Total recall of excellence from it's previous

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2002)

I remember seeing the first Terminator, and it was very good. Though, this one sparked many areas that the first one did not. This movie had action, and suspense, and acting, and(of course) graphics that out-did the first one. I may be talking into my generation, but it's an opinion that I hold, and one that I will keep. Finally, Arnold was able to play the good guy, and he was still his old self. The grim faced get-outta-way terminator that we all loved from the first one. Linda Hamilton also improved, showing she can defend herself this time instead of always running. To me, it's hard to decifer that a mental institution can turn you into a gun handling combat marine when you were once a soft hearted little angel that just wanted to be hugged. But, that's what it was and it was fine with me. I loved every moment of this action flick. The soundtrack was above average, but the graphics are definitly the highlight of this film. Nothing looked unreal, like it did in the first Terminator. The bad guy was totally awesome. He was basically indestructable in which made the movie actually pretty scary at times. Horror and action made a nice blend for this movie. Terminator 2: Judgement Day was definitely "Bad to the bone" and earned my 10/10 rating. My one complaint was the fight scene between the two terminators, kinda lame.
