A Perfect Movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2010)

I reviewed the first movie and I truly considered both of them a masterpiece in their own right. This movie is a masterpiece for the cinematic blockbuster that it is compared to the gritty, horror/thriller that was the first one. Terminator 2 is, in all the essence of the word, the perfect movie blockbuster for the reason that it has all of the action elements hands down minus the weaknesses of a typical popcorn summer flick which is the lack of characterization and real drama. James Cameron achieved a character study with real human drama and a truly epic summer blockbuster with special effects that were truly ahead in 1991 and still match up today and are better than some 2009 blockbusters such as Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Terminator 2 was the Avatar of 1991 in terms of special effects.
