i don't remember them well but terminator 2 was a lot less disturbing and seemed to really obviously take in criticism. in the first movie he kills a bunch of cops and in the second they go out of their way to say "nope, one cop got his leg broke but he's sweet." there's also a lot more humor iirc.
i just saw Doubt which was pretty cheesy. there's a bunch of really groan worthy stuff and that's the only stand out thing imo, bad jokes.
the prestige was alright. two unlikable characters playing tricks on each other. WORK IS YOUR LIFE.
and i saw network which was pretty fantastic even though it's a bit old. the dialogue was really quite magnificent. the MESSAGE has been done before but this is old and it seems right on the cusp of the change so maybe it wasn't cliche.
