What a waste!

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2003)

As a HUGE fan of the previous Terminator films, I eagerly awaited this installment. Although, as the release date loomed closer, I began having low expectations for the film. Simply because T2 was so incredible. It was an action film, but not JUST an action film. The action was placed in a story about morality, human relationships, fate, and the possible dangers of the advancement of technology.
While T2 succeeded on many levels, T3 succeeds in none. From beginning to end, I was just sitting there hoping it would get better. John Connor's opening narration/update made me sick to my stomach - Just start the story already!
The acting was terrible from the entire ensemble. Kristanna Loken played her part like she was slapped in the middle of a B horror flick, Nick Stahl was weak, and Claire Danes (who I usually really like) seemed to have nothing to do but scream the entire time.
The writing was awful, making this an "ending" to T2 that just was not necessary. Character development was pushed to the back-burner, as John Connor's character even regressed at one point. The action had the distinct feeling of having been done before.
T3 belongs right next to Mostow's other waste, U-571. In the trash. 1/10...........only because I could not give it a 0
