 Terminator 2: Judgment Day Terminator 2: Judgment Day Quote: Terminator 2: Judgment Day, commonly abbreviated T2, is a 1991 science fiction action film directed, co-written, and co-produced by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, and Robert Patrick. A sequel to 1984's The Terminator, it follows the characters of Sarah Connor (Hamilton, reprising her role from the original film) and her son John (Furlong) as they are pursued by a new, more advanced Terminator, the liquid metal shape-shifting T-1000 (Patrick). Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the Terminator, but while the character was the antagonist of the first film, in Terminator 2 he is a protagonist, defending John and Sarah from the T-1000 and assisting them in their attempt to prevent Judgment Day, a future event in which machines will begin to exterminate humanity.
Terminator 2 was a significant box office and critical success. It had an impact on popular culture, and is considered hugely influential in the genres of action and science fiction. The film's visual effects included many breakthroughs in computer-generated imagery, marking the first use of natural human motion for a computer-generated character and the first partially computer-generated main character. It received many accolades, including four Academy Awards for makeup, sound mixing, sound editing, and visual effects.

One of the best action movies ever. Period. The best of the series, and a hell of a good time. Arnold did a great job. One of the best movies of the 90's, and Arnold's personal best.
My Grade: A+

Ditto everyone. One of the best films of the 90s. Best sequel ever. Best action movie ever. Best Sci-Fi movie ever. Simply an amazing movie. Hoe foolish of me to like T3 over this...

One of the best action movies ever. This movie is so amazing in every single aspect. The DC is even better with Schwarzenegger trying to smile.  It will always be one of my favorites. A+

Hoe foolish of me to like T3 over this... You're kidding right? Well, when I saw T3, it had been up to 8 years since I had seen T2. I knew what had happened in both Terminator films prior, but I couldn't have known how good it was...I was six. It's not that I actually liked T3 better, it's just that I didn't know T2 enough. _________________

One of the best action flicks ever made, best James Cameron movie, best Arnie movie and if it wasn't for The Matrix, it'd be the best sci-fi action movie of all time as well.

Leagues better then the original. Without a doubt the best sequel ever made, and one of the best sci-fi/action movies ever.

James Cameron is a God. He has to be. There are so few directors that can make films the way he can. In fact I would go out on a limb here and say that besides Spielberg ( who himself is a God ) no one can make films the way he can. Terminator was a great film. But T2 is really heads and shoulders above it. Sequels don't usually surpass the original, but this one sure did.
T2 explores so many of the same issues as the first one but it goes deeper into them. It gives us more visuals of what a desolate future would be like after a nuclear war. And it gives more reason to be pessimistic towards our own species. " We're not going to make it, are we? " John asks the Terminator. " It's in your nature to desroy yourselves. " How chilling is that? And how true? As a sci-fi/action movie, this is one of the best. But this could also be taken on the same level as a horror film. Just an incredibly expensive and well made horror film.
What an idea to add to the first films paranoia by not just having Arnold come back to play a good Terminator, but to have the seemingly invincible T-1000 become the enemy added a whole new dimension to the film.
This film has a bigger budget and it had higher expectations but it did not cease from being dark and intelligent enough to make us think. It also has some great humour. And Arnold doesn't disappoint, he utter the famous line " I'll be back! "
T2 is a movie miracle. It is so well made and enteraining while having a message that it is quite simply one of the best films ever made. I love what James Cameron does when he is behind a camera and I loved this movie. It is a true work of art. And one hell of an entertaining film.

For me already a classic. 10/10
Even it is about time travel etc I have the feeling "Actually that could happen right now". This movie has an outstanding real touch for a sci-fi.

This film fucking Rocks, James Cameron is awsome. It's easily in my top 5 movies of all time, would have been my 1 or 2 but I thought the kid over acted in some scenes
It's still an A+

Pretty much the best action film ever made. I never grow tired of watching this. The perfect blend of action, sci-fi, thrills, and even comedy. In my top ten of all-time.

Serviceable action movie that undid most of the fun of the first Terminator by turning him into a hero, when the appeal of Terminator was scariest villain of all time.

Also loses points for the unbelievably annoying kid.
