Doesn't live up to expectation

Rating: 3/10 (9 January 2004)

When I first heard about Terminator 3, I was ecstatic. I have loved the first two films ever since I was a child (my older brother's watched them a lot). But when I heard that James Cameron was dropping out, and that John Connor wouldn't be played by Edward Furlong I was a little disapointed, but still excited. However, I was right to be disapointed. Terminator 3 is a good movie in general, but compared to the first two movies, it's crap. There are some OK moments, most movies have them, and even I thought the beginning part with the sunglasses was funny, but the movies aren't made to be funny. They aren't made to mock the first two. The only thing I really liked *****SPOILER***** was seeing the psychiatrist (Dr. Peter Silberman) from the first two films. The ending was also very depressing. If Judgment Day comes anyway, what were the first two films for?************
Anyways, I think that they should have left the Terminator franchise alone. Big budget movies, do not always make good films.
