Terminator 2: Judgment Day (R, 1991)

Best movie I've ever seen with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

James Cameron returns in this sequel, T2: JUDGEMENT DAY, and, just like another sequel he made, this is on my *unofficial* Top 10 Sequels of All Time. It has action, sci-fi, drama, with some comedy mixed in just for relief. It's special effects for the T-1000 were amazing at the time, and even for today's standards looks...alright. A lot of people say that he looks like gelatin or an ooze of some sorts. BUT THAT'S THE POINT! He's supposed to look like LIQUID METAL! DUH!! But, once again, it can get pretty violent. Not as gritty as the first, but a lot more violent. At the beginning, many soldiers are shot by machines. There is a bar fight at the beginning. A man is burned, another is stabbed, and many bones are broken. A man knocks out a police officer and takes his clothes and his car. Two men shoot at each other in a hallway. A truck explodes with a man in it. But the man melts into mercury and forms back into his human form. A woman's arm transforms into a sword-like weapon and stabs a man through a milk carton and through his mouth. She pulls it out and blood spurts. The T-1000 kills a dog and rips off it's collar, blood is seen on the collar. An officer is stabbed in the eye by the T-1000. A guard at a mental institute is hit on the face by a broom that was broken in half, blood spurts. Sarah Connor breaks a mans arm and puts a suringe in his neck that is filled with poison. She does not empty the poisen into him though. T-101 shoots an officer in the leg, he later fights officers in a hallway of a mental institute. In a deleted scene, Sarah Connor cuts the T-101's scalp to get a memory chip. Pretty violent. Sarah dreams about the world ending and things catch on fire. Sarah Connor then catches on fire and starts screaming. This scene is very intense. At Skynet Dyson is shot several times. Sarah Connor is shot in the thigh. T-1000 gets frozen by liquid nitrogen and shattered by a bullet. T-101 and T-1000 get in an intense fight. T-1000 terminates T-101. He then re-programs himself and comes back. T-1000 stabs Sarah Connor in the shoulder. She screams in pain. T-101 terminates T-1000 by shooting him until he falls into hot lava. You can see T-101's red eye, and the metal skeleton under his skin after the big fight scenes. T-101 lowers himself into the hot lava. And even though there's no sex, there IS this stuff: In the beginning, the T-101 is shown nude, but only his chest, back, and his butt is shown. Robert Patrick's character is shown nude and you can see his butt and his penis is visible very briefly. A guard at a mental institute licks Sarah Connor's face while she is restrained to a bed. You can see Sarah Connor's nipples through her shirt in the scenes while she's at the mental institute. When robert patrick's character is dying, he briefly morphs into a women and you can see one of her breasts for a few seconds. And language, 16 f-words(two being motherf*cker), 23 uses of sh*t, and numerous uses of milder profanities such as *amn, h*ll, *ss, b*st*rd, S.O.B, d*ck, b*tch, etc.; In the "Special Extended Edition," there are about 32 f-words, and each cuss word mentioned above is used more often. So, aLL-iN-aLL: Better than the first. Longer, too. It's more action-packed, has a lot more going for it, and is just an all-better film. 9.2/10. Go check it out!

My 10 yr old daughter loved it. She's "gifted & talented" & wise beyond her years. It's up to each parent to decide if the movie is suitable for their own child. I always watch them 1st then make that decison. It was pretty loud w/ gunfire, yelling and chase scenes, but at least when the terminators got shot, it wasn't a lot of blood & guts. No sex, no bathroom humor and a few curse words.

i think it is good beacause it teaches you to keep trying

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*)

Although the violence is not as graphic (or often—now a lot of it's cheesy special effects that make the T1000 look like gelatin) as the original Terminator, there is a lot of surprising language to prepare for: besides around two to four uses of "f—k", John Connor repeatedly uses the term "d—k" and teaches the Terminator to call people "d—kwads"; and Sarah Connor uses the phrase "son of a b—ch" frequently when she's angry (eh, she's always angry). Not for younger kids.

One of the most striking things, for me, about this movie is that Arnold doesn't kill anyone--or at least it doesn't show him killing anyone. If you're a fan of the movies, you're aware of how much more violent Arnold's character is in the first movie. In 1991, this movie was the most expensive ever made ($52 million) and broke down all kinds of technological barriers. Having said that, the movie is chock full of bad language, rebellious youth, and stylized violence. Some teenagers will be able to relate to some of John Connor (Edward Furlong)'s frustrations as he's been shuffled around from foster parent to foster parent, has a clinically crazy mother, skips school, and steals money. Of course, the T-100 (Schwarzenegger) is a cold, remorseless, robot, incapable of showing any type of emotion that has been re-programmed by a futuristic John Connor to save himself as a teenager. Despite being violet and having a ton of bad language, there's a lot of positive messages one can take aware from the movie. One is that "you can't kill people". John tries throughout the duration of the movie to explain this to the terminator, a concept that he's capable of following but is incapable of comprehending. Another is the very strong anti-war/nuclear weapons message and that if humans are going to wage war on another, they need to be in control. Because the machines are emotionless, they're incapable of making moral judgements, something that the human race should be conscientious of. A typical Cameron film, there are also elements of anti-establishment within the picture. I saw this movie at the age of 12 in the theaters with my dad and we both loved it. I think 12 year olds of today can enjoy it as well, if coached by a parent, and given maybe a little bit of help to understand the complexity of the undertones within the movie.

this movie is great, but has strong language and frequent violence. Hasta la Vista, Baby! i liked 1 a little more.
