Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

What does pure badassery from the future look like? A big, muscular humanoid who likes to steal biker clothes, swing his shotgun on a high speed motorcycle, wear his sunglasses even at night, and is programmed to speak with a heavy-@ss Austrian accent. This is the series in which Ahnold solidified the catch-phrase ""Ah'll be bock." And he didn't stop coming bock until we finally elected his blockbuster @ss into office. Well, I guess that's one way to stop an unstoppable killing machine. One of those rare exceptions when a sequel is better than the original. James Cameron, you are a god. This movie is one of those rare times where an original that was already pretty bad-ass is followed up by a sequel that is even more bad-asser. As someone who enjoys the category of sc...Read more

"The second Terminator production has been widely regarded as better than the first."

Because it is. Featuring improved everything, the inverted Arnie role is key to the film. Without that, the film would lose a lot of the outstanding quality it has. While the original is good, this is essentially Terminator Mark II, filling in the pitfalls of its original and far exceeding it

"Hasta la vista, baby." The second Terminator production has been widely regarded as better than the first. I do disagree with that statement, but I most certainly enjoyed this sequel. Terminator 2 now follows Sarah Connor (Hamilton) and her teenage son John (Furlong). It has been many years since the events of the first movie, and the machines in the future are now trying to kill John Connor once again. This time a more advanced, shape-shifting T-1000 (Patrick) is sent to do the job. Schwarzenegger is now the protector, and has been sent back in time to ensure John Connor survives the fight the war. For me, this was the film's biggest disappointment. I preferred Arnie as the villain rather than the protector. Because of Arnie's physical appearance he's much more nefarious and u...Read more

This is easily Arnie's best role. The number of times I have watched this film has probably reached triple figures by now, I just can't help but sit through it every time I see it on. Plenty of memorable action scenes and quotes. Even the plot is good for a sci-fi film, many a talking point can be raised concerning it. The Machines have sent back a new and improved Terminator to kill John Connor, son of Sarah - the target from the first film. This time, humanity manages to capture and reprogramme a T-800 Terminator to protect John and send him back as a bodyguard. Cue an epic clash of the titaniums which ends up with one of the most heart-wrenching scenes I've ever seen. It easily bought me to tears the first time I saw it! I'm not sure whether there is much point of reviewing this film...Read more
