Never understood the hate for it. IMO, Cameron's masterpiece, T2 and Aliens aside.

I think people were just expecting more of a shoot 'em up style flick after
The Terminator and
Aliens. For me it was his last really great film. I like
T2 a lot but it lacked the depth of the three films before it and it was a step towards his less edgy Hollywood output. I often wonder how different his style would be if
The Abyss had gotten more praise. Same deal with Tarantino after
Jackie Brown. Both films were more "mature" and focused but were met with lukewarm responses and they returned to the same old style of their previous films afterwards.
