"More elaborate than the original, but just as shrewdly put together, it cleverly combines the most successful elements of its predecessor with a number of new twists (would you believe a kinder, gentler Terminator?) to produce one hell of a wild ride, a Twilight of the Gods that takes no prisoners and leaves audiences desperate for mercy. " — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"There is not a single rift under its metal shell and, after so many years, it still retains the groundbreaking spirit with the science fiction journey of the machine that learns the value of human empathy." — Brian Eggert, Deep Focus Review
"One of the best franchise sequels ever made." — Dennis Harvey, 48 Hills
