Frankly, this was a lot better than I expected it would be, after reading some reviews. It's a solid action movie with some amazing visuals and a great visual style, which also poses some relatively unique but simple moral questions and follows quite an interesting story.
On the other hand, a lot of things about it are a bit ridiculous, and it is obvious that this was purely meant to be a summer blockbuster. It's a bit odd that Christian Bale agreed to be in it, as he usually goes for roles that are a bit more complex, but it's nice that he was there, nonetheless.
Better than T3, but not as good as T2.
