Can you say "rip-off?"

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2003)

When I watched the 2nd Terminator film, I thought it was excellent. Shows what I know. Now that it's about nine years later, I realize that this film is a total waste of money.
What's wrong you ask? Well, the original was a success because it had an original script and original ideas.
Apparently when he made this one, Mr. Cameron ran out of ideas. So many scenes, lines, and characters are the exact SAME as the first film that you can actually wonder if you're watching the first one or not. Don't believe me? It's true. Every time afterwards I've seen the flick I notice new things from this one that completely plagiarize the original. At times I wonder if Cameron actually had an ORIGINAL idea for this movie at all, or if he just decided to make a complete copy of part 1 from the beginning.
BOTTOM LINE: There's nothing worse than being a clone of an original hit. I never want to see this again.
