Good God I'm still laughing!

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2003)

This movie is the epitome of how bad sequels can get and just how good James Cameron really is! The movie utterly spits in the face of T2 with carbon-copy sequences (opening scene, cemetery shootout, and the tanker chase) that reek of campy humour. Just take a look at Earl Boen's character who was given a rude awakening in T2, much to audiences' satisfaction, and in T3 is brought in for a quick cameo that completely mocks his role in Judgment Day! And for the biggest shame of all: the Terminator is no longer an unstoppable, ultra-violent, killing machine, but a one-liner spouting gentle giant! And the TX! Well if trying to imitate Robert Patrick's vicious T-1000 (and poorly, at that) and inflating one's bust while wearing tight leather is scary, than slap me senseless because I was too busy laughing! And let's not forget the complete lack of interesting characters and a story that at least concludes instead of opening up room for ANOTHER sequel! Maybe that sequel will be written and directed by James Cameron, star Linda Hamilton, and maybe even bring back the drama from T1 & 2.
