outstanding!(at least as good as Terminator 2)

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2007)

if this movie isn't as good as terminator 2,it's darn close.it's definitely a worthy sequel.and as much as i liked the first Terminator movie,i think this is a much better movie.it has pretty much everything.it's part comedy,part action adventure,part drama.and all those elements work here.of course it helps if you have good actors,which this one does.Nick Stahl and Claire Danes play the two romantic leads,and both are quite credible in their roles.of course,Arnie Returns,and is great as usual,especially with his deadpan delivery of the funny lines,which there are quite a few.but to me,the best Part about this movie was Kristanna Loken,who played the T-X ,or the Terminatrix,the villainess of the piece.i think she nailed the part of the cold calculating,unstoppable killing machine.she brings a great intensity to the character.this female Terminator is virtually indestructible,which leads me to the action/fight sequences between her and the good terminator.these scenes are intense and relentlessly exhilarating.at least i thought so,any way.the more i think about it,the more i believe that it's too close for me to call whether this movie or part 2 is the better movie.maybe i'm crazy,but i have to give terminator 3:Rise of the Machines a 10/10.
