Terminator original gets annihilated.

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2007)

We start off Judgment Day with John Connor (Edward Furlong) and his home life. He seems to be a rebellious kid (foreground for his future adulthood) and dislikes his foster parents. After Terminator I, his mom, Sarah has been institutionalized.
The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) shows up and so does The T-1000 (Robert Patrick). For the ten minutes or so that you see them, you think who the hell is Robert Patrick? Is he another resistance member? Nope! This time Arnold is the good guy and Robert is the bad guy. The catch is Robert's type of Terminator is advanced. He's a liquid metal type which allows him to shape shift. Arnold becomes friends with John and tries to teach him things, but inevitably their relationship ends.
Linda Hamilton reprises her role as Sarah Connor. There is basically no known supporting cast. But it isn't needed as the four main characters are enough.
The special effects were increasing at an incredibly fast rate when the 1990's started so that's the reason why the special effects for the 1991 Terminator film are better than the 1984 Terminator film.
The story was much more interesting and the action was a lot more exciting. The special effects were ten times better and the cast was great. Not to mention, Arnold had an actual role aside from walking and shooting. He spoke a lot.
The dialogue was cheesy at times but the action makes up for all the flaws in this film. And, thank god, they didn't try to throw another stupid, unwanted love story in this one like they did with the first. Anyone with 1/3 of a brain can easily figure out that this movie easily surpasses the original Terminator for more than five reasons. There is not many sequels that beat the original but this one does.
Don't get me wrong, I love Arnold and I love Terminator series but I hate the original. If you love Arnold and the Terminator movies are your favourite as well, give this one a look. I guarantee you'll watch this Terminator flick the most.
