Great as action packed movie, but with a rather disappointing storyline

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 1999)

Let´s face it. This movie is packed with some of the greatest action scenes around, but that´s really about it. Actually, Terminator II is nothing more than a 2 / 2.5 hours chain of action scenes and so-called cool one-liners. This movie will probably appeal most to adolescents, since they´re the ones who are likely to really appreciate this kind of movie. The message, if any, is one of taking notice of and watching out for expanding technology. This is all very obvious, and, since this is a movie aimed at younger people, therefor a good thing.
Bottom line: if you want to spend a evening watching mindless, not-so-hard violence enjoying some of the best computer powered action scenes ever seen in a movie, rent this one. It´s a must-see! If you want to see a movie with a more significant, meaningful storyline, don´t. This is probably not your kind of movie.
My verdict: 7/10 (it´s better than your average action movie, mainly because of the great action scenes).
