Great, great summer action flick! Seriously!

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2003)

I am a big independent film fan and love great scripts and great acting...so this opinion, I believe is coming from a credible place.
This movie was a lot of fun! Definitely delivered the action, the witty comments and Arn-old was great! It's possibly the loudest movie I've ever seen and there is a good amount of action!
Look, if you come into this movie expecting an amazing script and Oscar-calibur performances, wait until November! This is a July 4th weekend, which means fun, no brain, blow-em-up action flick time! It's not too long, not too short, not too slow, mostly good dialogued film! Much, much better than The Hulk! The action is believable (assuming you've seen T2) and the effects are dazzling!
I came into this film today expecting it to be really bad with a new John Conner, a new director, a new vision and an aging Ar-nold! But I was pleasently suprised at what I saw! Watch Terminator or more importantly T2 (since it seems that most of this Terminator drew from the T2 storyline). Sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and soda and forget your life for two hours. Enjoy it, it was fun and really entertaining if not a bit thought-provoking!
I gave it an 8. In reality, I would give it a perfect 7, but since so many people thought it sucked (since they expected it to be as good as T2), I had to overrate it by 1 star!
