Consensus: T2 features thrilling action sequences and eye-popping visual effects, but what takes this sci-fi/ action landmark to the next level is the depth of the human (and cyborg) characters.

Reviews for Terminator 2: Judgment Day
This remains one of the greatest and most adored action movies of the 90s.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is more comfortable and assured here than the first time around, reprising a role so perfectly suited to the voice and physique that have established him as a larger-than-life film persona.

Top Critic ...a milestone in the evolution of action films and their now-omnipresent computer-generated imagery.
05/30/07
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is an enjoyable, often exhilarating piece of filmmaking, with a wry sense of humor to boot.
03/01/07
As a fancy mechanism fueled by the pleasure of watching legions of people and equipment being summarily destroyed, this is pretty hot stuff.

Top Critic Structured as a simple chase, the story sags midway, but the first hour and last 30 minutes display an enjoyably relentless bravura.

Oh, it's well made. It's also overproduced and overlong and the ultimate in the effects-driven movie syndrome.
08/27/03
At the end of both movies, I find myself overcome by an extraordinary swell of emotion.

Mr. Cameron has made a swift, exciting special-effects epic that thoroughly justifies its vast expense and greatly improves upon the first film's potent but rudimentary visual style.
05/20/03
Top Critic Despite all the special effects and stunts, it is the character development and the nice way the three principal actors work together that makes the film effective.
03/23/03
Arnold Schwarznegger is still the ultimate leathers-wearing, Harley-riding, lever-action shotgun-toting bad-***
03/19/03
With more than half a dozen extremely cool action sequences, it's not a couple of so-so scenes that will make it any less of an unforgettable movie, and one of the best crafted Hollywood action flicks I've seen.
09/10/02
As appealing as the film’s visuals are, it’s really the heart and soul of the characters that make T2 transcend the summer sequel dumping ground.
09/09/02
Less a sequel than a reimagining, an alternate and equally compelling take on the dark vision of the original.
