Great movie. Mainly the language is the key issue, and when the terminator peels his arm off, that couild scare young ones.

What Parents Need to Know
About Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Parents need to know that this film is extremely violent and features multiple scenes of post-apocalyptic imagery and strong language. However, the film does a surprisingly good job of addressing the issue of collateral damage, which is often glazed over in similar big action films. The point is made by multiple characters, most importantly the child protagonist John Connor, that the killing of bystanders must be avoided at all costs, even though the fate of the world may hang in the balance. In this way, while a definitive big science fiction action film, this movie has more of a conscience than many other films in its genre.

- Families can talk about the development of such amoral killing machines as The Terminators? What would the ramifications of the existence of such machines be?

mostly rated R for language
This movie was as good as the first terminator to me. I thought it was very violent also. There was explosions,shootings,and beatings. There was more language in this one. There were 18 uses of f**k. But if your parents don't care for language in a movie I would say for 9+

Great sci-fi sequel, better then the first
T2 is better then the first Terminator from 1984. It's also full of alot of bad langauage, but has some solid action sequences and actually has a message. If your 14 or older, you'll be OK with this film as long as you don't repeat the f-word.

Violent, but AWESOME
Awesome movie !!! I loved it. It was pretty violent and the F word was said moderately frequently, but I still say that this movie was great.
- I rate this title on for age 7 and give it
Awsome
This movie is awsome. If parents don't like there kids hearing the f-word out of a 14 year old than rent in at block buster.
- I rate this title off for age 17 and give it
Better than the first
Content: Sex - Nothing terrible. Maybe a few innuendos. Also, you see Terminator's bare backside, waist up, and all of his legs, getting extremely close to dangerous territory. Several women see him naked and whistle and stuff. Language: LOTS. Some very strong, which is expected in R. At least thirty swear words. Violence: Need I say anything? I highly recommend an edited version of this movie, such as ClearPlay DVD Player (clearplay.com)

lol lol need to straighten yall out
About the "sexual" scene with the guard? Read up on your asylum tactics, that was a trick to see if Sarah really was in a vegetative state. As for the movie, there was blood and they cursed blue and green, but it wasn't terribly offensive. Even so, I only recommend this for like 15+. Happy terminator-ing.

Great Movie
Ok, Im 13, not 12. I was when i joined, nut i cant update my age, so this is ok for 13 and up. And, if ur from commonsense, and u can change my age, change it to 13! Anyway, this is one of the best movies ive ever seen. Theres plenty of violence, but not too much blood. Theres heavy language, but i suppose, its nothing any 13 year old hasnt heard. So, this is a good movie, most of the violence is dealt to cyborges.

This Is the best action movie EVER!
This movie is great people die but arnold never kills anyone in this movie the part where the gard "licks" sara is more gross than anything (he gets serios pay back later in the movie.) this movie is the founder of CGI in movies. also it has great actors and lighting afects (I can apreatiate it becouse I want to direct movies when I grow up.) a must see it AMAZING!
