Derivative, Stupid.... but somehow good

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2003)

Leave your brain at the door, T3 is little more than T2 redux, but with less plot and more explosions. There are many "cringe moments" but ultimately it is a lot of fun with some great action scenes. I liked it in spite of myself. Nick Stahl as John Connor was better than Eddie Furlong, Claire Danes was believable as expected and Kristana Loken was eerie. The worst perfomance came from Arnold-whose character was poorly and cheesily written. The ending was terrific though and redeemed the film alot. The car chase was probably the most pointlessly obnoxious action scene ever...needless to say, I loved it. Anticipating a sequel. 7/10 Oh yeah..."Superman 2" is terrible and a shadow of the brilliant "Superman: The Movie"- watch them both again and you'll see what I mean.
