"I'm getting too old for this s***"

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2003)

That line muttered by Glover's character in Lethal Weapon popped in my head when I saw Ah-nuld's naked body slowly rises from the fire of space travel. I could imagined the Terminator saying "Ohhhh boy, here I go again.....I'm getting to old for this s***"."
This film is jammed pack with action - they threw everything into it, a crane, police cars, some helicoptors, some eerie Robocop-looking droids, - everything and anything. So for those who like action - you got a free run of the buffet table here.
***POSSBILE SPOILERS ******
But here's my list of problems I have with this flick.
1) T-X is boring for the fact that she brings nothing to it. With Robert Patrick you could feel the "evil" ooze off him. With her, it ain't nothing. She's like a mannequin - ho-hum...oh she can inflate her bust - yeeeahhh - okay.
2) Story is getting harder to take seriously - yes I know it's a sci-fi action flick and it don't always have to make sense but I like my films to entertain me and get my brain kicking. Too many plot holes...heck, big enough to drive that huge crane through - though it's nice to see parts of industrial downtown Los Angeles get trash to pieces with the chase sequences. So weak story, flimsy excuse of a plot.
3) The Terminator doesn't do anything. Ok, yes, he does a lot of mindless damage but we don't learn anything new about him. The first one you could see the terminator thinking, processing new thoughts and ideas, he's evolving in a way - learning that life is a valuable thing. In this one he pretty much fights and fights and fights. There's a scene where John Conor says something to the line of "What, I have to re-teach you everything ?".
I want to like this film - I'm a big fan of the first two but like the Aliens series, it's getting stale. If you gotta go see it, see it druing the day and save some dough.
