One of the best ever sequels

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2007)

James Cameron has stuck to his theory that a sequel should be different in order to be better than the original, and has produced a knock your sox off film in the process.
The special effects are the main attraction here, and they are fantastic! The plot is good, if a little disappointing due to the moral content (they had to have a message didn't they)! The fact that Arnie is the good guy does not help. I liked him a lot better as the 'take no crap', unstoppable Terminator. However, Robert Patrick is quite good as the evil new Terminator model, the 'T-1000'. As young John Connor, Edward Furlong makes an impressive debut.
Brad Fiedel's music is still extremely effective, and what with two fantastically choreographed chase sequences along with an eye-popping climax, this is a must see movie. Spectacular!

"T-2" does not hold as well second time. Action sequences are still fantastic and performances good, but the movie is almost showing off with special f/x, although they are quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately I still can't swallow the 'nice' story or Arnie as a good guy.

"Terminator II" is still fabulously entertaining third time around. Action sequences are probably the best ever constructed for the cinema.
The scene in the Galleria (Arnie first meets T-One Thousand) is a heart pounding, edge of the seat thriller. These, along with the police station scene in part one, are definitely the best action sequences I have ever seen.
Robert Patrick is quite impressive as the T-One Thousand, being both comical and cold. Very convincing! Still wish Arnie was meaner though!

Fantastically visual, with the best action sequences I have ever seen, "T2" is still a knockout. I may even be getting used to Arnie's good guy image! Oh no!
