sorry he's got the badass secret agent down, but the movies are missing the fun and camp. BTW not looking for a debate or discussion, just putting my 2 cents out there.

Richard Maurer

Maybe they like different movies than you do? And for the record I voted for T2, but I don't believe that other people can't like other things.

Richard Maurer

@edelweiss88 - I wasn't really commenting on the quality of the films, The OP claimed that nothing could beat T2 in a poll and I was just naming some film series that would more often than not beat T2. Now that being said, I would watch LotR (really one film in 3 parts) and about 65% of the MCU films over T2 anytime.

luis lopez

if you do watch T2 do not watch the director cut

Snacky Munchies

Would love to see the better franchise succeed but it's only my opinion

Noctis

There isn't much there to tie it to the others, like a few lines setting something up and thats it. Its honestly skippable and you'd still understand whats going on. Plus its just so bad.

REDR58

There was no number 2 Mission: Impossible movie. For some bizarre reason, it went straight to part III! 2 is one of those weird mandela effect "movies." It didn't happen. It never was. Now let us never speak of it again.

Noctis

All these movies need to be watched! but agree with everyone, it should definitely start with T2 cuz *chefs kiss* its just so good lol.

Jules

Yeah but why?

sarCC

I love John Wick 2, but know you didn't like the first one, so I voted T2.

sarCC

Yeah, Quantum Of Solace was the last Bond film I completely enjoyed. I thought Skyfall was silly, but it did look super-gorgeous.

Suparerk

I will vote The Shawshank Redemption with no hesitate. love this one too.

Myles Away

First one is great and the rest are pretty disposable.

Ben Wheeler

If you were able to get through the Last Airbender movie, QoS is doable

dieselbeast

If you wanna give t2 competition and make the polls super close or more interesting, the poll should be T2, Scarface, the godfather etc movies that have had massive success, with all due respect to the other three on this poll

Neon Ghost

Not ready for this or requiem for a dream

Snacky Munchies

This pole WOW

Daniel Vezina

Kids, with Rosario Dawson

Jason Dolan

My hot take on Craig Bond is that No Time To Die made Quantum of Solace AND Spectre better films. It tied it all together making Craig's Bondverse a totally cohesive story and therefore perhaps the best and most complete Bond. That opera sequence in Quantum is pretty fire as well.

TwistedMagoo

I enjoyed the first John Wick movie, but as a series I find it deeply overrated.

TwistedMagoo

Yeah, if you haven't seen the MI movies yet, I'd agree with that. Other than #2, they are pretty uniformly great...and even 2 had some fun parts.

TwistedMagoo

I understand why people wanted to like the Matrix sequels, but they were awful. The original was lightning in a bottle.

Myles Away

Errr ..... lets not forget #2 takes a massive nose dive ... but after that its all upward sailing

Ken

That obscure hidden gem, T2

Navjot Singh

+1 to that. Each movie is better than the previous one.

REDR58

A series which gets better and better as it goes on.

REDR58

I think Quantum is better than NTTD and my Craig Bond canon ends with Spectre. I hate NTTD almost as much as I hate Glass.

pedantech

What a weird thing to say. It's like saying, "I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes breathing."

Ed Green

LotR is 3 movies, rather than 1. I don't agree at all about Star Wars and although I'm an MCU enthusiastic I can't name an MCU movie that I enjoy more than T2. Although several are more important/deeper such as First Avenger and Black Panther.

Kevin Maguire

You really need to tackle the Mission:Impossible series.

Curaitis

I like the Franchise but i can understand that people dont like the sequels. They got a bit unbelievable/over the top. Happens with a lot of Franchises in Hollywood to milk the cow. For example the Bourne Franchise. I love the Trilogy but you can see that with part 2 Hollywood took over.

Richard Maurer

No, you're not alone. The sequels made the whole thing become unbelievable. Like The Matrix, it should have been a stand alone. But money talks.

Richard Maurer

For some movies sequels aren't just unnecessary, they actually detract from the original. I feel that way about the Matrix, and, controversial I know, John Wick. But for me the JW sequels just got more and more ridiculous to the point where my 'willing suspension of disbelief' got up and left,

Adam Grunther

I really wouldn’t skip Quantum of Solace. Doing that feels like it just makes less people want to vote for Skyfall. It’s not that bad of a movie. It’s just nowhere near as good as Casino Royale. You shouldn’t skip a movie in the Craig Bond series because people say it’s bad. A lot of people don’t like Spectre but that film is almost crucial to understanding No Time to Die.

Camaro English

I never said it was great. Doesn’t mean it’s terrible though. I would still love to see her reaction to it regardless.

Richard Maurer

LotR, Star Wars, MCU - lots of movies can and do beat T2.

Myles Away

Terrible movie. Every sequel was worse than the one before it. The only good followup was the Animatrix. Some really good stories in there.

Zack Wallace

I like the first John Wick movie. I am not going to lie to you though. I haven’t cared for any of the sequels that have been made. Is it just me?

