While there are perhaps superior “spiritual successors” in other IPs, this is the best true sequel ever made.
The writing is fantastic - clean and efficient while also soulful and charming. Linda Hamilton finally gets a worthy role as Sarah Connor is infinitely more interesting in this installment. But of course this is an Arnold movie - he would never get another showcase of his talents as good as this.
The stunts and action are amazing, and the special effects are still well-designed even if they seem basic today.
