Arnie is still GOD.

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2003)

Me and a couple of friends went to watch this last night with pretty low expectations. As major fans of the first 2 movies (and all Arnie's late 80's - early 90's outings)we couldn't see how a 56 year old could convince as a killing machine, and with no James Cameron at the helm and a GIRL (?) as the main nemesis things were looking less than promising. However, I'm delighted to say that I obviously know less than nothing as this movie absolutely ruled. Nobody else could play the title role period. Arnies performance was fantastic, shifting from brutal, urinal over the head violence to real laugh out loud comedy with some of the coolest one-liners in recent memory. Nick Stahl and Claire Danes did well in their roles and the director stepped up a gear with some awesome, realistic (ok not realistic, but not 100% CG ala Matrix Reloaded) action sequences. All in all a pretty near perfect summer action movie, roll on T4. Last word however is reserved for the T-X, not only was she well tasty, (damn that long curly hair, always gets in the way)but she gave a convincing performance and more than held her own next to Arnie. Roll on Kristanna Loken in Striptease 2 - Return of the Tease!
