Not As Bad As You've Heard

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2006)

I went into this movie with few expectations. Yes, I had been waiting for a long time for it to get made, and after the first Matrix movie, realized that there was nothing T3 could do to wow me special effects wise. All I wanted was a good continuation of the story line mixed with some decent action. And that's exactly what I got. (Which is more than I can say for the Matrix 2 and 3)
I think the best change from the last movie to this one is the recasting of John Connor. Nick Stahl did a pretty good job, and it was a hell of a lot better than Edward "I'm Strung Out On Everything In Existence" Furlong could ever do. Claire Danes was good, even with her Laura Bush haircut and Arnold was...well, Arnold.
A few minor plot holes aside, I recommend watching this if you are a fan of the first two.
