The Terminator returns in sensational style

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2015)

Rating-9/10
Terminator 2:Judgement Day, an action movie that Is quite possibly, the best of action. With technical achievements and some fine acting performances this becomes not only better than the first in the series, but also just one of the finest entries into the much paved action movie catalogue. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns from the first and so does Sarah Connor, and both are well played and make this story exciting, action packed and even quite surprisingly, emotional.
This movie is to be fair all about the destruction of John Connor, but I mean that in a way where Robert Patrick is thrown back from the future to try and kill the future human rebel leader. This time the T-800 model otherwise known as the Terminator is back, and now he's had a change of heart, no not really he has just been reprogrammed by John Connor in the future. This plot can seem a little confusing but trust me it is not, it's actually a fine story full of fun moments but a whole lot of down right action fuelled adventure.
The young man playing the well, young John Connor is Edward Furlong, and he gives a pretty nasty yet good performance, mixing the juvenile teenage rage with raw emotion to create an all together nice feel. Arnie returns with fist pumping muscle and some massive guns and becomes the stuff of legends(quite literally, he makes this classic movie icon). The director, James Cameron, the writer James Cameron(plus William Wisher), and oh my what a movie he has created. He finely crafts this with a fine touch, he never lets this get boring and somehow makes a movie that is exciting from the first minute to the end.
Does the movie lack anything?, well yes, yes it does. It for me lacks a slight bit of depth, it does it well and anyone who see's the relationship between the Terminator and John will be all quite happy for cyborg-human relations. I do however feel this isn't as intelligent as it maybe thinks it is, and for that point and that point alone, it makes this oh so close to perfection, without being perfect. Now of course saying all this, many many people will give this 10/10 and the such, I think it is incredible and truly a movie to behold so don't hold it against me that I don't think this is 100% flawless, it is for me, probably one of the best movies ever.
When you think of a sequel you think many things will return from the first and not only that but also, the sequel will not be as good. It's wrong on the point of it's not as good as it's predecessor, but it also feels new and unique, very different to the 1984 first in line "The Terminator" which although I felt was good, is not a patch on this one. It feels slick, new and all together more thought out, Cameron seems to get his act and give it another level meanwhile Hamilton, Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick etc, also do the same.
Terminator 2 is one of those movies you don't forget after watching, I recommend this not only to action fans who maybe haven't ever seen it, but also any movie fan, this is top class stuff. I never thought I'd be saying that an action Sci-Fi was so good but I can't deny it anything, even the score from Brad Fiedel deserves a shout out, all together top notch work from all departments involved.
