"The Terminator" set up the beginning of The John Connor Saga and created a new era in FX and unbrash action and suspense this no holds bar sequel Improves on the first and pushes the special effects further than ever for it's day. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is smart, taunt, stylish, dark and oh so much fun. It's the perfect action sequel and one of the best films of the '90s.




James Cameron's brilliant sequel has everything and more that made the first great and this one even greater. What T-2: Judgment Day does is extend further the story of the prophesied, "Judgment Day and continues the story of John Connor and this time around The Terminator is not his enemy but his protector and that shifts the story from Machine VS. Human to Machine VS. Machine and Human. And that is amazing to see and watch unfold. T-2 while not as good as the first is, but is an amazing step up in story, action and in special effects and is a worthy sequel and entry in the Terminator franchise.




Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers another great performance as the time traveling terminator his performance is much less robotic than the first and more human which contributes highly to this films appeal and moral structure. Linda Hamilton is more strung out and nutty than I've ever seen her before and she helps bring more power and emotion to this film. Edward Furlong is amazing as the young, rebellious John Connor Furlong brings the tension and more heart to the picture and humanizes an otherwise mechanical film. But all in all the cast does amazing under the great direction of James Cameron and his amazing script, with that they help make this a must see for fans of the first and for fans of Sci-Fi as well.



T-2 is powerful in it's execution and emotional in it's story, it's an amazingly well crafted film with such heart and depth that it, much like the first, jumps out and grabs you when you least expect it. All in all T-2 is a welcome addition to the franchise and a major step up from the original,essentially it's the perfect action/ Sci-Fi film.

This movie is an awesome example of Hollywood's expertise in special effects. I also loved the villain's impassive acting - It was totally cool. From my point of view that's how a totally powerfully villain must be picturised - Hats off to the director. I also the loved the huge machine gun that Arnold uses to smash the hell out of the cops. Its a great movie and I never get bored from looking at it

love this movie all the terminators are great well the ones with arniei thought this one was better than the first because he was bad in the first and good in this one and edward furlong did a great job as john connor there was great special efects and the bad guy did good too he was kinda scary but arnie is one of my fav actors for the action and adventure and comedy he,s one of the best action stars out there and wish he would make some more movies ill always love this movie great job arnie asta la vista baby 10/10

Normally when people tell you about a sequel that was better than the original or just as good, Terminator 2 is always guaranteed to be in their list; why? Because this is THE action movie of all action movies, next to Die Hard, this is the movie that isn't just about the action as well, but has an incredible story and message behind it that will always stay with you. Terminator 2 like the first Terminator film has memorable lines, moments, and incredible effects. This is the film that made you believe in "liquid metal" machines. Robert Patrick's performance is flawless, to be honest I found him a million times more terrifying than Arnold in the first Terminator, because Robert looks like this normal average guy, but he's not like Arnold where he gets shot and you can clearly see he's a terminator, Robert goes back to human looking and won't stop. Not only that you don't know how to stop him. Linda Hamilton returns and gives a great performance as Sarah Conor who is no longer a meek little girl, she has turned into a strong woman who will do anything to protect her son and the future. Arnold is back and he's better then ever! No wonder in the future they made several terminators that look like him, he's great entertainment.

Eleven years after Sarah Connor destroyed the original Terminator that was programmed to kill her, two Terminators arrive in Los Angeles from the year 2029. The first is a Terminator identical to the one that Sarah first encountered, while the second is a new model which assumes the identity of a police officer. John Connor is now a 10 year old living with foster parents. Sarah's experiences have made her tougher and more vigilant, but also desperate to warn humanity about the coming apocalypse. After attempting to bomb a computer factory, Sarah is arrested and remanded to the Pescadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane under the supervision of Dr. Silberman. Meanwhile, the Terminators locate John Connor in a mall. After John is rescued and a chase through the L.A. storm drain channels, the original Terminator escapes with John on his motorcycle. The Terminator explains that he is reprogrammed by the future John Connor to protect and obey John's younger self. The other Terminator is a T-1000, an advanced new prototype programmed to kill John. It is made of "a mimetic polyalloy", a liquid metal that allows it to take the shape and appearance of anything it touches. It can also form into knifes and stabbing weapons. Learning that the T-1000 will likely kill Sarah and then mimic her to lure John, John orders the Terminator to help free her. Initially, Sarah is terrified by the Terminator; but after seeing it fight off the T-1000, she accepts that they need its help. As they escape the city, the Terminator informs John and Sarah about Skynet, the sentient computer system that will nearly wipe out humanity in an apocalyptic nuclear attack on "Judgment Day".

Terminator 2 is one of the best films of all time, this is a film that I absolutely adore and if someone hasn't seen it, there's something seriously wrong. This story is a special one: humans, are we our own worst enemy? Arnold's line "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves" is something that always sends chills down my spine because it's true. I loved the relationship between Arnold and Eddie Furlong, interesting to see a terminator take the place perfectly of a father and you see the pain in Eddie's eyes of never wanting to let go of the terminator. Like Sarah Conor said " The terminator wouldn't stop, it would never leave him. It would never hurt him or shout at him or get drunk and hit him or say it was too busy to spend time with him. And it would die to protect him." meant a lot to me. Like I said, if for some odd reason you have seen this movie, do see it! I promise you that it's just an excellent film and one that will always stand out against cinematic history.

Movie-
Pros:
Great Movie, ending almost made me cry, amazing soundtrack and awesome special effects for its time
by far the best of all the terminators
Cons:
Johns voice is high and gets on my nerves, could have been more creative with ending, could have done more with the liquid metal thing in my opinion.

This film here is definitely one of the classics. I always used to watch this film everytime it came on and out of the entire trilogy this one was my favourite. I loved the shape shifting guy he was so awesome.

Terminator is a great film and a definite must see classic.
