pointless re-do of T2 without feeling....

Rating: 4/10 (4 July 2003)

T3 is nearly a clone of T2 but without the interesting concepts and humor that made Judgment Day a classic sci-fi actioner.Although there are a few interesting visuals and a plot that could have been worthwhile if it had been fleshed out a lot more and infused with a little more originality,Rise of the Machines is ultimately a vehicle for Arnold to utter humorless one-liners and do constant non-stop action sequences with a villain that is nearly a carbon copy of Robert Patrick in T2.Curiously,this film does have an intriguing finale but it is not enough to save the overall movie.Too much action,not enough brains.It's time to let go of the Terminator franchise.No T4 please...
