Terminator 2: Judgement Day - #854
[1991] [James Cameron]
2.5 / 5
Synopsis:
Another terminator is sent back in time to kill John Connor before he can grow up and lead the resistance against the machines.
Opinion:
A better version than the original, mainly due to the higher quality special effects and the introduction of a stronger, and more fascinating supporting character in T-1000.
Schwarzenegger seems to now become more confident in his Terminator character, and using this, James Cameron insert some wry and occassionally funny references to the original Terminator film.
Linda Hamilton, reprising her Sarah Connor role is more than adequate in what is essentially a leading female aciton hero role. She is limited by her characters role and those around her but ends up performing well amongst a load of special effects.
The real miscast of this film is Edward Furlong as the young John Connor. His performance seemed stilted and lacking the relevant emotion required under the narrative, and because of that, the audience loses a sense of affection towards his character that otherwise should have been there.
Overall, an improvement on the original film, and certainly some enjoyable action sequences, in particular the Police Cycle and Helicopter scene.
