The greatest sequel to date!

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2006)

The saying goes that if you make a follow up to a film its never as good as the first but this statement is smashed up when Terminator 2 was released. I can still watch this film now over and over again, its an ageless film with effects in it that look great even now. No one had seen anything like the T-1000 before, Robert Patrick was a great casting. I think the terminator films are Arnold Schwarzeneggers decent film achievements. So many good scenes in this film to talk about but ones that stand out are the T-1000 copying John Conners step mum and when speaking to John on the phone in her voice you hear a slice and then the camera moves over to show that she has a metal knife sliced into Johns step-Dads face, great idea. The T-1000 rising up through the black and white tiles to morph into the police officer. Edward Furlong was also a great casting he was perfect for the part, he had no acting experience and they just found him and went to the lengths to train him to do the part, which was worth it. The music helps this film have another side to it having music for the 2 machines and Sarah Conners flashbacks its eary. So many different things to look at when watching this film like the relationship between humans and a learning machine. This for me is a truly complete film and the 3rd film should never have been made its just as well James Cameron didn't choose the alternate ending for the 2nd otherwise the mony grabbers would have been stuffed to make a third. There are so many other key things to say about it but then if you watch it, it explains itself!
