T2 is without a doubt the crowning achievement in James Cameron's career!

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2008)

Terminator 2, the sequel to the film that put James Cameron on the map, takes Cameron's legendary science fiction alternate reality film series to levels never before seen.
Arnold Schwarzzenegger, the future governor of California, steps back into his iconic role with relative ease, and proves that no one can play the Terminator but him. No one.
Linda Hamilton also returns from the first Terminator film as the mother of John Connor, the leader of the resistance and savior of mankind.
And Edward Furlong, nowadays doing who knows what makes a great first impression in his film debut as the young John Connor.
Nothing Cameron has ever done, or likely will ever do, will top this cinematic achievement which pushed action, special effects, and pacing to unprecedented levels.
This is by far the best film in both Schwarzenegger and Cameron's careers, even though G.I. Jane Linda Hamilton is a bit silly at times since it's hard for her to compete against the towering Terminator and his nemesis, the liquid metal, T-1000 played with effective cunning by Robert Patrick.
Bravo, Cameron, you hit a home run, unfortunately nothing he had done since had made nearly the impact, not True Lies nor the highly overrated Titanic, can compete with Terminator 2 as the peak of this talented director's career.
