A surprisingly excellent action film. While it's all subjective, in my opinion it does surpass the first Terminator film.

Relentlessly dark and exciting. Edited to pinprick precision, superb production values, great acting all round, and with powerful, poignantly somber 80's synth for a score that echoes themes of dehumanization. Plus, much like Cameron's other masterpiece, Aliens, this has endless replay value. Revolutionary, one of the best action films of all time, and unforgettable entertainment.

Sometimes people are imaginative when it comes to sequels!
