It wasn't necessary (the ending) as the entire premise of the Terminator mythos has ben that the future is indeed mutable not determined - instead it entirely undermines the emotional impact of the end of T2 - that fantastic Sarah Connor overvoice speech.. y'know, the "Now I don't know if the world is going to end after all I live every day one at a time " one.
It was only necessary to set up the War against the Machines sequel . (I bet it's called that.) But you're right, it is still the only not entirely pointless and regurgitated from the previous two eps part of the film.
And yes, Arnie was both too old and too camp (be ashamed of yourself Arnie! you know you have to set the macho thing up *before* you knock it down), had no new catchphrases, which is shocking - couldn't they even have thought of one? and compared to the cute, plucky John C of T2, the new actor is a waste of space. He should have been gorgeous , charismatic, dark, deviant, and stubborn - early Christian Slater without the Jack Nicholson mannerisms would have been ideal - not a dork. (And, thinking of Heathers, I'd rather have had an alt.goth Winona Ryder type for the future mother of the resistance than a whitebread prep girl like Claire Danes too - but we all know why THAT wasn't on.)
I mourn Linda Hamilton. (The line I liked best in the whole film was "You remind me of my mother." Niiice.)
And please, PLEASE no more over extended pointless car chase scenes this summer. (Why did she (T'x) have the crane thing positioned sideways? A. To smash as many things up as poss. As far as I could see, it gave her no assault advantage and slowed her down.)
Capsule summary: Unneccessary. Very. Come back James Cameron , all is forgiven.
This now functionally acts as my review of T3 I guess..
