Well worth the franchise.

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2007)

I think this movie suffers from a nostalgia complex (just like the new star wars films). People think about the original two with a warm feeling of nostalgia and are thus in part blinded by the fact that this isn't that much different from them. This has more softening humour than the first two, and the main plot is actually nothing new, but I don't see that as a problem.
Terminator 2 is better, and maybe the first one as well, but I don't think this deserves even nearly as much bashing as it has received. It has nice action scenes (even though at least one of them is a bit over-length), and the lovable humour unique to the terminator series is present. It's a great movie well worth the franchise.
