A great follow-up to the first two films

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2003)

Coming from an experienced movie goer, this is the best action movie I have ever seen. No, this is not some cheesy summer action flick, but a wonderfully done 3rd film from a line of hard to top masterpieces. True, it is a solid action film, but its greatness would not be achieved without a great story and top notch acting. I was unsure how this film would measure up to the first two. After-all, this movie had all the ingredients for disaster; Director Jonathan Mostow is young and inexperienced, Arnold is quite a bit older, Kristanna Loken is a model turned actress, and the John Connor from T2 (Edward Furlong) isn't on board due to law and substance abuse problems. As it turned out, Mostow pulled it off well. Arnold is back and better than ever, Loken is no Robert Patrick*, but was still ok, and Nick Stahl makes a pretty good John Conner. I give this movie a 10/10, 2 thumbs up, or 5 stars. Whatever you prefer.
*(I mean as acting ability goes; Loken is definitly better looking than Patrick, but I am a guy so I guess it's hard to judge)
