Sequels have long had the reputation for either being not as good as the original or tainting the original. This sequel broke the mold. This is truly how a sequel is done correctly. This is 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
BREAKDOWN:
From IMDb:
Reviewers say 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' is acclaimed for its innovative special effects and thrilling action sequences. The film explores themes of destiny, sacrifice, and technological risks, enhanced by strong performances from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Robert Patrick. Its blend of human emotions with science fiction elements is widely appreciated. Despite minor criticisms about plot consistency and character development, 'Terminator 2' is often seen as a superior sequel that elevates the original's story and action.
MY THOUGHTS:
What is there to say about T2 that hasn't already been said a thousand times? It may be the single greatest action movie of all time (despite the original being a straight-up sci-fi slasher movie). T2 rules on every level imaginable.
