Really there is very little that I did not love about Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Although admittedly not true horror I enjoyed Terminator and Terminator 2 immenseely. The thing that I enjoyed most about the sequel was the complete about face this movie takes from the first one. Where as in the first one the Terminator was out to kill Sarah Conner this go around the Terminator is sent back to save John Conner and his mom from destruction at the hands of a new much more dangerous Terminator that not only is designed to kill humans.. but other Terminators.

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the Terminator in this explosive action-adventure spectacle. Now he’s one of the good guys, sent back in time to protect John Connor, the boy destined to lead the freedom fighters of the future. Linda Hamilton reprises her role as Sarah Connor, John's mother, a quintessential survivor who has been institutionalized for her warning of the nuclear holocaust she knows is inevitable.  Together, the threesome must find a way to stop the most lethal Terminator ever created.  Co-written, produced and directed by James Cameron, this visual tour de force is also a touching human story of survival.

Overall Terminator 2 is a great film that offers lots of action, cool special fx and plenty of witty one liners to entertain. Although admittedly this go around the movie is much less dark and failed to bring back the charm of the first film. Where as in the first film the Terminator was the definition of 'dont screw with me' this new Terminator was a bit to sugary and although the new Terminator Model was definitely dangerous it was by no means scary.... or intimidating like the first film was. In the first movie Arnold acted the part perfectly delivering carnage on a large scale as he made his way to finding Sarah Conner and killing her. I would say that Terminator 2 is definitely a must buy but its very much action scifi missing the horror this go around where as the first one, despite its low budget was horror/scifi with mix of great action. Check it out if you have not already seen it for whatever reason.
