He's back, AGAIN

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2009)

Yes the Terminator returns for yet another go-round with the unrelenting machines. He will do some new stuff and a lot of stuff we've already seen, but hey, it's still good stuff.
I personally enjoyed this film a lot, it lacked most of the first and second films depth, but it still respectable, especially considering it's the third film in the franchise. My friend and his dad also enjoyed the film, they agreed it didn't match the first two but that it was still a good film.
This being the first "Terminator" movie I had seen I didn't know what to expect, I believed this helped me. Too many people compared this to the first two films and expected it to be the same, but it wasn't, it was actually a fairly good film, just not quite as good as the first two fantastic films. Because I had not seen the other two, I was able to see this one as a film and not just a stack up to the first two, thus I honestly believe it was a fairly good addition to the franchise.
The T-X (Kristanna Loken) though amazing in concept didn't exactly carry the coldness that T2's T-000 had, the result being, she was not as effective as she should have been. The acting itself wasn't a perfect gem, but it carried the story like it needed too and there was no particularly large flaw in it.
The reason that T3 wasn't as good as the previous movies is because it couldn't bear the emotional heavy lifting that its predecessors did. It didn't contain the emotional passion that Linda Hamilton gave to T2 or the gritty strength of Michael Biehn's Kyle Reese from the original "Terminator".
T3 does redeem itself though, the ending is one of the most powerful endings to a movie I've ever seen (to the point that it felt slightly disjointed from the rest of the movie). Now I'm not going to spoil it for any viewer who hasn't seen this movie, but the ending of this film is a shocker, especially to fans of the series (Then again with Terminator Salvation out already, most people who haven't seen T3 would have figured it out by now).
7.5/10 Very Good action film, see it.
