Maybe the critics don't like this one, but for viewers it is first class entertainment.Great action and special effects keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie. Classic - the best in the series. Watch it - it's hard not to have a great time.
Gerrick C. gave it a10:
T2 is the best out of all the Terminator movies. What we have here is a masterfully made movie that tell the story of a future war fought in the past with not one but two terminators. Model 101 (Arnold) is the good guy and the cool T-1000 (Robert Patrick) is the seemingly invincible bad guy. The movie has suspense, action, and even some humor. T2 defines what classic movies are.

Note: this is for the special edition. A great movie. There's this feel to the film that I can't describe, but it brings you in and doesn't let go.
Mike gave it a9:

Back in '91, this film was not released - it bloody exploded! I remember it well... the hype was HUGE and it lived right up to it (quite a rarity nowadays!) What I like and respect most about T2 is that it didn't merely try to recreate the first. Sure, familiar elements in plot structure, characters and sets are all there, but Cameron and co. go way beyond that. They didn't settle for just making your archetypal sequel. With the obviously priceless aid of groundbreaking sfx, they created a phenomenal sequel that the punters flocked to. Even those who hadn't seen the first were rabid about seeing this film. You have to call it masterful filmmaking (and, of course, marketing). In purely critical terms, it's not as good a film as the first. It's basically popcorn-cinema, but with a chewier centre than usual. In purely technical terms, it's one of the best of its kind and a film that will long live in the annals of movie history. It's one of those films that even if you haven't seen it, you will still at least know a fair bit about it.
