A sequel that's on the same level as the original

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2009)

The Terminator was a lower budget, fun action movie. The movie was only held back by the lack of budget and nothing else really. Terminator 2 didn't have that same problem.
Terminator 2 is one of the best action movies of the 90's and is, to me; a 90's icon. You can not bring up the 90's without thinking about grunge rock, Seinfeld, pogs, "No Fear" clothes, Pokemon, X-Files, and Terminator 2.
Aside from the impact it has had on popular culture, Terminator 2 is just one of those movies you can find almost nothing wrong with. Its nearly impossible to not like one thing about it or another.
Anyway, back to the movie itself. The plot: A terminator (Robert Patrick) called the T-1000 is sent back to the present/past only this time its after John Connor (Edward Furlong), not Sarah (Linda Hamilton). The Terminator is also FAR more advanced here. Oddly enough, an older Terminator (Arnold), a recommissioned T-800 called the T-101 has been reprogrammed and sent back to protect John.
The acting was all perfect, and the effects were top-notch. I loved the chase scenes and the future scenes. The movie had a little of everything to enjoy. Highly recommended for fans of the first.
10/10.
