Summary: still cool.
Review: I've seen this movie several times and it's still cool to watch. Rare combination of great action and a great storyline.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terminator 2-- the most over-rated sequel ever.
Review: I still fail to comprehend why people say that this is the best Terminator movie, especially now that there are two other Terminator movies that are better. Putting Linda Hamilton's exceptionally poor performance (and I won't even get started on Eddie Furlong), this movie offers nothing but show-off special effects sequences that, by today's date, are no longer impressive. The liquid metal man looks like a windows 95 screen saver. I understand that this film was revolutionary for its time, but it certainly doesn't hold up to the second sequel as far as special effects or story go. Which leads me this: why is the story in T-2 so elementary? And why does the Terminator "feel?" I swear, there was once a day when James Cameron wasn't so damned Hollywood. What a terrible move.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Watch out for that metal cover!!! It's tough to open!
Review: Picture quality: excellent. Sound: Perfect. Metal dvd case: not the best idea in the world. As soon as you tear open the plastic you're confronted with a metal case that's as tough as the terminator on the cover! This thing doesn't budge an inch. They should have made it a tad bigger because it's not an easy task to get the real dvd case out of this thing. It tore it to shreds people!!! It ripped the plastic on the cover and scratched up the picture and the sides of the case..and this was the first time i opened it!!! It really is that hard to get to so BE CAREFUL!!! Now on to the dvd itself. On disc one you have the extended version of the movie with over 16 minutes of additional footage added and also some behind the scenes stuff and commentary by James Cameron! Disc two is a little shallow if you don't have a DVD rom for your pc. You get 2 documentaries, one that's like 20 minutes long and the other that's around 8. They're both good behind the scenes stuff but nothing spectacular. The rest of the contents like the Windows Media player version of T2 must be accesed from your computer. No trailers, tv spots, or even pictures. Overall, good buy but trust me, be careful opening it!!!

Summary: sci fi energy
Review: Thoroughly entertaining sci fi with adrenaline pumping ecstasy at many turns.

- has an interesting story continuation and is consistent with the standards of the entire series.

Great entertainment.

Summary: NOTHING GREAT ABOUT THIS ONE EITHER

After I watched this one-I went to sleep!

Its as stupid as the first one!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A robot with a Belgian accent ? ? ?
Review: Although with it's good intentions in the beginning, and special effects/ technoligical aspects, it could have been a milestone.

But, sadly, I don't agree it is.

He's back, here to protect young John Connor from the T-1000 (the truly best thing of ANYTHING of this film).
Robert Patrick can pull this act off so well, that nobody, not even our best oscar winners out there could do as well, besides he looks the part, physically, and with his ice cold stares that are stealth, he was the best choice. A great actor too-not just here, but every movie I've seen him in.
Arnold-uh...Ah-nold is really a pretty good actor....but what is a terminator/robot doing with an Austrian/Belgian accent? Please. Regular speech from your typical robot: 'Attack' or 'This does not help our mission'
Arnold's Belgian T-101 : 'Uh-tack' or 'This doz not help our meeshion'

See? Regardless, yes, his acting and character is great.
Edward Furlong has most of his character down pat, yet he slips now and then, like the 'cool dude' jokes, which , well, the way he put them, weren't funny, and was annoying with the 'rad, dude' stuff. His dialouge that was given to him wasn't the best either. Like, 'We've got Skynet by the (you know)'

