I was barely bored at all

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2003)

I think a friend of mine who saw it with me put it best: "They knew it was going to be stupid, so why bother with plot?" There's some sort of contrivance about why we're watching Arnie MK III fight a supermodel with CGI powers, but it's even thinner than what we got in the last movie and not particularly worth worrying about (although if you're hellbent on taking this movie seriously, you might ask why the people of the future picked almost the least-effective time possible to which to send their cyborgs). But really, if this movie's about anything, it's about watching cars blow up. The humor's awful and the characters are boring, although if lip-quivering were an Olympic event Claire Danes would get the gold. The movie promises very little, and admittedly, delivers it reasonably well. I have to admit I didn't get too bored, but I doubt the movie would play so well on a TV set at home.
