Where's the Beef??

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2003)

Making T movies 101
1. Chase scenes should have tension...not just be excuses to smash up everything in site.
2. Jokes in the earlier movies were delivered deadpan...not strung out with an implied 'insert audience laugh here' (The glasses joke would have been much funnier if they hadn't been so obviously an attempt to get a laugh).
3. The first two movies were intelligent...even the FX were intelligent (the floor morph scene was brilliant in concept and execution).
4. It BADLY missed mom (or a similar obsessed character).
5. Did anyone explain to Nick Stahl he was meant to be Streetwise?
I could go on...but frankly these and other problems have to be levelled at Mostow...the writing was weak, but the director gets paid the BIG BUCKS to deliver a finished product.
I suspect that the ending was so done so T4 can be much less Arnie focused?
