As a young teen I would have easily awarded T2 a 4-star rating. After watching it for the first time in my adult life, I was just a bit less impressed. The visual effects and makeup are still impressive (especially considering the film is 20 years old) and the film is well paced. The dialogue, however, is really cheesey and the acting is bad to point that it's laughable. Still, one of the better films to emerge from the sci-fi/action genre, and the best of the Terminator franchise.
A quick plot summary: an advanced and powerful "Terminator" cyborg (Robert Patrick) has been sent back in time to destroy young teen John Connor (Edward Furlong). Another Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has been sent back in time to protect John while his mother (Linda Hamilton) is in a hospital for the criminally insane. Directed by James Cameron.
