This was an awful ending to an amazing series

Rating: 1/10 (8 October 2007)

Terminator, the original was a great movie. It was dark and atmospheric. The acting was excellent. I felt Michael Biehn(sp) and Linda Hamilton's characters had chemistry together, the story was good and the action was amazing.
Terminator 2 however, blew me away! How the characters had grown! The future still dark... The action sequences were even better! I waited, and waited so hopefully for the sequel... then finally I saw it, and it had nothing in common with the first two serious films other than the vague following of the plot. The whole film was a joke, and if it had been marketed as a farce or comedy I may have liked it, but it was presented as a serious sequel somehow! The female terminator was hilarious, not menacing... the original terminator looked ready for a rest home, The guy who took over Furlongs part was also very amusing with the dumbo ears and white hair when they show him in the future and the girl was a waste of film altogether... she screamed well, I guess...I'd have to give her that...
It was noted on Linda Hamilton's website that she refused a small part they offered her in the beginning because she said the film had no heart or soul or something like that, and she was right. The first two did and are classics, the third, well, it should never have been made, but the greed and the lack of talent are great in this world...
