The bad apple (Spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2003)

I told you, I told you, I told you: T3 ended up being a real stinker! Though even I didn't predict it to be this bad...
however, this proves my rule of movie series: either the first (Back to the future part 2, Elm street 2 etc.) OR the second sequel (Scream 3, Lethal Weapon 3 etc.) end up being unable to live up to the original. The only exceptions so far are the Die Hard and the Star wars trilogies. I sincerely hope I can add Charlie's Angels 3, Matrix 3 and Blade 3 on my exceptions list in the near future...
But back to T3: the plot is not that bad, but it's so filled with (bad) jokes and plotholes that sometimes you're not sure if this is supposed to be a spoof. At the end we get to some good ol' stuff, like the machines taking over and Arnie vs. the TX, but this is taken away with Arnie fighting with himself- bad idea, bad acting. I strongly believe that the original idea there had Arnie going bad and that the last fight was supposed to be between John vs. bad Arnie, but that this was scrapped because a test audience consisting of 1.000 pot-headed teenagers who had never seen T1 thought it's too dark. Right.
In my opinion the end would have also been better without throughout explanations: the pair gets to the basement, find out it's not skynet, figure out Arnie tricked them there to be safe and the camera pans away as they're listening to the end of the world. Dark like (the original) Planet of the apes.
I don't know what this is, but it sure don't feel like the other terminator movies. Cameron, Hamilton and even Furlong are solely missed, plus Fiedel's score.
So could someone explain me whatta hell is this 7,2/10 rating?? A national inside joke???
