The best sequel since terminator 2


Only flaw was the trrrible cgi, this is how sequel should be by continuing a story by making it interesting ( eve ancient backstory) which is not a surprised cus in part 1 she said her mom was Egyptian. Giving the characters growth (eve badass transformation and then having a son) fun ride

Yeah you’re right. I agree

This isn't even close to being on the level of the exceptional "Terminator 2." Sure, it's bigger than the first film, but not better. It's hollow style over substance; it's overKILL.

That said, it has some points of interesting, like several amusing lines and a quality cast, not to mention it looks good e.g. the locations, props and costumes. But the story is dull; it forsakes captivating drama and suspense for overblown action and cartoony CGI. It's easily the least of the trilogy.

Adding a kid is always a terrible idea; so, no.

The phrase "fun" says it all. It was a wild, enjoyable ride, even if the ladies DID duel with Okinawan sais (in the flashback).

What about Under Siege 2?

Great movie, seen it more times in theaters than any other movie
