The film looks very fresh even 32 years after its release. I think it is difficult to do so even now

Whilst the effects are obviously with that nineties style, with rear projection and early CGI, they are still incredibly impressive and have that tangible reality to them that elevates them beyond modern CGI-only effects. The sound design is also excellent, memorable and pretty-much faultless. The writing is fantastic and this is what, combined with the groundbreaking effects, elevates this to be a truly timeless classic. The acting and characters contribute to the story and effects. It’s not one aspect that is good, it is all aspects of this film. I even like the 3D conversion they did, it gave us another way to watching this classic. The story really builds on the first film. The action is exciting. The pacing perfect. Shame James Cameron’s newer films are not as good, along with Aliens (1986) this is the peak of his career in my opinion. It’s an awesome action film, the likes of which only come many years apart. Everything about it is totally kickass brilliant. Expand

The original Terminator film is one of the greatest films of the action genre, and still holds up as a fantastic film, not just of its genre but in general too. Terminator 2: Judgement Day is considered one of the best sequels ever made, andThe original Terminator film is one of the greatest films of the action genre, and still holds up as a fantastic film, not just of its genre but in general too. Terminator 2: Judgement Day is considered one of the best sequels ever made, and it is a consensus that I agree with. While it does lack somewhat in its predecessor's darkness and brutality, it delivers just as much in the writing and action and feels bigger and richer.

Here in Terminator 2: Judgement Day the budget is clearly bigger. This is especially true in the special effects, they were the only things in the first film that didn't hold up as well as the rest of the film but they were still not bad at all, here the effects are stunning, the liquid melting effects on the T-1000 model blow the mind still today. It is photographed slickly and beautifully, maintaining the dark audaciousness of the first film., and while the sets and lighting are not quite as nightmarish they are every bit as imaginative and atmospheric. It is superbly directed by James Cameron, and it's scored appropriately hauntingly.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day's script is just as snappy and even takes on a hard-edged tone in some parts, more so than the original, while the roller-coaster action is thrilling in every sense, without being overblown or dominating the film too much at the expense of depth, the bigger budget aiding and adding to the experience rather than swamping it. The story is still enormous fun, beautifully paced with few if any longueurs and very suspenseful.

Linda Hamilton gives another terrific performance, that is more depth than her performance in the first film, Robert Patrick is spine-chilling and once again Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast in by far his most conic role that was tailor-made for him.

In conclusion, a fantastic sequel that deserves its distinction as one of the best sequels ever made. It's the only Terminator sequel to be close to the quality of the original, and the only one that's above good level. For me, if asked which is the better film between the first film and this they're about equal, in their own ways 10/10 Bethany Cox

How they deal with Sarah Connors character arc shows a real strength of character from the end of T1 throughout T2. Expand

I cannot imagine another actor representing the character. John's character was also interesting but Sarah's character was not that strong as compared to the original. The plot, soundtrack, acting... everything in the movie was great.

Overall, I would recommend this movie to everyone.

On the whole, a very clever reinvention of the original. And while it's in some ways inferior to the first, it has at least dated a bit better (thanks to a little thing called "CGI" that was starting to appear in movies).

