T2 did the almost impossible

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2006)

T2 equaled the first film in the franchise. A hard thing to do in the modern era of sequels. Especially given the amount of years between the two films and how the franchise was basically reinvented with this installment by having Arnie play the good guy.
This one was less science fiction and more character and action driven. Though the first film was no slouch on the action, this one doesn't have the same feel as the first. But that is good. Fans always want the same, but different. And we sure got it in large doses with T2.
It would be hard pressed to find a second movie in a franchise that is as good as T2. Unfortunately they could not duplicate the same with T3, but at least 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
