Mayhem!

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2010)

This sequel if possible makes even less sense than the original, but chances are you won't care at all because it just looks absolutely amazing. This is really James Cameron at his finest, with all kinds of breath-taking effects and action scenes that are about as pure as action scenes can get. CGI can do miracles sometimes, but nothing can really top a good old-fashioned motorcycle-truck chase with constant shotgun blasts. I make the movie sound somewhat dumber than it really is though, because it actually takes some time out for real character development as well. The friendship between an average boy and a robot who somehow learns to have feelings (kinda) could be a movie all by itself, here's it's just a really beautiful side story. Granted, Edward Furlong can be pretty annoying in some scenes, but he's pretty darn tough to hate during the climax. I also really enjoy the villain in this movie, a terminator who just for the heck of it can transform his arms into knives. I don't know why I find that clever, I just do. This is probably one of the best action flicks ever made.
