Better than T:1, but not half as good as T:2....

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2003)

I really didn't have high expectations for T3 seeing as how T2 was one of the best action movies ever made. But T3 really exceeded my expectations, I was surprised that they actually made a movie worthy of the Terminator name, especially since it's directed by Jonathan Mostow (anyone see U-571?).
The movie provides a satisfying completion to the story, yet it still leaves it open for more. I liked Nick Stahl's John Connor better than Edward Furlong, but Kristanna Loken's Terminator wasn't half as menacing or as cool as Robert Patrick's was. I enjoyed it more than T1, but it's still not quite as good as T2. Overall I give it ***1/2 out of four stars.
