Year: 2009
Only one word for this. Disappointing.
Maybe expectations were too high, maybe it's hard to make another T2, but then some originality would have been appreciated. Borrowing every single tried & tested method from the first two films (bullets, bazookas, molten lead, freezing... everything has been done before) does not make it a sure shot winner. Neither does the damp squib of a plot. If you haven't seen no 1 & 2 you will probably not even be impressed by John Connor, leader of the resistance, only hope for the humans, blah blah, if it was not for Christian Bale's lovely face it wouldn't have mattered even if John Connor was cut into 50 pieces & fed to mechanical hyenas. Everybody is an accessory in this movie, male lead, female lead, supporting cast, nobody matters, only thing that is good is the camerawork, special effects & the technical shizznit Hollywood is so good at. But then if technicality made good films then we'd see the Resident Evil series screened at Cannes.
Verdict: Watch it if you have time to kill. Otherwise give us Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne any day, we'll pass on John Connor.
P.S: I almost forgot, wait for the scene where Arnie Schwarzenegger appears, it's so funny, you'll probably laugh enough to get your ticket-price's worth.