It had a good mixture of action, character development withOne of the best movie sequels of all time and it earned its place in movie / pop culture history. It was carefully made, plays with expectations and delivers an amazing experience. It had a good mixture of action, character development with an immersive story. Lets start at the beginning: The Terminator was already a really good experience and the story could easily be continued. It is the standard Hollywood rule that if a movie is successful enough you get a sequel no matter what (Curse and blessing of the industry). It took still quite a while until they started. A frequent reason I read were production issues and that the special effects technology was not good enough. However after solving the issues they could start. Luckily they get the best assets back with James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton atop of many people behind the screen. The story is set approx 10 years after the prequel. The supercomputer Skynet who is at war with humanity in the future sends another Terminator to get rid of John Connor who will lead the human resistance to victory. Again the resistance does send one of them back to stop the Terminator. This sounds firstly like a warmed up retelling or re-shoot of Terminator 1 but you will be surprised how good the story will become and how much effort was put into it (I am vague on purpose to avoid spoilers). The story itself has a lot of good ideas some twists and a mixture of action, story telling and character development / interaction that makes it hard to find flaws. Of cause you can find smarter solutions for Skynet to eliminate John like a virus pandemic or a high bounty to let ruthless humans do the hard work. However these are just thoughts or ideas and will not be used against the movie. I will continue with the actors. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to his most iconic role and fully delivers. Same goes for Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. She also fully delivers and got a lot of character development. Then we got Robert Patrick who is the best addition to the movie. Edward Furlong as (young) John Connor is one of the few good child actors that also started successful career later. He is absolutely believable and relatable. I want to point out for the rest of the cast that there is not one missed scene or awkward acting moment I can remember. Everything fits into the narrative and I think I should praise James Cameron as director (also writer and producer). Visually the movie sets new standards for its time. Be it the sets or especially the special effects. While some special effects look not that impressing today they were amazing and baffled the audience. Then there are of cause the action sequences and they do nothing halfhearted. Often I hold my breath because these were so intense, immersive and entertaining. The stunt team deserves credits. Overall this is rightfully named as one of the best sequels of all times and outclasses the prequel. It is one of the most well know movies of all time, pop culture legend and so carefully made that it is easy to recommend. It is the best of the franchise and the kind of movie all later installments try to reach or surpass (Hint: They never came close again). Expand

It is also one ofThis film is one of the action classics that has never left television since it premiered. And it is also a film that I saw as a child, and that I stop to watch almost every time it is on television, which happens regularly. It is also one of the rare and commendable examples of a cinema sequel that went far beyond the initial film and became memorable in all aspects.

In this film, John Connor is a troubled and rebellious boy. He doesn't know, but one day he will be the head of a guerrilla that will fight for humanity in a war against machines. He discovers this when he faces a fearsome liquid metal killer, an Exterminator, sent from the future to assassinate him. But he will be able to count on the help of another machine: an older version of Terminator, like the one that, fifteen years earlier, pursued his mother, Sarah, and that he himself, in the future, will send to the past, aware of that it will save your life.

If it is action that we are looking for, this film takes that expectation seriously: what it offers us is pure and hard action. And there are few action films that turn out to be so absolutely incredible. The film barely lets us breathe, and the way it develops is remarkable. We have mind-boggling pursuits in which a man on foot chases a car, we have shootings and explosions in almost every sequence and the sense of danger and tension that it creates is genuine and follows us to the end. Speaking of the ending... it's hard to imagine a more moving and emotional ending scene. In addition to the ending, the action sequences at the hospital and at Skynet headquarters are worthy of anthology.

In this film, the star is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has built up an image of toughness and, in fact, he is tough like no other actor before him: he looks indestructible and has iron determination. Even so, there are moments when he gives psychological and emotional depth to his character, a killer machine, and that is enough to have a sense of the actor's quality. Linda Hamilton goes back to the role she already knows, but leaves behind the naive girl from the first film: here, she is a woman of arms, determined and with a colossal inner strength. Edward Furlong also achieves his most successful role here. He seemed perfect in the role of a rebel without a cause and has a perfect collaboration with Schwarzenegger. Robert Patrick is usually the actor that people stand out the least, but I think he was impeccable in the role of the villain and that he put a lot of effort in the role. Joe Morton, Earl Boen and Castulo Guerra also make a positive contribution in supporting roles.

James Cameron ensures an inspired direction and achieves, with this film, one of the most impressive works of his career. Filmed and premiered in 1991, the film is extraordinarily up-to-date: if I didn't know what the film is, I could assume it is a recent production. Cinematography is magnificent, dark at the right times, and the sets and costumes are good. But it is the visual and special effects that transform the film into something even more impactful, especially with regard to the T-1000 and its liquid forms. They look like current effects, made with modern techniques. Before finishing, a word of praise for the main theme of the soundtrack, designed by Brad Fiedel and, undoubtedly, one of the most striking songs in cinema.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton return in Terminator 2 also directed by James Cameron and made in 1990....... Terminator 2 has a similar plot to the original but instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger being the killing type of Terminator he's the protector of Sarah Connor's son, John Connor played by Edward Furlong. However a newer machine even more deadlier and advanced than Schwarzenegger's T-800 is sent too to Kill John Connor and can shapeshift, immitate humans and do allsorts of clever things. The shapeshifting enemy is the T-1000 played by Robert Patrick so we have two machines, one programmed to destroy and the other to protect. Terminator 2 has great performances by Linda Hamilton, Arnie and Robert Patrick and amazing stunts, action scenes, violence and special effects and the almost constant use of blue lighting. Great film but the original one for me is better because it's just darker and violent. Expand

While Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a great movie, it is a film that must necessarily be seen with the additional footage to be 100% understood.
However, we are still facing a movie that is simply perfect in its film genre.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The sequel of The Terminator (1984) was way better than I expected. Because of the ratings in many websites like Rotten Tomatoes, the first one (100%) was rated higher than this one, the sequel (93%), also in Metacritic was the same, Terminator in 1984 got 84% and Judgment Day just got 75%. Metacritic rated so terribly. But in IMDb was fair. The Terminator Saga is one of the franchises that had its sequel better the the original like the Spider-Man Trilogy directed by Sam Raimi or the X-Men franchise. Schwarzenegger was still T-800 but with a different mission. The last time we saw him as a villain, well in here he was sent to protect Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton)’s son, John Connor (Edward Furlong) who would lead an army to destroy the machines in the future. He was still a kid that time but his performance wasn’t bad. He was great with different emotions and good acting. In here, I liked Hamilton’s performance more than the previous film, she was a mother, a badass fighter and she was addicted to cigarettes. I also loved the way she looked but I didn’t like the way she got drunk. Schwarzenegger just got much better. In here, there’s a new villain called the T-1000 played by Robert Patrick, a better and more modern prototype. He could morph into liquid metal and used his hand as various weapons. The way the CGI was edited was really awesome. The cinematography was great as well. It was filled with a lot of great and classic moments. The action sequence here was a lot better, especially the liquid metal (I’ve already mentioned that) and the battle between the good guys and the SWAT. The CGI was well-edited there with lots of shooting and explosions caused by Schwarzenegger’s T-800. The strong violence and sci-fi actions didn’t really make this move deserve an R-Rated. It was totally safe for 13 and 14 year-olds. I didn’t see anything too bloody, just T-800 cutting his arm, that’s it. I really didn’t like the idea the the whole Terminator Saga would be rated R. It’s just sci-fi, actions and little violence. Nobody would be afraid, they’re gonna like it. That’s something I don’t like about the movie and the rest of the Saga. The final battle was extremely epic when T-1000 knocked down T-800 and then Sarah came to knock some of T-1000’s ass. Then T-800 came up lying on a giant clockwork and holding a rifle that caused destruction shot at T-1000 and he fell into the lava (maybe?) and melted. The way the villain died was just so satisfying. This is one of James Cameron’s masterpieces of sci-fi. He got really good with the CGI and I’m looking forward to see the 3-D version of Judgment Day released in 2017 with better cinematography and maybe I could feel that I’m in there. This one was definitely my favorite of the Terminator Saga.

T2 is not nearly as thrilling and suspenseful as the original. And that's why I found this sequel, which considered to be even superior to the original, slightly underwhelming. The action set-pieces are almost as good as those in the first movie, and due to the the fact that this one has a massively higher budget, the action sequences feel even more well-shot. The visual effects look fantastic, and surprisingly still hold up pretty well. But the problem isn't about the action nor the CGI; it's about the situations and the conditions here that couldn't make me worry about the characters as I should. Even at its climax, the intensity pale in comparison to that's I felt whenever a car chase or a small fighting scene come in the original.

Another issue I have with this movie is that it drags a little bit at its second act. I don't mean it gets boring at all, but it feels a bit devoid and empty halfway through. Maybe better storytelling could have fixed that. I also have a couple of nitpicks, but I can't say they hindered my experience of watching the movie.

That said, James Cameron doubled down almost every single aspect in the story and the characters to make a new extremely taut story that expanded the characters' arc like I've never seen before in any film. The dialogue between the three main characters and even the story itself revealed that the characters, humans or cyborgs, have extra more layers into them. Even the villain is effortlessly well-rounded, and he oozes the impressive development Cameron has made in this world, that of course in addition to the fact that Robert Patrick is quite intimidating and so iconic as T-1000.

