No expectations go a long way...

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2003)

Okay, this wasn't as memorable as T1 or T2 but for some reason it didn't matter that much to me. I guess I really wasn't expecting much and ended up getting more. I have to say that without Linda Hamilton the film was missing something. She gave soul to the first 2 and her absence is felt. Would have been nice to see Edward Furlong back also but apparently he's chosen a career in drugs... too bad but his choice. Could Cameron have done better? I guess we'll never know. Again, it was his choice not to do it. Maybe he said all he wanted to say in the first 2. He mixes effects and story better than most. It's usually one or the other and he is excellent at both, so yes, I think he was missed. Bottom line... T1 and T2 both had many scenes that are etched in my memory... T3 is missing that. There wasn't one scene that I will carry around with me. That being said... it also wasn't insultingly bad either... so I'd say it was good but not memorable. It had some holes but not enough to sink it. 7 out of 10...
