Wow! Here's a sequel that delivers the goods

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2003)

Incredible. Who could have guess that a Terminator film without James Cameron can be this good? Seeing the trailers, this seemed like another stupid action flick trying to make money out of the Terminator name. Well, how far from the truth I was!!!! There's actually a script that develops the story and characters we all love and takes us into new and exciting ways. You just have to see the end to see what I mean. Arnie....Oh my god!!! Just when I thought his career was over here comes the proof that given the proper material he kicks booty!!!! Kudos to Jonathan Mostow. I loved his first outing (Breakdown) and didn't care much for U-571, but Rise of the machines is one exception to the rule big summer blockbusters are just mindless s***. I never thought a third film could be that good.
