Back with a Vengeance

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2014)

After watching the first three Terminator movies, I can safely call this one the best of the bunch.
Pros: phenomenal special effects for an early 90s flick; amazing story and character development, even for the Terminator himself; great fight scenes; deep, thought-provoking themes; great writing all around
Cons: John Connor can come off as a bit of a smart aleck
Bottom line: It's a shame more movies can't be like this (I'm talking to you, Michael Bay): summer action funtime and well-crafted visual prose. Even now, the Terminator's legacy rings as loudly as the gunfire and explosions that'll leave viewers sending off their foes with, "Hasta la vista, baby."
