He's back....and its great.

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2003)

When I first heard that Terminator 3 was on the way I had mixed feelings, I was worried that Arnie couldn't deliver a worthy follow up to the previous two Terminator films without James Cameron, I needn't have worried, Terminator 3 is fantastic. In my opininion its the second best of the series, second only to the original, and better than T2. I always felt that T2 was nowhere nearly as good as the original, but the amazing special effects blinded everyone to the fact. In T3 it is an absolute Joy to see Arnold back in his most famous role, he's absolutely fantastic in this film. He looks great too, he's obviously been back in the gym for this one. Director Jonathon Mostow does a great job filling Camerons shoes and the supporting cast are great, the actor playing John Connor is much more likeable than whiney Ed Norton, and Claire Danes gets better and better as the film progresses, but all in all this film belongs to Arnold, the only down point for me was the lack of the familiar Terminator music from the last two films, anyway welcome back Arnie, roll on T4.
