BIG Let Down

Rating: 3/10 (28 August 2003)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen. How dare they destroy what had gone before.
First of all it seems to have turned into an action-comedy film, at times the humour is almost slapstick, this means that the suspense of the first two has been completely removed. Our new female terminator friend was lacking. I can't quite put my finger on it but I didn't 'fear' this one. What about the action? We were promised spectacular action scenes and I suppose some were quite good but when you're not enjoying a film they tend to get a bit boring after a while.
If I was forced to say something nice about this film then I would have to say that the ending is good (and not just because the film was now over) but mainly because it was unexpected. I am, however, a little concerned about the prospect of a sequel. Even though I suppose it would HAVE to be better than this.
Now that I've got all that off my chest I'm going to go and sit down and watch the first two installments and try to forget that Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines ever happened.
