Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
My Favorite Movie Of All Time (beware Spoilers ahead)
Not very often does a sequel manage to surpass the original this is one of those times.Quite simply put never, will Cinema witness a better example of Sci Fi and Action brilliance a true masterpiece.I watched this movie for the first time when I was around 7 years old almost 12 years and over 150 viewings on each viewing still manages to send shivers down my spine. While many people credit Jurassic Park as the movie that revolutionized CGI and modern SFX I beg to differ T2 came out in 1991 2 full years before JP and the effects were just as good if not better I mean the scenes featuring the liquid metal T 1000 seem realistic even today.The action scenes are are Incredible the chase scene between the T 800 (Arnold) the T 1000 and John is one of the best and most exciting chase scenes period, my personal favorite is the Cyberdyne systems heist . The score is great and the Cinematography breath taking.What truly makes this movie this amazing is not its action or its visual brilliance, its the direction and writing and performances.Granted it had a huge budget but credit must be given where it is due one cant help but admire and revere James Cameron after viewing this,he is one of the true legends of Hollywood and this is his greatest cinematic achievement not Avatar or Titanic, from the beginning to end there isn't a single dull moment and the story that unfolds is astonishing . Linda Hamilton was amazing as usual its a shame that she was offered very few good roles after this as after witnessing her amazing transformation from Sarah Connor in T1 to Sarah Connor in T2 I must say that she had the potential to be one of the greats of Hollywood, Robert Patrick gave a power packed performance and Edward Furlong at such a young age gave a splendid performance but the best performance was given by Arnold Schwarzenegger some will argue that the role was tailor made for him but still he executes it with terrific brilliance even in the emotional scenes like the final scene where a tearful John orders him not to go an he defies his order and tells him that now he knows why humans cry (another example of great writing), spectacular . Its a movie for all ages and Races if u haven't watched it yet do watch it ASAP if you have then watch it again to refresh all of your great memories of this cinematic Masterpiece. 2 Thumbs up(if only I had more thumbs).
