It's no Matrix Reloaded, but...

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2003)

To say that the chase sequence, one of the few in Terminator 3, is as good as the highway chase in The Matrix Reloaded is stretching it a bit. I should say this though: The action in T3 is better than the action in any of the previous installments. They do a good job of tying in the previous two movies with references to Sarah Connor, as well as John Connor's lines to T-101: "Don't you remember me? Hasta la vista? Any of that ring a bell?" As well as a cameo by one of the supporting cast members of T2.

I'd say one of my few disappointments with this film would be the opening credits. I was expecting something along the lines of T2, but they went a different route this time, and the catchy Terminator music doesn't come into play until the final credits, but oh well, just one small gripe.

This movie is definitely worth seeing, and this is coming from someone who goes into movies like this thinking, "Great, another sequel. It's going to suck." But I enjoyed myself. They obviously didn't make this movie to get any Oscar bids, but they did cater to the audience, and made sure those who paid to see it had a good time...afterall, isn't that what it's all about?