There is nothing can top what have been already said about Linda Hamelton's character, Sarah Connor, which definitely deserves its place among the absolute best female characters ever appeared on the silver screen. With that being said, I prefer to praise the astonishing chemistry between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edward Furlong as the titular cyborg and John Connor, respectively. From the spot-on jokes and funny one-liners to the surprisingly moving and heartwarming scenes the two characters shared, the dynamic between these two endearing characters is simply unmatchable! Furlong is sadly a wasted talent that proved in this movie and American History X that he has a grand range and monumental acting abilities. Here he walked a very thin line between being an imprudent, reckless teen and an innocent child to bring out a likable, relatable, and quite convincing character.

Judgment Day is undoubtedly one of the best sequels ever made, but in my opinion it didn't surpass the original, nor even reach its level. That's in large part due to its relative lack of suspense that's arguably the best merit the original has.

Arnold was such a beast back in time and this movie is such a gem for him to be in it. Nobody could have done better than him for that role.

Sarah Connor played by Linda Hamilton is also what any true real feminist should thrive for. This is an amazing character played by an amazing women. This have nothing to do with the nonsense SJW modern feminazi toxic stuff that we are currently experiencing.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the special achievement that you all been waiting for, the sequel to the first film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Well, here it is, the sequel to The Terminator directed by James Cameron. It won 4 Oscars at theLadies and gentlemen, welcome to the special achievement that you all been waiting for, the sequel to the first film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Well, here it is, the sequel to The Terminator directed by James Cameron. It won 4 Oscars at the Academy Awards. One for Best Sound, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup. It was the highest grossing film of 1991 making up to $519 million over $102 million budget. How unbelievable is that? With Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor narrating having his son John Connor become the Human Resistance leader against Skynet - the artificial intelligence that will be given control of the United States' nuclear missiles and initiate a nuclear holocaust called ''Judgment Day'' on August 1997. But this film came out in 1991 so there's no way that'll happen in real life. Sarah was arrested and imprisoned at a mental hospital after attempting to bomb a computer factory. So why didn't it show about what happened back there? Why didn't it show about what happened after she got pregnent to John Connor and she got arrested? Oh well. Anyways, Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as The Terminator, this time a good guy. He went to the bar, wore somebody's clothes, took some sun glasses and ride off into the motorcycle. But then, a new terminator called T-1000 played by Robert Patrick is sent back in time to assassinate John Connor but was confronted by The Terminator who is sent back in time to protect John Connor. You can see why The Terminator is the second terminator and he become good because the first from the first Terminator movie is evil 'cause Sarah killed it. As the Terminator shoots T-1000, you can see that he is liquid metal. He can go through objects, walk through fire and become different people. The visual effects on T-1000 is absolutely incredible. Earl Boen as Dr. Silberman is a psychiatrist of Sarah Connor. He only had a small from the first film. He sounds like Rex from Toy Story. He sounds so similar than Wallace Shawn. I don't know. I just thought about it years ago. Michael Biehn has a cameo role in this and his acting is brilliant in this where he warns Sarah that John Connor's the target now. The scene where The Terminator and John called the Foster parents and The Terminator can imitate voices and realizing they're already dead. So The Terminator and John breaks Sarah free from the hospital and T-1000. They rescued Sarah and The Terminator says ''Come with me if you want to live.'' Damn, I forgot about that quote from the first Terminator film like what Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese said and The Terminator imitating the voices. I like the scene where Sarah stops Miles Dyson, creator of Skynet played by Joe Morton from letting Judgment Day happen. The Terminator and John arrive at his house and warns him to destroy the items and the designs in Cyberdyne. There's an amazing scene where The Terminator cut his arm and pulls his off making him realize that he's a cyborg. So they went into the Cyberdyne building to destroy all the stuff and retrieve the CPU and the arm. Miles Dyson get shot and sacrifices himself by exploding the entire building. Now there's no way for him to kill himself because he got shot, I really like him. I really like that scene actually is because he gasping repeatedly and says ''I don't know how much longer I can hold this.'' I use to say that when I was feeling sick years ago. The chase scene and the final battle between The Terminator, Sarah, John and T-1000 is phenomenal. I even love the part where Arnold says ''Hasta la vista, baby.'' The final scene where the Terminator says goodbye to John Connor is actually kinda sad but aside from that he says '' I know now why you cry, but it is something I could never do.'' and went into the lava and gives John a thumbs up. Many people love this movie just like I do so does my friends Jacob Dimmock, Thomas Raddings and Shannon Walker. Everybody's a huge fan of The Terminator films. I definitely think the first and the second are as good as each other. Much like from the 1980s, it's not classed as a horror film. It's more than the 80s sci-fi action film much like what James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd did. This movie is kind of long. I think it's 147 mins long. Not that long though but it's considered be the longest film of the franchise. As far as sequels go, this movie is considered one of the best, most greatest films of all times much like my favorite film The Terminator the first one. But the first Terminator doesn't include at the Oscars it's still one of the greatest films of all time much like the sequel. From the beauty and the majesty of The Silence of the Lambs and Disney's Beauty and the Beast, this movie is most thrilling, most watchable, most greatest and most high rated movie at all time. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'm back! Expand

