I'm still confused. Do you think that specifying the genre this film belongs to is taking away from the praise this film universally receives?

What kind of boomer-logic have you fallen victim to?

T2 is one of the very best action movies of all time, which also makes it one of the best films of all time. Just because some mummified geezers in some ancient film society don't mention T2 in the same breath as Lawrence of Arabia or Citizen Kane doesn't mean that everyone else has to agree with that view.

PS: I commend you for your position and what you are trying to do, but I think you are going about it all wrong.
