Movie Review: Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Starring: Linda Hamilton and Eddie Furlong
Characters: Sarah Connor and John Connor
Directed by: James Cameron
Tagline: It's nothing personal
Grade: A++

Another great one from Cameron. He rocks...it's established. T2 is no different. This time, it's John Connor who is targeted. He's 10 this time. His mother has been arrested and put in a mental institution, so he's all by himself. (Well, he has foster parents, but they're taken care of pretty early in the movie.) There is quite a bit of gore (it is Terminator, after all...and rated R) but if you're not too bothered by that, it's an amazing movie. It's one of the few that's as good as the first one. This is the last movie James Cameron was involved in...he wanted the movies to stop here, because they stop Judgment Day (the day where Skynet bombs the world and the Terminators take over the world) and you can tell it's the last one he made. You'd see why if you watched the third one. Anyway, if you loved the first one, you will love the second one just as much. And if you get the Special Edition, they include a scene that wasn't in the original version of the movie, and the scene involves Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) in a dream sequence. Overall...great, great movie. :)