Camaro English

Rip Matrix reloaded :(

Hugo deroo

it's bad, that why ahah

Rosanne Stewart

Looks like T2will easily win so I’m voting for Skyfall hoping you’ll watch it anyway.

Alfredo

How come you’re skipping QoS? I don’t really care. Just curious. T2 is my vote.

Hades13

That's tough. Skyfall is my favorite Bond, but since you just watched Terminator I think going right to T2 is the right move

David Crabtree

T2 without a doubt! Theatrical version please. There's like 3 different extended/ultimate/director's/super duper cuts.

Richard Church

I'd also like to see you do Skyfall, but I'm curious why you're skipping over Quantum? It is the weakest Bond movie of Craig's era, but there are some good parts to it and it feeds into the larger narrative of Craig Bond's character arc and the story of his films

Richard Church

I voted for T2! One of the greatest sequels ever made and where you found parts of Terminator funny and cheesy, T2 has some heavy emotional scenes and the graphics still hold up today. They were revolutionary for the 90s.

Ed Green

The Shawshank Redemption

Seth Wylie

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who appreciates T2

Ed Green

One pill makes you larger but more pills make you small, and the one the 20s give you doesn't do anything at all

Johnny

Matrix sequels? That was an amazing one-off movie. Trying to improve on it would probably just get confusing. I bet they would have some awesome action scenes and CGI, though.

John

T2 looks a little dated, but no where near as bad as the original. Both were good quality for the day, but T2 was definitely groundbreaking when it came out.

Jomero

Terminator 2 was THE movie that propelled CGI in movies light years forward. They do look a little dated today, but make no mistake this was a turning point for special effects as we know it.

John

Definitely let us know which cut. I'm aware of 3 different versions: Theatrical Cut (137 min.) Special Edition (153 min.) Ultimate Cut (156 min.)

John

I wouldn't skip any of the Daniel Craig Bond films. They are all a continuing story and all tie together.

jamie jones

Yeah its a stupid decision and why i didnt vote for it

jamie jones

It ties in with the overall arc pretty strongly. Dunno what film you saw. And spectre was the weakest entry

jamie jones

Quantum of solace isnt the best bond film but skipping it is stupid af. Its a direct sequel and all the plots tie in with each other.

Eryk Klukaczyński

So T2 probably, then please be clear for us which cut you will be watching. And i think as you were laughing at T1, on T2 you probably will cry :D

S1lm4r1l

Its widely considered the weakest of the Craig Bond films, it's neither particularly interesting, nor that great of a watch. You can skip it entirely and lose basically nothing from Craig's Bond arc.

James Willingham III

The others cram in unnecessary scenes that drag the pacing of the film. That being said, I design large action sequences in features for a living so I'm hyper aware of that stuff.

Patreoneer

I kind of wondered why people were preferring the theatrical to the DC/Ultimate editions.

Ja'bree

Watch the boys plz

David Sumner

RoadHouse (1989)?

LightsCameraJake

Terminator 2 is a perfect sequal. Honestly it kinda makes me hope that you watch top gun and top gun maverick at some point because talk about perfect sequals xD

Ryan McKenna

This list consists of 3 sequels and the best sequel ever made.

adrianR31

Skyfall is incredible and should definitely get on the list but T2 is essential

David Sumner

There's really no reason to do anything after Terminator 2 though. Also, Please do RoadHouse! That movie is reactor's Gold. Not enough people react ot it and it's fun!

David Sumner

I really didn't care for Skyfall or most of the Craig movies.

James Willingham III

Please please please watch the theatrical cut of T2. There are several cuts out there (director's cut, ultimate edition etc..) that the studio released as cash grabs. All of them drag the pacing in comparison to the theatrical.

Ken

Skyfall is excellent, and just plain gorgeous to look at. I haven't seen QoS either

Troy

Agreed...please do NOT do director's cut!

PickettsChargingPort

Seconded on the matrix movies.

The Dingo

The original, sure; the others aren't too good. They all seemed to be cash grabs without a lot of thought put into them.

Dave A

Quantum of Solace isn't very good, but if you plan to watch all of the other Daniel Craig movies it does tie in with them and probably should be watched. If you don't really care about seeing all of them, then it can probably be skipped.

Senec

I actually liked the extended version for the extra scenes, but preferred the ending scene from the theatrical cut

David Blake

I'd like to watch your reaction to The Matrix trilogy...! 🙏

Patreoneer

Why skip QOS? Just curious.

Mastervodo

I think JW2 is the next strongest on this list. But since Nat JUST watched T1, watching T2 right after is the best choice, IMO.

Ed Green

Any franchise that revolves around the type of inciting incident that John Wick does can never get my vote no matter how good it is. I can watch fictional humans slaughtered en masse but not that.

Josip Buretić

Terminator II for sure

Ed Green

Nat should stop watching Bond wrong

Ed Green

Maybe they don't realise Nat watched T1 recently?

Ed Green

There's only 1 movie that I'd even be tempted to vote for in a poll against T2, and even it would lose so soon after Nat has watched T1.

