Disappointing but pretty

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2003)

While the special effects were real spiffy, and the movie has some memorable lines, I found the plot unsatisfying. The conversations between battle scenes were painfully forced, almost as though actual lines hadn't been written for the actors. Is this supposed to be character development? Maybe I expected too much after waiting 12 years since the previous installment.
Warning! SPOILER!
After the trailers seemed to promise an epic battle against dozens or hundreds of robots, I was p***ed that it was only a dream sequence.
