Big, loud, and fun

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2003)

I just saw T3 at a screening. Very enjoyable, likely the best of the lot. Strong performances from Claire Danes and Nick Stahl helped humanize the over-the-top scenario. The only problem with the series' development is that the cyborgs keep becoming more omnipotent so that it strains credulity that they couldn't easily destroy a couple of mere out-of-shape mortals who can do little more than run or drive away. Still great stunt work, especially in the first part of the film. In fact, the first half uses up most of the adrenaline of the movie, which deflates the climax a bit. Should win awards for sound effects editing: tremendous! See it at a theatre with good sound system.
