07/06/03: Saw T3. My Surprising Reaction:

Posted By: Coaster


I loved every second of it. I thought Rise of the Machines was the best “T” of the three. There is a chase scene involving a mobile crane that is beyond cool. The story line was excellent and involved no troublesome time paradoxes despite claims to the contrary. Nick Stahl, Clare Danes, Ahnold, and Mostow did a hell of a job. Turns out this franchise doesn't need Titanic Man after all. Loken, as many have pointed out, could have been a bit more cold and expressionless in her portrayal of the T- X badass terminator, but the T-X was still a worthy and screen captivating opponent for Schwarzenneger and crew. This movie definitely rated high on the Coaster scale. The Coaster Scale, of course, awards points for mystery & suspense, martial arts, chase scenes, and things blowing up. Besides keeping me on the edge of my seat as I couldn’t tell where this movie was headed, there were plenty of robot/robot robot/man battle scenes and things blowing up in spades. I couldn’t have been happier. The best thing this movie had going for it was the same thing that made the original Terminator so good: Non-stop action.

If indeed you were surprised by my reaction to this movie, well then I’d be surprised.
