The bullet effects in Terminator 2 weren’t CGI

I couldn't agree more about the cutting out of the T1000's erroenous morphing. It adds what, a second and a half to the film? I can't imagine why they felt the need.

I also really like the scene where John tries to teach him to smile, but at least there they have the excuse that it's a minute or two in length.

Certain other scenes, like Kyle's visit and the extra nuclear nightmare scene, I think the movie is better without.

The one cut scene I admit without hesitation ruins the movie (and so they were right to cut it in the theatrical version) is the happy ending where Skynet is defeated.

The actor playing John Connor looks ridiculous. Linda Hamilton in aged makeup looks silly. The whole scene looks corny.

And it defeats the "no future" vibe that worked so well in the first Terminator movie.
