Awesome sequel (spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2003)

I saw terminator 3 recently and decided to backtrack to see what the other two movies were like. I have to say that I loved Terminator 2 and that it had a much better plot and overall feel to it than Terminator 3. That's not to say that Terminator 3 isn't any good it sure has the best thrill ride and special effects out of all of them.
Terminator 2, really had brains. It was really a smart film. Probably the best theing about thing movie was the feel of the characters, between John Connor and the Terminator. I particularly enjoyed the moral issues discussed between them, they just seem so innocent: " You can't just go around killing people", says John, "Why.." asks the Terminator and John can't come up with an answer. Or when John, after seeing the two kids play with pretend guns, asks him whether or not human kind will make it. The Terminator simply replies " You humans have a tendency to enjoy destroying yourselfs", or something like it.
The plot was well thought out and the story well linked. Although they never did mention why terminators assume human form or why this new terminator looks the same as the old one. This movie definitely deserves its spot as one of the top 50 or so ever made.
By they way, I particularly enjoyed the way the terminator reloads his gun with simple turn of the wrist during the chase scene . Very cool.
