good, but could do without nick stahl

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2003)

I saw T3 last week without seeing the previous 2. I don't typically like action movies (except maybe Lethal Weapon) and I was basically dragged to the free showing of T3. I figured, hey, free movie. Well, we got there way early and still had to sit in the front row after waiting in line for at least an hour. Anyway, it turned out to be a pretty good movie. It was never boring, always lots of destruction. I thought for sure they were going to destroy all of Los Angeles. There were quite a few cheesy one liners. Everyone's heard "I'll be back." Don't kill it. We got "She'll be back." And "I'm back." A little over the top, I thought. Arnold was as expected ... big, burly, major ass kickin'. Claire Danes was cute ... her part was fairly small. Nick Stahl is one of the most annoying actors in Hollywood, in my opinion. He's a little too ... prissy ... to be believable as John Connor. I'm willing to overlook that (plus the very odd ending) and say this movie was pretty good. Definitely lots of ass kickin' if that's what you're looking for. Oh yeah, the new chick ... she's pretty badass. She has like one line, but she's still great.