My thoughts are this film is among the best action movies ever made easily in the top 10 ever made James Francis Cameron did a great Job directing, and so too did the effects, makeup, and animatronics department all did a fantastic job here.

James Cameron shows a lot of unique ideas and cool (although dated by today's standards) special effects. It loses the dark, almost noir-esque tone from the previous film. It's definitely is focused on being more of a big spectacle action film.

However the film doesn't lose it's brain as a result. It's still a thoughtful sci-fi film. The time traveling aspect is handled well. Some light touches of humor and emotional drama make it a movie that can be more accessible to a wider audience. Thankfully, without losing too much of what made it's predecessor so great.

Cameron shows he isn't afraid to change things up for his sequel. Grander ambition all around make it a sequel that's better than it's predecessor in just about every way. With a standout performance from Schwarzenegger, meticulously crafted action, and cool sci-fi elements, and you have a film that can please just about everyone. It's an action film with more brains behind it than the average affair.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before you all murder me for what I'm about to say, just hear me out. Terminator 2 is an average film, and I'll tell you why:

Pros:

1. Special Effects.
2. The T-1000.
3. Proves that sequels don't always run out of ideas.
4. The fights are good (but get kind of repetitive eventually).
5. "Hasta la vista, baby!" is almost as good as the classic "I'll be back."
6. After eight years, Arnie still looks hip and young.

Cons:

1. The lack of suspense, unlike the first film.
2. The T-800 says he won't kill anyone, but he eventually kills numerous cops.
3. The action feels almost identical to the first Terminator.
4. The part where Sarah Connor narratez the movie when John and the T-800 bond is emotionless.

After not enjoying the first Terminator, it took me a while to get around to the second installment in the franchise, but I am very glad that I finally watched it. A brilliant action film that is perfectly directed by James Cameron,After not enjoying the first Terminator, it took me a while to get around to the second installment in the franchise, but I am very glad that I finally watched it. A brilliant action film that is perfectly directed by James Cameron, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is well ahead of its time in terms of special effects and is overall just a very well done and very entertaining spectacle. Arnold Schwarzenegger is great here as the Terminator and Linda Hamilton is very strong as Sarah Connor. The child actor who plays John Connor is pretty spotty and the film itself can be a little campy at times, but it never fails to entertain. Beautifully filmed action sequences combine with good drama here to make a very good film that is also very well written and quite funny at times. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is what big budget action movies should look and feel like. Expand

Striking a perfect balance between well acted drama and intelligent, edge of your seat action, James Cameron's follow up to The Terminator is bigger and better in every sense of the word.

Terminator 2 is what all action films aspire to be. This film has changed big budget action films for the better. The characters have so much depth. Arnold is so likeable for the audience which was something I wasn't expecting and I love thatTerminator 2 is what all action films aspire to be. This film has changed big budget action films for the better. The characters have so much depth. Arnold is so likeable for the audience which was something I wasn't expecting and I love that James Cameron allowed him to be the hero in this film, besides Robert Patrick makes an outstanding villain. Linda Hamilton kicks ass and is the flag carrier for woman action stars I wish Hollywood would realize how effective she is in this movie and start casting more women in strong roles. Edward Furlong also stands out as John Connor. Young actors can drag down a film in a lot of circumstances but he is another strong point and I love the interaction between him and Arnold, its priceless. James Cameron bettered the first Terminator in almost everyway here, the CGI is great and the action still holds up after almost 25 years. Expand
