Been there, done that.

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2003)

I guess as we see Arnold's film career spiral further down, we will have to indulge him a little more. We will have to endure his publicity stunt involving him being Governor of California and we will have to see him try to go back to something that worked for him before. So, here goes Terminator 3. Sadly, the third installment is by far the weakest of the trilogy. The character and the story has been played out. Oh sure, Arnold's character is much more hero-friendly than the the first installment and even second installment. However, as I watched this standard paint by the numbers sci-fi thriller play itself out, I just felt depressed. You are seeing Arnold try to recreate a character that he was close to twenty years ago. Oh sure, it does not take great range to do so, but still. Perhaps it is naive to expect Arnold to have matured a little bit in his acting career. However, I guess we will not see that Clint Eastwood maturation. Oh well, what is next, Total Recall 2 or Eraser II? Certainly not Last Action Hero 2, Oh Lord, please NO! * out of ****.
