I'll Take a Terminatrix to Go Please

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2008)

Common consensus seems to be that "Terminator 3" is the weakest in the series, and maybe it is. But I actually really liked this movie.
Claire Danes is no Linda Hamilton, but that's o.k., since we get the Terminatrix, a brand spanking new female cyborg that's virtually unstoppable. I kept waiting for her to begin firing bullets from her boobs like that android in the "Austin Powers" movie. People don't seem to like that this film went for a lighter, more comic tone. But come on -- how seriously is anyone expected to take this story?
The screenplay also has a reflexive quality to it, with Arnold the actor, feeling his age as an action movie star, playing an old and outdated model of cyborg, who can't keep up with the new times.
Grade: B+
