Anyone who knows anything about the Terminator series knows what to expect when they walk into the theater for T3. If you expected intricate plot lines, detailed character development and Academy Award winning performances, you are saddly mistaken. You saw this movie for the action - and this movie serves that up on a silver platter. The amount of damage inflicted on the sets in this movie is inconceivable. T3 takes the action genre and raises it a notch. No more car chases - we have firetrucks and supersized cranes. No more explosions, we have mini hydrogen bombs. This movie is one big demolition. Arnold is great as the Terminator, but his schtick is getting a little tired - but I think in the dark corners of our mind - we still love it. Kristanna Loken is outstanding - even though she barely utters a word. Not as imposing as Robert Patrick in T2 - but still just as lethal. Nick Stahl and Claire Danes are good, but they are mere sketches next to the full life special effects on display here. There is no way T3 could surpass the brillance of T1 and T2, but I think it is a decent installment on the story. Terminator fans should not be disappointed
