it all depends on what you were expecting

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2003)

ok, so we all love T2, and the original was ok, but I think there is something to be said for the new installment of the terminator series.

I'm going to start off by saying that I Hate CG, but the makers of T3 used it very well in most scenes, some times i even wondered if i was watching something real, or a cartoon, and other times it was obvious, but that's not the point. it's still 12 times better than a certain star wars that will remain nameless.
the only thing i'm wondering about is why they couldn't get Edward Furlong to play the older John Conner. Nick Stahl (who inherited the role) does a close to awful job as the main character, next to Claire Daines, who actually does pretty well with the part she's given. Arnold returns as the Title role; he's been doing the part for so long that i think he's finally got it down.
like 7 out of 9 movies playing at the theatre right now, T3 is a sequel or a remake. one of the big problems with making a sequel or a remake is that the film makers feel as though they must pay homage to the orginals, with things that turn out no better that a pun. i feel that the movie was a little caught up in it's sequel-ness; with lines like "she'll be back." and other scenes that were remeniscent of the first 2.
I give it a C- maybe a C. for an action movie, it was ok. for a sequel it was good. acting was pretty bad, but i can over look that. to come up with the final grade.
