What has happened to the awesome terminator story

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2003)

To be perfectly honest im 22 and i remember the time when the second terminator movie was released and it was a mega hit, i was ten at the time but have been seriously interested in films since i can remember. T2 was an awesome movie and ive wrote a review on this page about it. T2 was dark and true to its storyline, the t800 acted like a machine and all its actions and reasons for its actions were well explained. The story in T2 was second to none, it really develled into the hellish nightmare of the nuclear war and the performances from linda hamilton were nothing short of excellent but to know more about T2 read my review this is about T3 which i have to be honest i wanted to be so amazing and true to the first to films but turned out to be nothing more than a money spinner for C2 pictures and schwarzenegger, there was absolutly no storyline or plot there was no character development, Arnie did not play the T800 at all like the other two movies and the attempt of humour in a film meant to be so dark was just pathetic, james cameron made the humour in T2 non self conscious so not to take away the intensity of this all powerfull machine. with all things said T3 has alot of eye candy but overall is poorly acted poorly written and poorly directed. T1 gets 8 out of 10 it looses points simply coz the effects are very dated, T2 gets 12 out of 10 there really is no way in which this film could be better and T3 gets 3 out of ten merely coz of its effects.
