Terminator: Rise of the Machines, would have been great IF..

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2003)

Terminator 2 would never have been made.
then the story would have felt fresh (as well as the TX), as it stands she's nothing more then a Robert Patrick-clone. this is probably also why Linda Hamilton and James Cameron didn't sign on for this movie (they read the script ?!). when is terminator 4 coming was the only question I could utter when leaving this open-ended movie. I'm glad I saw the Pirates of the Caribbean after this one (and It was free for me!), that awesome movie totally blanked out any bad memories of T3 ! .......spoilers.............
the first sign of trouble: Lokkens inflated boobs when she was stopped by the Cop (ever heard of unzipping ?)which was stupid to say the least. great action scenes and special effects couldn't really hold my interrest as much as the first 2 terminator movies because they were obviously ripped. Lokkens "Laser" weapon gets damaged and what "awesome" weapon does she have as a back-up ? right a flamethrower (which we KNOW can't hurt Arnold), I was really scared for him now ?! Robert Patrick's weaponry (stabbing weapons) were far more threathening.
All in all a good action-movie, a bad sequel to the terminator series.
7,5/10
