For those who love story lines

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2008)

Having written a few reviews that berate other movies for not having a storyline, I thought it my duty to write at least one review for what I consider to be EXCELLENT in this department.
You could remove all the special effects, the beautiful and amazing Linda Hamilton, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger from this film, and STILL have a gripping, edge-of-your-seat, can't-go-to-the-bathroom for fear you'll-miss-a-single-moment story.
Many have written about T2. I only add my comment to point to what I consider to be an example of the best story telling around. If only Hollywood realized it's the story that either makes or breaks any movie! How can they miss this simple truth, when people stayed up all night, often going without sleep, in order to read books; and did so for centuries with no pictures, sound or special effects? Well, once in a while, we all get lucky and a movie like Terminator 2 comes out. This is true story telling at it's most intimate, frightening, hopeful, despairing and inspiring best. I would rate it 20/10 if they let me.
