Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Based 10 years after T2, T3 happens because "Judgement day cannot be stopped, only delayed." John Connor is now twenty years old. It turns out that somehow the bad guys send yet another terminator back in time to destroy John Connor. And yet again, the good guys send the same Terminator from T2. John Connor and the aging terminator fight to survive against the highly advanced female terminator. The nd also presents a twist that could lead to many sequals.

I've seen lots of reviews citing this movie as not "loyal to the series". Having watched the last part of T2 10 times and never seeing T1, I amm really not sure what to say. My opinion is simply this: The movie was full of action, funny, and kept me interested the whole way through. Arnold Swartzenegger is great as The Terminator, no matter what his age.
