Critics, per Wikipedia
Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released to critical acclaim. Many reviews focused on the state-of-the-art physical, special, and make-up effects, which were roundly praised as "revolutionary" and "spectacular", particularly those calling the T-1000 a "technological wonder". Several publications wrote that Cameron's ability to realize cinematic action blockbusters was unmatched. Janet Maslin said that at his best, despite occasional lapses into melodrama, Cameron's work is akin to that of director Stanley Kubrick. Both Maslin and The Austin Chronicle commented on the kindness and compassion in the film. The Austin Chronicle contrasted it to the lack of a moral message in The Terminator and…

They had to fly that helicopter under an overpass. They had to blow up that building. They had to find an actor who could turn into liquid metal.

neutral · AI labelView post →TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY is a perfect film. 35 years later and I really don't think there's an action film since that's in the same league. Also, fuck A.I. tech bros (Dyson gets a pass here).
positive · AI labelView post →Considering the recent wave of nostalgic movie documentaries, it blows my mind that nobody has made one about the Sherman Oaks Galleria, aka The Mall In Every 80s Movie. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Night of the Comet, Commando, Phantom of the Mall, Innerspace, Chopping Mall, Terminator 2 etc...

neutral · AI labelView post →“Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1991) was entirely improvised. The director James Cameron liked it so much he kept the movie in the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Terminator 3 is not a great movie but one great move they made was to bring back this guy as the psychiatrist from Terminator 2 to be like “oh what the hell it’s happening again? come on!”
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). It's hard to describe how much this movie took over the world back then. I was just a little kid and didn't see it until the video release but T2 was EVERYWHERE. Probably the only comparisons in my lifetime are Batman and Jurassic Park #Filmsky 📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched Terminator 2 last night. The exposition about Cyberdyne becoming the largest supplier of military computer systems etc sent a chill down my spine in a way it never used to when I watched that film as a younger man.
positive · AI labelView post →I went to a screening of Terminator 2 the other night (to commemorate the aug. 29 awakening of skynet ofc) and, fun movie ofc, but ... it was a really odd thing, that arnold schwarzenegger playing a robot with an austrian accent was a whole cultural thing. I kept thinking "up-and-AT-them"
neutral · AI labelView post →Unpopular opinion: Black Adam is a terrific twist on the superhero movie that kinda plays like Terminator 2 plus Superman. The sequence that begins with Adam coming to life in the cave & wasting dozens of mercenaries and ends with "Well, we'll never see HIM again" is exceptional action filmmaking.

neutral · AI labelView post →Terminator 2 is explicitly about the inhumanity of police officers. If that is not what you got from your viewing of the movie you did not do a good job understanding the text.

neutral · AI labelView post →I know she's supposed to be inherently evil, but isn't it time for a movie where the MC befriends Sadako and they go on adventures together? Nobody is afraid of her anymore but everyone wants to hug her. I say it's time for the Terminator 2 of Ringu movies
neutral · AI labelView post →The Terminator is maybe the movie of the 1980s, a grim and legitimately scary sci-fi flick with a suffocating atmosphere. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is also good bsky.app/profile/soph...

positive · AI labelView post →Terminator 2 is a great movie but I think it would've been even better if when Arnold shot the terminator in the face he then said 'Grow a head, make my day' James Cameron: SECURITY!!
positive · AI labelView post →"'No fate but what we make' isn’t a line about launch codes; it’s a line about people. People, as always, are the problem. And Terminator 2 is absolutely a film that demonstrates the peril of people given too much technology to play with."