Ed Green

Indeed. Skyfall may be far superior but Quantum of Solace continues a narrative that weaves throughout the Daniel Craig films; they're far harder to watch out of order than those of any previous Bond. (Except Lazenby.) Plus the theme song for Quantum of Solace is great and written partly by the man behind Seven Nation Army.

Jason Hoppenworth

He said he would "be back" and you can't stop him.

Jason Gillman

Hell yeah, super hype for T2

Dante

Weird call to skip Quantum Solace imo. Who told you to do that??

Thomas Snyder

T2, theatrical cut only!!! No directors cut or extended versions. 👍

Jason Dolan

Quantum of Solace isn't skippable bad

Adam Doyle

Don't bother with the other Matrix movies. And if you are doing older Bonds, most are okay or bad, but Dr No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger are classics!

Jordan Love

Obv T2 but I'd still like to see more Alien and Die Hard sequels.

Mastervodo

This is a good idea.

Adam Doyle

Epic, but long, oddly paced. Great action, and more gore/brutality than I had imagined. Also, a simple love story, and a few good dance scenes. I would recommend it, but there are so many others I would recommend before it.

Adam Doyle

Terminator 2 is Amazing, and you will enjoy it. As for the Daniel Craig Bond's, yes Quantum of Solice is really the only dark spot, definitely skip it.

Quick

T2 for sure, but Skyfall should be close behind!

Adrian

Also, it's not God awful or anything. Just a weaker entry in the Bond series, partially due to the writer's strike at the time.

Peter Yocum

She shall not laugh at this one!

Derrick Earl Tsaipi

T2 definitely, but I wouldn't mind jw2 reaction.

Vincent Valentin

because all the other franchises are overall better. terminator has 2 good movies if you like the first one which im meh on.

Luke Smith

It’s definitely weaker but you’re just doing yourself a disservice not watching it and going straight to Skyfall. Really hope she changes her mind

Adrian

As others have said, there are elements in 'Quantum' that carry in Craig's Bond films.

Mastervodo

This poll should be T2 100%. For obvious reasons. Why are people voting for anything else?

Ian

I was only saying on discord the other day it would be interesting if we had a poll exactly like this and here it is minus 50 shades lol I'm torn between T2 and wick 2 as I love them both but cuz I voted terminator just in the hope you would watch T2 that gets my vote 👍

Chris H

Quantum of Solace gets so much undeserved hate.

Bou _

I love John Wick movies. But dude, it's next to T2.

justin powell

All great sequel choices!

Mastervodo

John Wick 2 is fine. But Nat just watched T1 for the first time a couple weeks ago! Of COURSE she should watch T2 next, with the first one so fresh in her mind.

Patrick Mitchell

You should include the movie RRR in a poll. That may be the most epic movie I’ve ever seen.

Jose Nuño

Just throwing this out there because it's a great movie........THERE WILL BE BLOOD

oscar latorre

welll. i really dont know if theres room for argue about that... all Terminetor movies after 2 are straight up weak. And 1 as we saw last week didnt aged well at all

Suparerk

Whatever the movie in the poll is. if there is T2, it will be T2 win the poll

Samuel Bruce

Good idea on skipping Quantum of Solace, this is a great list

Joshua Milus

These are all great movies, looking forward to watching them with you! ...except maybe Reloaded.

Adam Drayer

T2 was a monster of a movie - Still considered one of the best action movies, and for sure a must-see for 90s films

Ren

Damn, y'all not rocking w/ John Wick 2?

oscar latorre

this week is a no brainer. T2 is a must watch. and John wick would be the second best choice.

SuperDuprEgg

T2 is very good and it makes the first one better

Luke Smith

A sad day to be a bond fan

Sour

Skyfall is fun and I know Terminator is kinda dated but T2 is probably the best sci fi movie ever made. Bare minimum top 5. It’s the reason they won’t let the franchise die to this day lol

Vonlinchen

Terminator 2 has aged well, unlike the first film. It's vastly superior and arguably the best of the franchise.

Navjot Singh

All of Daniel Craig's Bond movies are interconnected for the overall story.

Gunnar Rea

T2 and then John Wick Chapter 2 at some point afterwards seems just about perfect..

Boomcity

Let's get T2 out of the way, then Nat can continue her cringe watch with all the following sequels in the franchise.

Anakin Starkiller

T2 is a masterpiece and what i think is the best action movie ever made.

Gabriel L.

Aw man all of these are good, but since you just watched T1, you definitely have to go in fresh to the vastly superior T2.

Cole Crouse

Quantum of Solace is probably the weakest movie, but it's necessary for the overall plot.

Joseph salazar

T2 and it shouldn’t be even close especially since you’ve watched the first one

Joshua Kon

Terminator fans about to follow through on the "I'll be back" promise after movie 1.

Darryl Low

Has to be T2. You said you'd be back 😄 If it wins the poll, you should do your intro in a leather jacket and sunglasses Nat 😎🤣 Have a great Wednesday 💛
