I just saw it today, and thought it was really good!

And I'm getting quite cynical about movies these days too. In another 20 years, I'll probably be another Ballpeen.

But anyway, I thought the movie was done pretty well. Enough story to keep my attention, and I never really had a moment where I said, "Hmm ... this is a slow boring part. Cut ... next scene." I thought the final battle scene was a bit too long, and the ending was really predictable (for me at least). But I left the movie thinking, "Can't wait for T2!" ... and that's always a good thing.
Also, watching the battle scenes, I couldn't help but think that they really should make a Mech Warrior flick.
