To the Point!

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 1999)

T2 is without a doubt, one of the best sc-fi movies ever made. James Cameron is able to encorporate storytelling, acting, editing and special effect in a very effective way. There are some minor flaws with the picture however. One is that the "tough-chick" act by Hamilton runs a little dry by the end of the movie. Also, there isn't really anyone to root for in this one (unlike pulling for Hamilton in the original). As a fan of the original, it was nice to see a a sequel with a purpose. It is obvious that T2 was made for a specific reason and not to just bleed money from the fans of the 1st movie (like most sequels). T2 is obviously a great movie, but it should not be grouped with the classics (other than the sci-fi classics). Great movie.
