The Colonel had me convinced that he was pretty much R Lee Ermey. Funny, but completely one-dimensional and too predictable. It would have been nice to see him show just a little more depth to the character.
But it was pretty damned funny to see him kick down that door when they're leaving the base. Anyone who has seen the movie knows what I'm talking about.
Even if Cameron had shown a little more depth to Giovanni Ribisi's character, I would have let the "crazy military Colonel" character slide. I just thought that the "enemies" were far too cookie-cutter and SOMEONE should have shown some doubt before committing genocide, as most educated and reasonable people would in that situation. It didn't seem reasonable to me at all. Everyone just kind of got in line and watched it all go down.
