In retrospect less personal...

Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2010)

A cyborg must protect Sarah Connor son from a prototype Terminator Less grounded than the first gritty Terminator, James Cameron gives us a sleeker sharper sequel packed with fantastic effects, stunts and action sequences. I was blown away on its first release, however, over the years I have found it to be less personal due to its grander scale.
The score and stunts are outstanding, Robert Patrick is well cast at state of the art T1000, Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor but she is far removed from her innocent character as a result of the first film. Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as The Terminator but is now the protector, whistle he is perfect as the 'character' in retrospect the edginess has gone that was set up in the first film.
The film is without a doubt a spectacular defining moment in movie history, notably the CGI effects and make up. I would urge anyone who hasn't see it to see it. Nevertheless, its nothing personal but for me compared to the original it's not as rounded.
