Best action movie I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2002)

Terminator 2 is possibly the best action movie ever made. Not only does it have very skillfully played-out action scenes, but it's also filled with some of the most incredible melodies I've ever heard, a factor that, simply, counts for at least 35% of the total excitement and feelings that the movie brings. In addition to being very well made, with no dull scenes whatsoever, this movie actually brings up some interesting questions. In one scene, John Connor looks at two little boys fighting, and asks a robot: "We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean?" and it replies: "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves." I don't think one realizes right away how deep this small comment really goes, way beyond even the main idea of the movie, with all the time-traveling. In addition, unlike many other movies, every scene seems to last long enough to really give the viewer the exact feeling of freight, sympathy, or just exhiliration that the director or writer really meant by it.
I, too, remember that actual August 29th, 1997; I was actually a bit scared of some truly devoted fans to start some ruckus. But nothing happened.
That is, also, another thing about this movie: it is the only movie I know that predicted an incident in the very near future, which made it even more sci-fi-like. Finally, this seems to be the best movie for each actor who stars in it, and whenever I see them anywhere else, I trace them back to this movie before any other. This is a five-star, 10/10 achievement! If you're a fan of hard-core action, sci-fi, and a little bit of comedy, this will be your favorite movie, as well.
