Leave your thoughts about Judgment Night.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenA great movie... A pop epiphany, marking that commercially creative point where the power of Hollywood meets the purity of myth. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranBecause it is a sequel, it's less satisfying than the more idea-driven original, but this is still top-flight kick-ass entertainment |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWith some of the overlong running time snipped, Judgment Night might have been palatable. As it stands, however, the best judgment I can pass on this movie is an exceedingly harsh one. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe 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. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenCameron's achievement isn't only technical. He's using all the not-so-cheap thrills of a violent genre to make a movie with an antiviolence message, and the wonder of T2 is that he pulls it off without looking silly. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe movie is a great big feast of wreckage. But that’s also what makes it a bit numbing. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezGiven the opportunities for gratuitous mayhem, director Stephen Hopkins, working from a script by Lewis Colick, is reasonably restrained. He’s aided by his cinematographer, Peter Levy, who gets some real variation out of what might have been undifferentiated darkness. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIt's a joyride until you think about the film's biggest contradiction. How come this movie celebrating the superiority of human feelings over machine precision is most alive when thrilling in the mechanical perfection of the Terminator and T-1000? Inside Terminator 2 beats a human heart. But its soul is that of a killer machine. |
| Washington PostJoe BrownVisceral to the point of overkill (and beyond), a berserk blizzard of kinetic images, it doesn't even give you time to be scared. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaThe film's relentless pummeling grows wearying at 135 minutes. The first Terminator, a half-hour shorter, was leaner and meaner. |
