Awesome effort and great fun.

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2019)

This movie is very raw and violent and is not for children. The action is solid, and it has some heart-churning moments, from John and Sarah in the car after the escape, to the ending. There are plenty of crying moments. In short, this is a complete action movie, with an ability to segue from one scene to another that hasn't been matched since then. The movie flows well, and the music matches the pace of the movie in lockstep. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because of the few mistakes, which kind of stand out: Arnold saying "Hasta la Vista, baby," only to say next "We don't have much time," was out of place; next mistake was when Arnold says, "I need a vacation," after killing the T-1000, when he didn't learn to say that in the movie. Another mistake, the T-1000 didn't imitate the Arnold Terminator when he walked down to the garage - he could have fooled John and killed him then and there, because he had already touched Arnold during the fight in the galleria. Another bad part was when the orderly at the mental institution licks Sarah Connor's face, this made it into an even more disturbing film! In fact, all the mental hospital scenes were disturbing! Another part I felt was getting bad was after the mental hospital escape, and they start introducing character after character after character!! Luckily, I think they put a cap on the number of characters being introduced. This movie was about 1 step away from being a little too long and too epic and too violent and too menacing. I found the death scene of the T-1000 believable, if not a bit convenient. The deleted scene, where T-1000 malfunctions after being frozen, was a good scene. It seems that nothing other than molten steel could kill that thing.
