50 Greatest Action Movies Of All Time

48. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

Crank 2
Tri-Star Pictures

Released seven years after the original and costing fifteen times as much, Terminator 2 came burdened with huge expectations. A director that thrives under pressure, James Cameron knocked it out of the park and delivered a movie that still remains one of the greatest blockbusters ever made almost a quarter of a century later.

Featuring groundbreaking and game-changing CGI effects, several stunning action sequences and a cast all working at the top of their game, Terminator 2 upped the ante for both visual effects and action movies in general, as well as an ending fully capable of reducing grown men to tears.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
