Arnold's best role.

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2004)

I like all the Terminator movies about the same; they all have their strengths and weaknesses so I rank them all a nine. This one looks very dated now and some of the special effects just don't look so hot, but it still is a fun movie to watch as Arnold plays the killing machine very well. His prey, Sarah Connor played very well by Linda Hamilton. The story is good and there is lots of action and excitement. This one goes pretty quick too, unlike the second one which has places in it that drags a bit. Of course it makes up for the slow parts by having better effects than this one. This one has many memorable scenes, the most memorable being the Terminator's attack on the police station. There are a couple of Cameron staples here as Michael Biehan and Lance Henrikson are in it. They appear in other Cameron movies as well. Bill Paxton even has a small role in this one. All in all a very good sci-fi action movie that is entertaining and exciting even though it is a bit dated now.
