Read the storyline for Terminator and then watch this movie.

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2008)

Anyone who thinks this movie deserves any less than an 8 probably thinks that Transporter, Rush Hour, and Pitch Black are where it's at. This movie set the standard for future action movies and is a marvel for its time, even for our time. No other action/adventure movie comes close to this one, and I have to search hard to find movies in other genres that can compete at this high a level. T2 is one of those films where you want it to keep on going because it is that good, and you start to feel bad when you know it's almost over. It's such an insult to T2 to have Terminator 3 and so on created afterward because they effectively nullify this film's purpose. By the way, if anyone ever claims The Terminator is better than its sequel, then be VERY suspicious of any movie recommendations he or she makes.
