There was way too little blood in this movie. It was too politically correct. [img]tongue.gif[/img]


What really made me angry was that the movie had unbelievably many critical plot-holes and flaws!


For me, this was possibly one of the worst sequels ever made.
<font color=plum>Interestingly enough, <font color=white>uss</font>, one of my best friends had the SAME argument against Terminator 2. In the original movie, the Terminator was an unstoppable killing machine that would never stop going after it's target and literally killed anyone or anything that got in it's way.

In the second movie, the Terminator didn't kill a single person. When they were trapped in the building and surrounded by police, he wounded every officer in the vicinity but didn't kill any of them.

It IS a shame when high action movies with graphic violence have to "tone down" the violence in any sequels to reach a larger "target audience". Hey, guess what - if the first movie was successful enough to get a sequel in the first place, then the "targer audience" obviously had NO PROBLEM with the graphic violence. Sheesh.</font>
