Kyle Reese and Dwayne Hicks: A comparison

“Hudson sir, he’s Hicks.”

After watching the first movie a while ago, I was curious about the sequel. The first movie gets a lot of praise, but this one gets the same, if not more praise. The amount of good things that I’ve heard related to this movie got me really hyped and…I think it was an ok movie. Honestly, I defenily prefer the first movie. It’s not that this one is bad, but the first movie made a bigger impact in me. I bet when this movie was released, it was incredible (and still is, mind you). I may prefer the first movie, but this one is still entertaining and interesting. Once again, Sigourney Weaver as Ripley is the best part of the movie. She’s such a phenomenal actress, and this movie really shows how great she is. The rest of the cast is decent as well. This is a pure fun action movie and you can’t go wrong with that. If you liked the first movie, don’t expect this one to similar. The first one was more of a thriller, while this one is more of an action movie. Both movies are fun for different reasons, so check them out.

John Connor gave me a picture of you once. I didn’t know why at the time. It was very old - torn, faded. You were young like you are now. You seemed just a little sad. I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment. I memorized every line, every curve… I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you; I always have.
