The best in the trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2004)

The Terminator of 1984 shot into the list of the greatest movies ever, but no-one could have conceived it's sequel would not only live up to the original, but in my opinion, surpass it.
Quite worrying to think that director Cameron came up this whole story in his head while sitting alone and sick in a bed in Rome, but I doubt anyone's complaining that he ever thought of it.
I am a firm believer that if you're going to make a sequel, it MUST be as good as it's predecessor if not better, which is why I like this movie so much.
It's got something for everybody to enjoy, and in three minutes you can go from being on the edge of your seat as Sarah desperately tries to destroy the T-1000, to feeling a tear in your eye as the Terminator says his sad goodbye. Strong and mind-blowing performances, thrilling passion, nail-biting action, and alarming danger, it's the 1984 Terminator film and then some!
