If you didn't think it could get any better than "The Terminator", then you haven't seen "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"! This is one of the best sequels of any movie ever done! The story is fantastic, the acting is great, the special effects are ground-breaking and nearly perfect, the make-up effects are better than ever, and the action is non-stop!
This is definitely one of those films that I wish I could erase my own memory and watch again for the first time! There's no other way to put it, I love this movie! I've probably seen this film more than any other.
The story is perfectly told, working seemlessly with the original Terminator film. The special effects are truly fantastic! The design for the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the T-1000 are brilliant!
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the perfect T-800, as he did in the original Terminator film. Robert Patrick will forever be ingrained in my memory as the T-1000, he IS the T-1000 and is surely the perfect choice for the role. Linda Hamilton does a particularly good job with her role. The contrast between her "Sarah Connor" of the first Terminator film and the "Sarah Connor" of this film are very different, but with good reason. She definitely worked out a lot for this role and pulls off her best performance to date (in my opinion). The scene where she first sees the T-800 is EXCELLENT! Edward Furlong, Earl Boen, Joe Morton, Jenette Goldstein and Xander Berkeley also pull off nice performances.
What it all boils down to is this. If you like the first film and have been putting off seeing this film, you need to stop wasting time and go see this film. I wouldn't even bother renting it, just go buy it, it's worth it. If you haven't seen any of the Terminator films, then I would recommend seeing the first film then seeing this one...although you could probably put the pieces together without having seen the first one...but nonetheless you should still see them both. If you're one of the last remaining people on earth that hasn't seen this film, then I hope you enjoy it. I know I did. Thanks for reading and be sure to read my review on "The Terminator".
