Too short a film? Perhaps it's just me

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2003)

I was hoping to see X2 but apparently it's already out of the theaters. Shows ya how often I get out.
I'm surprised that the theater wasn't jam-packed - I walked right in and hardly anyone was there at the 8 PM showing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film with Nick Stahl (John Connor). He portrayed Connor as I believe he should have been, but won't give any spoilers as yesterday was the first showing. He definitely out-acted the pubescent Connor in T2. Just the lack of the squeaky cracking voice was reason enough to like him! LOL
I can't say that Kristanna Loken (T-X) really had the latitude to do much with this role what with it being an emotionally void machine, but then again Arnold's T-100(?) had a lot more personality, if you will. I don't think this is a 'spoiler' but I kept noticing how perfect Loken's T-X looked regardless of how often she met physical impacts - not a single hair was out of place! I know, it's because she was a machine meant to look that way. Actually, I found it commendable that the production crew made certain that particular detail was not overlooked. There's so much going on in this film that I'm sure many, including myself, will see it numerous times since I was so engrossed in it that it appeared to end too quickly. Who knows, perhaps on DVD the deleted scenes and/or Director's Cut will make for even more an enjoyable experience.
Well, enough of that. I can't think of anything else to comment about right now since the film only JUST opened and I don't want to ruin any part of it for anyone.
