"It's nothing personal"

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2011)

The cyborg who once tried to kill Sarah Connor must now protect her teenage son, John Connor, from an even more powerful and advanced Terminator.
Holy... crap. From the liking of the first installment, I had extreme high hopes for this film. And receive because this is possibly the best sci-fi action movie EVER! I became skeptical when I heard they were using a kid as one of the main characters, partly because of the acting. But they pulled it off nicely and drew you in from the first minute. The acting is even better in this film, providing real emotions throughout. Arnold becomes even more of a bad ass and now is the 'protector' other than the 'terminator.' Which is completely awesome. And the 'terminator' is now bigger and badder because now it is made out of some liquid metal that can shape shift into anything it desires. The soundtrack is even better in this film, it slowly plays quietly in the quite scenes and when the action picks up, it picks up too. Then the special effects... This is a 1991 movie with a $100 million budget. Christ, with that amount of money; anything is possible. And James Cameron decides to invest on the greatest action movie of all time. From the 'terminator's' liquid transformations to the tremendous explosions, the special effects peak up to those of Transformers. Impressive indeed. The plot itself gives more background to the Skynet war; spanning from the start and end and gives WAY more than the first did. This is one of my all-time favorite films now, James Cameron has succeeded on so many levels to create this masterpiece. The action scenes to the overall... everything, you will be part of a world where anything is possible. Now seeing as this has impressed me, I have high hopes for the third; even though it is receiving low scores. Screw it, it can be as good as it wants to be and people's opinions cannot change mines. I hope for the best. Hasta la vista, baby. 10/10.
