Very pathetic

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2004)

When I first heart that T3 is coming out in Theaters, I was thrilled. I loved the first 2 films and was anxious to see the sequel. I am so glad that I never found the time to watch this movie in the movie theater. I rented it on DVD and what I found was a very average movie by today's standards. Similar action scenes were done before, and the soul of each character was missing. My biggest complain is how pathetic they made John Connor. Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you think that a kid from Terminator 2 would turn out like he did in T3? Not for a minute. Brave 13 year old John Connor was now a 22 year old wimp. Give me a break, what happened? I am to believe that he would lead the army of people to victory against robots in the future? Come on, be serious. The chemistry between Terminator and John was non existent. There was no chemistry even between John and his wife to be. All this was a compilation of action scenes. I must admit that there was plenty of action and very good special effects. This movie was not directed by James Cameron, and it shows. Sequels generally don't work. Terminator 2, however, was better than Terminator, but Terminator 3, in my opinion, is not even close to being on the same level as Terminator. I never thought to regard Lethal Weapon 4 or Bad Boys 2 a better film than T3. I expected way more from this movie and was very disappointed to see Arnold beaten in one scene at the end. The ending was cut abruptly, probably because they want to make the next Terminator movie. I bet they won't even use Arnold next time. It'll probably be something like 'Starship Troopers', except with robots.
