Yes, I'm interested in that.
Think the ending of Terminator 2 was very short sighted though, it makes for one great story, humans vs machines after a nuclear holocaust etc, dont see why the wanted to kill it off so soon, heh.

I thought it blew ass, but that's my opinion.
Without giving anything away, the storyline is about how Connor survives judgement day.

Which, of course, nicely gives the only real item of suspense away. Well done.
I thought the first hour was choppy and weak, it could not decide if it was an action film or violent comedy. They also seemed to be trying to earn a PG rating.
Then about an hour in, the movie took on a much darker tone, and went back to being good old Restricted. Certainly ended well, and I was also impressed at how Arnie was somewhat less central to the story than he was in the first two. They set it up so that there could be a Terminator 4 without Arnie in it.
My opinion? if you were a fan of the series so far, then 7 out of 10. Missing the dark evil of the first one and the 'wow' factor of the second one, but that happens to all SFX blockbuster sequels, matrix II being the perfect example.

They showed nukes going off in the trailers, which gives away the whole movie right there. 90% of movies now give away all the plot twists in the ads, and it's really starting to annoy me.
I remember one movie came out a while ago, "Swim Fan", not one I was interested in watching anyways, but the trailer was literally a summary of the entire movie, if you saw that there was absolutely no need to see the movie itself.
It's insane I tell you!

Must admit, I was surprised, and pleased, that they managed to tie the plot in with the end of the 2nd film without making it sound too 'desperate'
And the ending was nice and open, leaving room for Terminator 4 somewhere down the line, which is almost certain to happen.

They showed nukes going off in the trailed for T2 as well, does not necessarily gve the plot away
However, I do agree with your point. In fact, I occasionally rant about the stupidity of trailers and ads ruining fils. Consider T2 for a moment:
The movie was set up so that for the first half hour, you had no idea Arnie was a good guy. The T1000 never killed anyone (visibly, he seemed to be just another Reese) and it would have been a wonderful shock when the reality was realised. Except of course all that was given away by the trailers.
Best trailed? batman the original, just a huge roling batsymbol and then jack Nicholson saying "Wait until they gat a load of me..." thats it. Classic trailed, showed nothing at all, everyone wanted to see the movie.

Well I've just finished watching it and its suprisingly good, after a short while you forget that Arnie looks 100 years old. I recommend it to any fans of the other two. As said before they do manage to tie the story in reasonably well to the orginals and leave it open at the end for large bang bangs in T4 \o/
