Boring, boring, boring

Rating: 3/10 (11 September 2003)

Before watching this movie (which I was quite much looking forward to) I watched the first parts of the "trilogy" once again to dive into the great dark-futuristic scenario to be able to get this movie the right way. I am not saying that the predecessors were great movies in a sense of intellectually or artistically qualitative films, but they created a really impressive atmosphere and were just good entertainment.
This movie is different. The whole background is taken from the older movies, no new ideas. Just action. Action, action, action. All the time. Man, how I was bored. I admit, the special effects were good, but you can't save a movie just with that. The dialogues (the few that there are) are really embarassing, both for the actors (especially Arnold S. who once again shows that he did NOT become famous for his skills as an actor, but for his unvoluntary comic) and for the spectators.
If you really want to watch this movie, I recommend that you don't do it without several beers and a good company you can discuss how bad with how bad it was afterwards. The only good point I could find was the (hidden) criticism of the US-defense shield. But that couldn't make up for all the sad rest. Sad. Really Sad.
