Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The key element in any action picture, I think, is a good villain. Terminator 2 has one, along with an intriguing hero and fierce heroine, and a young boy who is played by Furlong with guts and energy. ...read the complete Terminator 2: Judgment Day movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

All the virtues of the original... are present here, though when Cameron tries to milk some sentiment out of the "personality" and fate of his top machine he comes up flat and empty, and the other characters are scarcely more interesting....read the complete Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
