An Excellent Action Epic

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2009)

It seems that James Cameron only knows how to make epics, with films like Terminator, Titanic, True Lies, Aliens, and The Abyss it is no surprise that T2 is considered one of the best action films ever made. The special effects are phenomenal and still hold up today, of course you can see more of the flaws but they don't take you out of the film. Arnold is just Arnold but he does give more vulnerability to the role than he did in the original and yet he remains bad ass. Then there is the phenomenal performance of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor watching it again recently I realized how good of a performance she gives in this not just emotionally but how much she really became the character physically. There are so many good action scenes in this that I can't just mention one that stands out, but one of my favorites is the causeway chase at the beginning. Last but not least I want to mention Edward Furlong's performance this was his first film and you can tell that sometimes he is unsure but the performance grows on me every time I watch the movie. If you haven't already seen this masterwork definitely check it out, and to James Cameron keep the action coming.
