If it's worth doing at all, it's worth doing to excess. That is, if you're making a sequel to a sequel, why not make it bigger and add more of whatever excited the kids in the first place? Only, of course, Arnold must be a good guy.
"The Terminator" was kind of cute and fun, what with it's inventiveness, lack of preciosity, it's high-speed chases through night-time Los Angeles, and Arnold finally being turned into the robot he was always intended to be.
This one sucks. The jokes aren't funny and they're self referential. The high-speed chases only pause for breath now and then. None of the characters convince, although Claire Danes is a decent actress with strong features a bit too fleshy to qualify as beautiful by Hollywood standards, one of the reasons I find her appealing. And, as I say, she can act too, as she did in Coppola's "The Rain Maker." But she has no more of a chance here than any of the other performers, maybe less because her character has been shoehorned into the plot.
The explosions are bigger and better. And why not? As Mies Van Der Rohe said, "More is more; and MORE is more and more."
