Awesome sequel to awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2010)

The original Terminator was a masterpiece, and a great example on how to make a great action movie with great special effects without a big budget. So when you make a sequel and get a much bigger budget, you can either make it bigger and better than the original, or bigger and not nearly as good as the original. Thankfully Terminator two is actually better, or at least just as good, but more entertaining than it's predecessor.
Of course near the end we get the big plot hole with if they do mangage to stop the machine uprising, than John would never be born, and then a huge paradox would happen. Also John is a bit of an a##hole in the beginning, but he redeems himself. There are other problems of course but it's mostly nitpicking.
The action scenes are fantastic, with some of the best practical and CGI effects ever. The pacing is perfect, that was one of the problems the first movie had, it was too slow at points, but this movie give you an action scene in just the right place so you don't become bored, nor does it seem like it's just a mindless action movie. The character's are likable, and at times actually pretty funny. And it does bring up good questions about weather you would kill one innocent man if that meant saving millions of other innocent lives.
There are of course other good things in the movie, but I won't spoil anything, if you haven't seen the movie, just go watch it.
