Much Better Than I Expected

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2005)

I am a fan of the original Terminator film, and enjoyed the second in the franchise, yet unfortunately Terminator 2: Judgment Day lacked in humor and life and seemed dumbed down for us stupid Americans who just like watching things blow up. This third installment Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is one heck of a lot smarter than the second film and maybe just as smart as the first, it is much funnier and the acting is better than I thought was possible with Arnold Swchartzenegger(Or how ever you spell it) in a lead roll. It may not by quite as fun as the original but it passes up the second. The screenplay has much wittier dialogue than the films before and the characters are better developed. The direction isn't James Cameron but is still quite good. The visual effects are some of the best I have ever seen, they are fantastic. A lot better than I could have hoped for, watch it. Now I kinda even hope that he'll be back again.
