Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of the highest-rated films on BingeBracket. At 73% across 48 head-to-head matchups, it consistently outperforms nearly everything it's matched against. Cameron's sequel didn't just surpass the original — it redefined what an action sequel could be. The liquid-metal T-1000 is still the benchmark for a CGI villain done right, and Schwarzenegger's reprogrammed protector gave the franchise a heart the first film never attempted. It leads the 1990s — no other film from that era performs better. Picking it takes 2.7s. Passing takes 1.8s. The asymmetry says something: its supporters are careful, its detractors are certain.
Synopsis
Set ten years after the events of the original, James Cameron’s classic sci-fi action flick tells the story of a second attempt to get rid of rebellion leader John Connor, this time targeting the boy himself. However, the rebellion has sent a reprogrammed terminator to protect Connor.
85% to 64% looks like a decline until you remember what those numbers mean at this level. Terminator 2: Judgment Day's worst round would be most films' best.
The 85% rate against The Old Guard 2 is among the most lopsided in Terminator 2: Judgment Day's history. Aliens at 70% is another comfortable win.
