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…

    Just got outta the TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 35th anniversary rerelease and Jesus Christ, man. What a movie. They had to do all that shit for real. 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.

    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).

    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...

    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 📽️

    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.
