Not as bad as I thought.

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2003)

Potential Spoiler:
Overall, the movie is fun, entertaining, and worth seeing on the big screen. I was REALLY VERY skeptical about this film, but I went to see it just for SAG (something and giggles)
OK, James Cameron didn't do this one, and it has a totally different flavor from the first films. It is as different from T2 as T2 from T1. I think it combines the cheesy B movie with the serious sequel and adds a bit of humor. For the purists, the one scene I had a problem with, actually has a precedent in T1.
In T3 Arnie tries to kill "someone" by throwing them around a lot, instead of just crushing them like a bug. In T1 Arnie throws around Sarah's room-mate's buddy until he dies. There is no reason, he subsequently blows away Sarah's room-mate with a laser sighted big huge handgun. Ammo conservation glitch? You'd think a fist in the skull would be more efficient, but obviously there is a bug in the program somewhere.
Go see it, it's a laugh and a half. There is a lot of eye candy for the big screen. If you are an Uber-Geek and think you know how it really should have been done don't bother.
