Terminator 2: Judgement Day is obviously the follow up to The Terminator. So, really, I should be writing an opinion on Terminator first, but I liked Terminator II better, so that’s why I’m writing this! Did you know that Terminator II was actually made back in 1991.

Terminator 2, which followed a number of years later, is a virtualy retread of the original move but with an enormous budget and more advanced special effects used on it and is also a damn fine movie.