WHY SO 90's cool? Even though that's the kind of dialouge going around then, it's not the kind of humour that this movie needed. They are trying too hard ! Just be funny or natural. If needed. IT'S LIKE THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE a sarcastic 90's style coooool remark. Stupid.
Linda Hamilton is trying too hard with her part. Yes, she's suppose to be angry, scared, and numb to a lot of things. Still, she did allright.
The acting with everybody, except for Robert Patrick, is a bit too tidy or pleasent for a movie that's suppose to be a thriller-sci-fi, so it comes too tight as a movie. The 'nuke ' message is not really preached, more just given as a fact, which is better. Good for Cameron on that part.
Maybe the violence, language, and even the attitude was kept that way so it was easier to understand for teens, who flockled to this movie, since it was 14-AA and not rated 'R' in a lot of places. Not fair to us. And still too violent for teens anyways.
Overall, the movie was not natural enough. Good, not great. And any other things great about the film cannot save it from this factual look at the weak parts.
The worst part is , no offense Arnold, the physique and acting skills are very good on his part.....the accent, if he couldn't skip it, then they should have kept him a mute, which wouldn't work, or get somebody else, for all three of the Terminator flicks.

P.S. - the scene where Arnold smiles while Edward Furlong agrees silently that the weapon he found looked cool on him wasn't very practical....he smiles?
A) he's a robot, and making him smile makes him less of a convincing Terminator.
B) he didn't even know WHAT a smile was or what it is to a human to smile...so why did he? They tried toooo quickly to make him toooo human. He's JUST beginning to learn. The words or lines he says that aren't the norm to him ("Hasta la vista, baby" or "He'll live") are funny, but better that he says it in a robotic way....he's a robot, so keep his disposition that way!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest futuristic movie ever!
Review: I love this action movie! I have many reasons for that
1. Speciel effects are amazing and working well
2. Arnord's T101 cyborg has lot of humanity
3. Linda acts well Sarah Conner and she is a real female
action hero
4. T1000 is the deadlist and hardest beat robot ever made!
It is real danger for John Conner!
5. The Script is carefully written
6. There are many unforgettable parts. For exemple. Nuclear bomb explose
- Director's cut version shows some very good thing what I liked much. T101's reoperating is one of them.
- If you liked first Terminator,you'll love this movie also.

Summary: Actually I would Rate this a 10
Review: This movie is brilliant all though for those of you with no DVD-Rom drive the second disc is pretty much useless. But rather than that it was a great movie. One of the Best Arnold movies to date. Being the Schwarzenegger fan that I am it was the most fanatastic Cyborgie fun I have seen since the original "The Terminator" as T3 rolled around I began to think more of it. It came more to my liking. It gave me a few jumps here and there. But thats what Sci-Fi Horror is right? Oh 1 more thing I recongnied a character in T-2 that appeared in the Nickelodian series Salute your shorts so eat your shorts. Well Keep up the good Work James Camroon and ROCK ON TERMINATOR~

I all most forgot~
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish there were words to describe this movie
Review: WOW!!! This is for sure my favorite movie of all time and I doubt I'll ever change my mind. I'm in love with this movie cause the actors are awesome(Arnold especially), action scenes 24/7, very good special effects for a 91 movie, and storyline is awesome. I know people who think matrix is really cool since it's like about us being in a computer,etc. But I'm not a big fan of that. But the story of how machines become self-aware in T2 is a really good one. Even thought that would never happen and the movie is kinda sci-fi with Arnold getting sent back in time and all...I don't pay attention to that...this movie is freakin awesome!!!
Arnold was the perfect guy for this movie and It's all cause of him this flick is such a huge hit. The whole cast did an awesome job. I watched this movie countless times...I'm a huge fan. ...
My favorite scene in T2 is when when that one lady working in that mental hospital punches Arnold's face and breaks his shades...then he just turns his face back and throws her by just shoving her face. I crack up at that part every time and I'm doing that now that I'm remembering that scene....
T1 was kinda dumb cause the special effects were really [weak], Arnold was the bad guy, there wasn't that much action like in T2, and all the music sounded like it was from a Nintendo game...lol. When I heard T3 was coming out I waited forever for that movie to come out and when I saw it I really liked it, but I didn't like it better than T2 because it didn't have John Connor in it and the new vilan (terminatrix) was kinda shady, but still good. I would give Kristana Loken a 9 and Robert Patrick a 10. ...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: T2 great movie!! But the metal case is rough and coarse.
