2. Terminator 2: Judgment Day – CRITICS SAID: 14th. I SAY: So i do have more to say here. An important film in many ways – the CGI still stands up against today’s standards for the most part, But the big story was troducing the strong female lead to film in a way that is still more real than the anime version routinely foisted upon us today. Compare Linda Hamilton's woman...stripped of her femininity, transformed by the first movie, occasionally outmatched physically, but tough, with Angelina Jolie is Wanted or Uma Thurman in Kill Bill - skinny girls inexplicably able to destroy all competition. Also, in a rarity, the kid isn't unbearable. Then there's the staples - the soundtrack is good and the villain is so memorable that the actor can never play himself clean-shaven again.
