Need to vent here. T3 was unmoving. I felt no emotion. I felt no connection. Was I wrong for going to the movie with high expectations? To be as good as the second, or even the first? Yes, I feel guilty because I should have known nothing good could have come out of the CRAP that movie studio's produced from 2000 on. The one thing to push me over the edge was the absence of the Terminator 2's score. It was <b>NOT</b> present in any of the film. Not even the credits! Not to mention the cheezy special effects but that was to be expected anyway. Too much BOOM and BANG. It didn't make you think. There was just too much action to really follow along. They didn't stay consistent with the previous two films in some ways. Why change the Terminator's view mode (from red coloration to full color) he wasn't upgraded at all (this is a small nickpick still). The addition of the TX and the change in sex, wasn't at all bad. It didn't take away from the movie. I will highlight the good points of the film later on (edit) but truly this movie was a letdown for me and any of James Cameron's fans, as he, sadly, did not make this movie. To make things even worse, they plan to do a fourth, which in my mind, will completely destroy the Terminator series. GOD DAMNIT, WHY?!!! *fist hits wall*
