James Cameron is missing and Nick Stahl/Claire Danes are not the right actors.

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2003)

I think T2 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. With anticipation I waited for T3. The movie has a great start and some great and funny ideas. the major problems are tough: Nick Stahl is not a good john connor. He turned into a wussie! He is not that young man with a lot of courage that he was in T2. And back then he was 13 years old! Claire Danes plays a scream queen and I can't beleive that the fate of manking would depend on her. The T-X seems to me not as dangerous as the T2 altough she should be more dangerous, but the T-1000 made a more dangerous impression, hard to say why. The movie lacks also in terms of sound. Sound is 50% of the experience and many action sequences have just no music or not good music, it takes away part of the experience. James Cameron knows very well how to use the sound, Mostow now. What doesn't make sense that this T-800 is not the same as he was in T2, yet he refuses to kill humans, how should he know not to do that? I also think it's stupid of Mostow to show an American flag in the movie. Nothing against USA, but this is a human vs. machines movie, it's the world united against the machines, it's just plain stupid to show flags. But I'm not surprised as Mostow claimed in U-571 that the americans captured Enigma, while it actually were the Britisch. T3 has a good start but becomes more and more boring and not very well layed out. Too bad James Cameron and Edward Furlong didn't participate, I'm sure it could have been way better.
