Dense and Denser

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2003)

The 'Terminator' series has always had its plot going against it. Time travel is finicky business and, unfortunately, 'Terminator 3' takes an already convoluted and mixed-up time plot and changes it around.
Instead of a fairly well planned plot, we get a mixture of "Terminator 2" with "The Fast and the Furious". There really isn't anyway they can top the previous movies without going overboard in one department and lagging in more critical ones. T2 proved that. How many different ways can they make the same car chase?
Jonathan Mostow is competent as a director, but he lacks James Cameron's legendary touch. "B-o-o-h-o-o." Arnold, to quote Danny Glover in "Lethal Weapon", is 'getting too old for this sh**'. His Terminator role lacks the villainy of the first movie or the sympathy of the second. Everything else is unfamiliar and inferior.
Overall, an unnecessary sequel. Correction, make that an unnecessary sequel with a tremendously overblown budget. Warner needs to know where to put their money next time. I give this 1.5 out of 5 stars for being blatantly stupid.
