Don't know why people don't like it

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2003)

I've read some other reviews of T3 (not necessarily here on IMDB) that are not favorable at all. I just don't understand this at all. Being a fan of the original Terminator and T2 I found the third installment appropriate and extremely entertaining. Every movie has it's downspots and this one is no different but on the whole, T3 was a great movie. The plot was good and consistent throughout, the storyline flowed nicely, the action was amazing and the intensity increased as we got deeper and deeper into the environment. Even my wife, who is not particularly a fan of the Terminator films, enjoyed this one. The characters were well developed and, contrary to some reviews, the acting was quite good. There was a story to follow and it keeps you guessing. There are some obvious conclusions that can be made but for every one of those there's also a surprise. The casting was a concern for me until I saw the film and when I left the theatre I was convinced that they made some smart decisions in their actor choices.
I would definately recommend T3 to anyone. People who have seen the original and T2 and anyone who has no clue what Terminator is all about. (Although I'm not sure there are many people like that out there) Definately worth the price of admission... more than once!
