Lives Up to the Second

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2003)

I think the Terminator series is one of the greats in film history, which led me to be concerned that this one would be the Rocky 5 of the group--take away all credibility it had won over the previous dozen years, made possible by great action with equal quality story.
At first, I was concerned that this wound tank-an hour solid of only action. But a decent story did flesh out, and I was surprised and happy with the result.
The highest praise I could give this movie going in was that it lived up to the second. As my summary notes, it clearly did.
