I am pleasantly surprised

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2003)

This movie was actually better than I thought it was going to be! With that, there are some negatives:
*SPOILERS WITHIN*
The Bad:
The terminator in this one is no match for the liquid terminator in Terminator 2 and that was kind of disappointing.
Sarah Connor's mental doctor from Terminator 1 & 2 has a cameo in this film. Totally unnecessary and not funny.
The T-101 is not very likeable in this movie, being a thug one minute and a jokester the next.
The meeting of John and his little friend Kate. Totally unbelieveable. I think someone dropped the script here.
A robot with laser guided missles cannot hit John and his little friend Kate. Please!
The Good:
Great action scenes & special effects.
Plot is actually believable here and advances the story a bit further which I didn't think was possible. We actually get to see into Skynet and see the start of Judgement Day.
I think if they could have made a better terminator, this movie would be REALLY good, but it kind of takes a away from the movie a bit when I see something less then the T1000.
Overall, 8/10.
