Watched James Cameron's Terminator 2:

This is an extremely well made (but unnecessary) sequel to an all-time classic. The film abandons logic in a few places (for example, how can T-1000's contact with the sole of a shoe produce an identical security guard, and how come there were explosive yellow barrels already waiting at the lab?).

It's also a bit of a stretch that John Connor would choose to send back an identical model T-800 but since that was the only way of returning a lead actor, you just have to accept it. Is quite good fun to see the two lead actors now playing different roles (Linda Hamilton a highly trained badass, and Schwarzenegger a somewhat sympathetic, non-lethal cyborg).

There's a few plot contrivances too such as a very well-timed remote control car crash, a truck just happening to carry liquid nitrogen and a foundry being handily nearby. But the overall movie is so well crafted that you fairly easily choose to just go along with it. Final film score - 7.5/10.

(The original Terminator film would actually score a 9.5).
