Summary: Excellent.
Review: Terminator was one amazing movie back in the 80's. Even though the movie was a low budget one, we see Cameron in his prime, directing at his best wih whatever material he possesses. Very well written and very good effects for the time. But when T2 came out, everybody expected Arnold to reprise his role as the assassin and when things seem to reverse themselves with the first famous "Get Down!" of the movie, we know that we are in for amazing ride. The ILM effects team went overboard and it was worth it. Not only did they create a visual smorgasboard of the most amazing special effects of 1991, they also helped to raise the standards of special effects to what they are at present. The movie itself is very satisfying, great action leading to a fantastic showdown in the steel mill. I recommend it to anybody who hasn't already seen it.

Summary: He Came Back!
Review: James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement Day was the mega-hit blockbuster of 1991. Starring Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, Edward Furlong, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the infamous T-800, the film has become one of the most beloved ScFi/Action films of all time. The sequel to Cameron's cult classic The Terminator (1986), the film picks up the story ten years after the failed 1985 assaination of Sarah Connor. Sarah (Linda Hamilton) is now locked away in a federal assylum, and John (Edward Furlong) is living with a unloving foster family. As mentioned in the film's mythic introduction, another terminator has been sent through this time to kill John as a boy. However, another terminator, ironically played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been sent to protect him. The concept of machine fighting machine for the existance of the human race was a artisitc mastersroke. The menace and invinciabily of Robert Patrick's ominous T-1000 adds the hyperkinetic spark that make this film so thrillingly fun. This innovation gives the film the creative edge and orginality to equal the first Terminator in both intensity and emotional impact. One of the most important ScFi films of the 1990's, Terminator 2: Judgement Day is an intellectually intensive action epic with much more philosophical impact than your average popcorn movie. Buy the awesome DVD verion immediately.

Summary: Great movie, but DVD missing the additional footage
Review: T2 is a classic Arnold action flick, kudos all around. But why o' why is there a VHS version of T2 with the extra scenes, but the DVD lacks them? as the title says, great movie, but the DVD disappoints. Yet another disc hurriedly thrown together to maximize on profits, but annoying to moviephiles like me. Why get a DVD that cannot deliver what the VHS can

Summary: In My Opinion The Best Movie Ever
Review: "Terminator 2" is in my opinion the best movie ever, I've seen this movie about 40 times and I think it gets better each time I watch it. This film is a rarity: A sequel that far surpasses the originial, though the first "Terminator" is one of my favorite films I still think that this movie is better. This is also the best film of the 1990's. The reason this movie is so good has nothing to do with the jaw-dropping visual effects. Effects don't make a movie better just more fun to watch, this film has an emotional side that is very moving.

Summary: One of the few sequels that was just as good as the original
Review: When I saw the first "Terminator," I was hooked. I thought that it was one of the most fantastic combinations of sci-fi, action and drama I had ever seen. I was reluctant about the sequel at first; I'd already been exposed to insipid sequels to many films that couldn't hold a candle to the original. But then, I saw it, and I have loved it ever since. This sequel to James Cameron's 1984 movie adds to the story without diluting or drastically changing the storyline, which is a great thing. It picks up where the last one left off, albeit 10 years later. Another Terminator is sent back in time to destroy the hope for all mankind. This time, instead of Sarah Connor (whose son is the future salvation for mankind in a post-apocolyptic universe) being the target, it is her son John (who is still a child) who becomes the subject of termination. Rather than have Schwarzenegger play the dreaded evil Terminator of the first film, Cameron instead has him play a Terminator who has been reprogrammed to protect young John from the dreaded T-1000 (Robert Patrick), who is a Terminator with very advanced characteristics. Sarah Connor herself has been separated from her son, declared legally insane, and spent the years since her first Terminator experience building herself up physically and emotionally, becoming very military-like, to prepare for what she knows will come. It is up to John and his Terminator protector to save both her and try to change the course of history as it will come to be known. But can they do it? Can they really alter the past in order to preserve humanity? And will they be able to avoid the T-1000 long enough to do it? I was on the edge of my seat while these questions were being answered. This film is the perfect blend of special effects and storyline, a great sci-fi/action film with a very human heart. It is great, and I love to watch it whenever I get a chance.

Summary: No film in the 90's topped this..
Review: The first Terminator - sent through time to destroy Sarah Connor - has failed. But the nightmare future portrayed in T1 remains to haunt the present. 10 years after the events in T1 a cyborg built of a mimetic poly - alloy (liquid metal) is sent back through time to destroy the child John Connor. A reprogrammed T-800 is also sent back, with a neat twist in plot to spice things up. Some stunning action scenes mark the battles between the two near - indestructible opponents, but this is not all there is to the movie. Indeed Robert Patrick's T-1000 character drops out completely for a third of the movie, a time in which the director draws the attention of the audience to some of the larger issues through dreams and revelations between the characters. The themes concerning fate, technology, and what it is to be "alive" are certainly near as big as themes can get. The T-800, which to some viewers has apparently appeared warm/fuzzy is in fact no such thing, and there are many scenes - many! - where the sheer coldness of its nature and single minded pursuit of its goal to protect its target are exposed for the simple programming that they are. There is no "love" or dedication in the human sense, although the cyborg learns new persepctives through its travels, culminating in a surprisingly emotional scene at the close. As often mentioned, the snake-like, liquid metal adversary is a masterpiece both of acting and special effects, and ushered in a new era in computer graphics. Although not as dark as the predecessor, this film was certainly prettier, and explored a wide range both of film styles and themes. Very cool.

Summary: One of the greatest movies of the 90s
Review: This is simply a brilliant sci-fi/action epic. Schwarzenegger is brilliant, Linda Hamilton plays a good part, Edward Furlong did an impressive performance and Robert Patrick was simply a cool headed villian. Better than the first, this film has my full blessing.
