Advantages: Fun, fast, well casted

Disadvantages: Massive plot holes

Now, in many peoples views, it is sacriligeous to claim that the sequel is better, but the majority of terminator fans will agree with me when i say this is the best, as its mix of humour, action, and pairing up for Furlong and Schwarzenegger makes this a 90's classic.

Plot-
John Connor (Edward Furlong) is now ten years old, but is still mankinds best hope for the future war with machines, and so the machines have once again sent back a terminator to kill him. Bring on Robert Patrick as the T-1000, a newer and more deadly machine that can turn into pretty much any shape or person it wishes. However, this time the humans have sent back the same model of terminator from the first movie (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to protect John. As you can imagine, this creates a great opportuntity for epic battles between two 'indestructible' machines.

The action here is over the top and intense as hell, as the two machines clash in a variety of scenes set around Los Angeles, as the fight out through malls, highways, and those strange sewer like passgaes you get in LA that i don't know what the hell are called...
The scenes never get too violent, and it is more like watching two cranes box with each other throughout than two guys fighting. The movie at times does have some fairly greusome scenes, so i wouldn't advise this for kids, but if your as irresponsible as me then go ahead!

Arnie is a delight as the terminator, and this time round he plays the good guy, and fits the role of the learning terminator perfectly as a father figure for Furlong's character. Furlong too excells and fits the role well of the kid who is at first terrified of the machine, but then starts to treat him like his play buddy.

Patrick is also on top form here as the very cold T-1000, who kills throughout without mercy or emotion, and only uses his charm, or human appeal to lead him towards the kill.

Though viewers must overlook the major plot holes, such as the many events that change the course of history in the movie seemingly having no effect on the actual future events, but thats a whole other kettle of fish. And hey, this movie is popcorn perfection, and shouldn't be overly analysed. Just sit back, and enjoy:)

This is probably my last ever review on dooyoo, due to my new job being pretty hectic, so i'd just like to say thanks to all my pals on this for rating me, an i hope you all have a good time! X

Summary: Great blockbuster action
