Summary: Best SCI-FI film of the decade
Review: James Cameron did an awesome job with T2. Sequels normally are terrible when compared to the originals, but James Cameron did it. Terminator 2 has unheard of visuals, and make-up. The story has been told before, but Cameron makes you feel as if it was totally new. Good performances all around. Robert Patrick is especially excellent as the menacing T-1000.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Three letters; W-O-W
Review: Those three letters basicly tell it all. I was extreamly impressed by the movie. It is my favorite [next to the Matrix]. The action never stops, and the specail efects are enough to leave you begging for more. I have seen this movie at least nine times and I still havent gotten bored of it. If you have not seen it this is a MUST-HAVE movie. DVD makes it all the more better with the original letter-box veiw. There is also no way they could have made this movie without Schwarzennagger. He is the perfect pick for the terminator. The suspence, the action, and the special effects makes this a must see, have, and brag-about movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Only 4 stars
Review: Okay, I loved T2. But it was one little problem, it should be more action. It was a little slow, you know, takes the boy, runs from the other terminator, save the world and. . . . Well, that in 2 1/2 hours. But hey, it's a very good action movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a movie classic
Review: This is the rare type of movie that can be looked at two ways. If you saw the first movie, it's a good continuation of the story with eye popping special effects. If this your first expierence with the movie, you still will catch on the gist of the story with the special effects. Either way it's a good story of human nature and the fear of machines too smart for humans own good. The special effects were trailblazers for movies such as the matrix and even jurrasic park. Just about every action movie fan will like this. Some may not though because it basically is a violent movie with good intentions. Overall, a must for the man with a dvd player.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Get ready for one of the best DVD`s This Year.
Review: I seen the Special Edition on video-cassette, five years ago. It`s a good thing, People with DVD Players must been waiting for Three Years for this special edition, Since the theatrical version came out in DVD. This DVD is going to hell with a lot of great extras, just like recent Special Edition-The Abyss, also directed by Cameron with you get 2 different version of the film with great picture and sound. This DVD of Terminator 2, will be great also to see. Including two different separate audio commentaries by Director Cameron and Star-Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fans of James Cameron out there, will enjoy this Special edited version of the film or Original theatrical relase, you choose, what version is better for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The way T2 should have been the first time
Review: This is the sequel to Terminator, James Cameron's first majr blockbster. The basic story of T2 is two cyborgs(Arnold Schwartzenegger and Robert Patrick) are sent back in time. One to kill the future leader of the human resistance in the war with super intelligent machines(John Connor AKA Edward Furlong), the other to protect him. Unlike the first Terminator, Schwartzenegger plays the role of the hero and is more humane in his actions. Like most of James Cameron's movies, special effects are outstanding, as is the action. However, there has always been one thing that has always bugged me about Cameron's movies. The theatrical releases are often cut to shorten the experience and take away from the actual story being presented. Examples of this are "The Abyss" and "Aliens". There is more action, with a better symbolisation of motherhood in Aliens with lost footage intact. In the Abyss, characters are given more depth with the alien encounter becoming all the more profound in the special edition. And just like those two movies, Terminator 2 is a far more superior film when presented in it's complete form compared to its theatrical doppleganger. Charcaters are given more life, especially Arnie in his interactions with Furlong which go a long way to explaining Arnies more cuddly side, as well Sarah Connor's(Linda Hamilton) concerns over the machine which is watching over her son. Highlights of the new footage are the scene where Furlong opens up Arnies's head to reprogramme him, and the Sarah's dream where Kyle Reese(Michael Biehn, the hero from the first movie) forewarns her about the impending danger that their son is about to face. This is by far a superior edition. Forget the theatrical edition. This is the way the movie should have been. (I've heard rumors that Titanic is missing twenty minutes of footage. Could Cameron's record with special editions continue? We'll have to wait and see. ^_^)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Will he be back?
Review: Arney baby is just like the most incredible actor in the action world. When I saw this one, I realized that he could easily be the President of the U.S. if he were only American. Hope he'll be back for Terminator III.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An ultimately more human film then the first.
Review: If the first Terminator was about the past, this one is about the future our future it's an human action movie wich makes Judgement Day so unique is it's ability to entertain you with awsome action , while in the same respect giving you an emotional story.And Terminator 2 has never looked better on DVD it captures the essence that it did 9 years ago it is a classic action movie and always will be it rises among the best the James Camoron has ever done because its not just and action movie it's thought pravoking and the best film Arnold has ever done with crystal clear picture and sound T2 is here for you to capture now and forever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunning
Review: Most sequels are criticised because they are just inferior rehases of the original film. "Terminator 2 - Judgement Day" is that rare thing - a sequel that is as good, if not better, than the original. James Cameron piles on the grit, black humor and superb action in what is a worthy sequel to his 1984 horror fantasy classic "The Terminator". As well as a great story, this film has eye-popping special effects (which set new cinematic standards back in 1991 and still look incredible) and one of the most invincible villans ever imagined.

Arnold Schwarzanegger makes a re-appearence here as the Terminator, but this time he is the good guy. He is sent back through time to protect a young boy called John Connor (Edward Furlong) from the T-1000 Super Cyborg, (Robert Patrick), a more advanced Terminator whose liquid metal shape changing abilities make him seemingly unstoppable. John Connor will eventually grow up to become the future world leader and save mankind, which is why the T-1000 wants to kill him.

This film also benefits from great performances from its human stars. John Connor (Furlong) and his mother Sarah Connor (making a reappearence here, played by Linda Hamilton) make the characters seem very believable - so the viewer feels sympathy towards them. Schwarzanegger also adds nice deadpan humor - "Were you gonna kill him?" John Connor asks Schwarzanegger of one victim. "Of course I was" snaps the big man. "I`m a Terminator".

The British viewer gets extra value for money here, as there is extra footage not seen in UK Cinemas. Hasta la vista, baby!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: sure it's violent, but then....
Review: ....so are the possible futures we create for ourselves. From the standpoint of depth psychology, science fiction can be thought of as an unconscious but meaningful imaginal extrapolation of where we'll end up if we don't change our collective course right now. As Dr. Glen Slater would point out, the cyborg is a good image for the loss of our humanity in a culture increasingly dominated by mechanistic thought ("Things are in the saddle and ride mankind," as Emerson noted long ago). On another level, the film is a good story with lots of action and special effects; Arnold is convincing as a human-shaped tank of a Terminator reprogrammed to be dumb and helpful, and Linda Hamilton does well as the strong and cynical Sarah Connor, mother and protector of the future. (Wish I could look up HER number in the phone book...)
