Probably the best Action movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2007)

This is probably the best Action film of all time. It has all the ingredients for being considered the best of the best.
First of all, back in 1991, this was the "ultimate" movie with spectacular f/x and action sequences. Nowadays, the movie does not look dated and still manages to shock me with it's surreal nightmarish post-apocalytic settings and monstruous robot action.
The f/x are great, great but that's not the best thing about the movie; "Terminator 2" spends a lot of effort on the fantastic plot and character development. There's no need of extreme use of f/x because the characters have interesting backgrounds and you really get into them. The plot is simply great. It's a futuristic tale involving the end of the world at the hands of technology and at the same time, a war between humans and machines.
The action is non-stop and lets you wanting for more. I couldn't have enough of Arnold and co., spectacular guns, amazing explosions, and memorable chasing sequences on the freeway, motorcycle, etc. This movie ranks high on the fun factor and entertaining factors.
Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers a kickass performance. Every time he says "Hasta la Vista Baby!", "No Problema", and the other trademark lines my skin crawls. It's part of pop culture and fits perfect for the movie's feeling. Linda Hamilton who is sexy as hell delivers a brave and solid performance. Special mention for Edward Furlong who delivers a great performance. But Robert Patrick steals the show as the villain. He was impressive.
James Cameron created one of the best movies of all time and brings us the best possible action ever seen on movies. Also, there's room for glorious gore and non stop violence.
Not else much to say but, I truly recommend it for everyone. It's one of those movies that will change your point of view towards cinema.
