Re: A little too tongue-in-cheek for me
[quote name="TheVacillator"]I don;t think Arnold was the purveyor of shitty lines. Nick Stahl deserves the credit for being the whiniest protagonist ever to deliver an exposition, or attempt to hard-think through concepts like fate and destiny. Otherwise, the movie was good. I like a little tongue-in-cheek self referentiality in my summer action flicks. A little, far too much and it'll end up being far too self-conscious to be enjoyable, like Charlie's Angels: Full throttle. Not enough and you get bloated overwrought, grandstanding wrecks like Matrix: Reloaded. I'm going in with already low expectations of how the story and characters will turn out. I don't want to be blasted with <i>informed attributes</i> and lenghty boring exposition. What T3 did better than all the rest was spread the action sequences, jokes, homages evenly, despite Stahl's terrible attempts at philosophy. Though in T3, i was hoping to see 1. more future stuff. The whole apocalyptic thing is the entire premise for the trilogy yet we never actually get to see how bad the future is pther than cyborgs running amok. 2. Bigger vehicles after the initial car chase. I was really hoping they'd get bigger and bigger. [/quote]
