The sci-fi sequel doesn't quite have the same originality and futuristic grittiness of the first film, but it still creates an intricate and fascinating dystopian world and then populates it with harrowing action sequences. It's a shame that Edward Furlong's acting career never really (save for American History X?) really took off, as he's a strong foil for Schwarzenegger's laconic cyborg and the film does a few interesting things with the "robot with emotions" themes. Robert Patrick matches Arnold as an equally quiet and deadly cyborg assassin. |

A groundbreaking achievement in special effects that set the bar for action films. Arnold reprises the role and manages to emote some humor. Edward Furlong is incredibly annoying but luckily the part actually called for it. Hamilton is great. |

"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" by Yojimbo |
|
Along with Aliens, James Cameron has been responsible for two of the most inventive sequels around. This follow up to his own sci-fi classic The Terminator sees another sent back through time to protect John Connor in childhood from a shapeshifting assassin bent on preventing him from leading the human race to salvation. It puts an interesting spin on the original concept, essentially switching the roles of Arnie and Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton turning in easily the best performance); he becomes the nurturing parental figure, she the emotionless, singleminded terminator who only regains her humanity when shown the human face of her target. Throw in a nice time paradox, some excellent set pieces and innovative effects and you have a great cocktail for breathless action sci-fi. The one nea... |

Terminator 2: Judgement Day review |
|
One of the best sequels created. Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) did a great job in being a heroine, Edward Furlong (John Connor) effective bring in the comic relief and drama. Arnold also portrays a believable lower model Terminator while Robert Patrick was stone cold as the T-1000. Has a very cool soundtrack, catchy dialogue and amazing action sequences that were innovative. Not only does it have stunning visual effects, it boasts its theme of maturity, sacrifice/value of human life (T-800) trust (John) and respect (Sarah's point of view). The loaded special features will not disappoint as well. Pace of the film never runs down and you keep waiting for the next scene to unfold. One of the best quotes on the film from Sarah Connor - "The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for... |

Terminator 2 Review |
|
Terminator 2: Judgment Day... James Cameron can go to his grave knowing he made this masterpiece of a sequel. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a role of "good" terminator sent back in time to protect the future savior, John Conner (Edward Furlong) from a "evil" terminator called the T-1000 (Robert Patrick). This movie is without a doubt, one of the best action movies ever made. When this was made in 1991, CGI wasn't a big thing, so when James Cameron used it, he revolutionized it. Although, this movie has the best action scenes, it also plays a role on how all the characters make a dramatic change in the end. The Terminator changes by having a more human personality and being a father figure to John. Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton) changes by hating the Terminator at first because it was trying ... |
