Half & Half

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2003)

The first half of this movie just bored me to tears. The wanton destruction just seemed like a crutch to hide the fact that the writers only came up with 30 minutes of material.
Also, I'm sick to death of the "killing machine with breasts" idea that is in every action movie for the past three years. Slapping tight leather pants and spiked heel boots on a supermodel doesn't make her believable as an action star. It just looks silly. Where's Linda Hamilton when you need her? She was ripped, solid AND hot without wearing spiked heels.
On the other hand, I liked the storyline and particularly liked the literal rise of the machines (even though it was only about 10 minutes long in the movie). The inevitability of Judgement Day was cool - I wish they had done more with it.
